Answer:

(a) 135 kV

(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity

Explanation:

(a)

The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by

V = -\dfrac{kQ}{r}

where k = 9\times 10^9 \text{ F/m}

Difference in potential between the points is

kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}

PD = 135\times 10^3\text{ V} = 135\text{ kV}

(b)

If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.

270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]

10 - \dfrac{1}{x} = \dfrac{270000}{9\times10^9\times3\times10^{-6}} = 10

\dfrac{1}{x} = 0

x = \infty

The charge chould be moved to infinity

The maximum pressure variations the human ear can withstand are about how much above and below atmospheric pressure?
Crank

The maximum pressure variations the human ear can withstand  above and below atmospheric pressure is around 30 pa. the normal atmospheric pressure is around 101325 pa. hence the variation in the maximum pressure for human ear is very small as compared to the atmospheric pressure. if the ear is exposed to a pressure greater than this , it can cause permanent damage to the ear.

What connects the upper motor neurons to lower motor neurons?
skad [1K]

Answer:

The upper motor neurons synapse in the spinal cord connect with anterior horn cells of lower motor neurons, usually via interneurons. The anterior horn cells are the cell bodies of the lower motor neurons and are located in the grey matter of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

Interneurons are the central nodes of neural circuits, enabling communication between the upper motor neurons, sensory or motor neurons located in the brain and spinal cord and they send signals to lower motor neurons or central nervous system (CNS) in the brain stem and spinal cord . When they get a signal from the upper motor neurons, they send another signal to your muscles to make them contract. They play vital roles in reflexes, neuronal oscillations, and neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain.

Renshaw cells are among the very first identified interneurons. They are excited by the axon collaterals of the motor neurons. In addition, Renshaw cells make inhibitory connections to several groups of motor neurons.
