Answer:
0.906 N
Explanation:
Formula for magnetic force acting on current carrying cable:
Where I = 345A is the current in the wire, B = is the magnetic magnitude generated by Earth. L = 46.9 m is the cable length.
is the angle between vector B and cable direction.
Answer:
E_total = 3 N / A
Explanation:
The electric field is a vector magnitude so when adding we must use vectors, in this case as the initial field E = 4N / c goes towards the axis axis and the field created by the fixed charge (E1) is also on the axis x we can add in scalar form.
E_total = E + E₁
the expression for the field of a point charge is
E₁ = k q₁ / r²
for the point x = 2m, they do not say that the total field is zero, so the charge q1 must be negative
E_total = E -k q₁ / r₂
we substitute
0 = E - k q₁ / r²
q₁ =
let's calculate
q₁ =
q₁ = 1.78 10⁻⁹ C
now we can calculate the field for position x = 4 m
E_total = 4 - 9 10⁹ 1.78 10⁻⁹ / 4²2
E_total = 3 N / A
