A positive charge Q is distributed uniformly along the positive y-axis between y=0 and y=a. A negative point charge, -q, lies on

the positive x-axis, a distance x from the origin. Calculate the x and y components of the E-field produced by the charge distribution Q at points on the positive x axis.

<span>Hi Josh ... The first thing to notice about the problem is that you are being asked to find the electric field of the charge distribution Q (which is uniformly smeared along part of the y-axis), acting at a point (x,0) on the positive x-axis. The mention of the charge -q is a red herring -- information you do not need. The E-field of the charge Q depends only on the distribution of the charge Q. The role of the -q charge is to be a test charge, such as might be used if you were going to attempt to measure the E-field. But E-field is force per unit test charge. That is, F (force vector) equals (test charge) times E (the E-field vector). Because the test charge in this particular problem is negative, the force will be opposite to the direction of the E-field, and q times the E-field strength.</span>

A teacher pushed a 98 newton desk across a floor for a distance of 5 meter he exerted a horizontal force of 20 newton for four s
Rom4ik [11]
Missing question: "how much work is done by the teacher?" (found on internet)

Solution:
The work done to move the desk across the floor is equal to
W=Fd
where F is the horizontal force applied to move the desk, and d is the distance covered by the desk. If we use F=20 N and d=5 m, we find the work done:
W=Fd=(20 N)(5 m)=100 J

Why there is tides in sea and ocean
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

<em>    Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels. Tides occur due to the gravitational forces exerted on the Earth by moon, and to a lesser extent, the sun. That's why tides occur in ocean or sea.</em>

Hope this helps

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance
maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL

where

R = resistance

X_{L} = Inductive Reactance

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ \frac{1}{x}

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}

\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}

{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})

{R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})

Solving the above eqn:

X_{C} = 4R
