A pair of opposite electric charges of equal magnitude is called a(n)
2 answers:
Answer:
A) dipole.
Explanation:
As we know that when two equal and opposite charges are placed at some distance from each other then this combination of two equal and opposite charges are known as electric dipole.
Here electric dipole has dipole moment which is a vector quantity which is measured as the product of charge and distance between the two charges
it is given as
here the direction of dipole moment is from negative charge to positive charge.
so correct answer is given as
A) dipole.

Refer to the diagram shown below.
The basket is represented by a weightless rigid beam of length 0.78 m.
The x-coordinate is measured from the left end of the basket.
The mass at x=0 is 2*0.55 = 1.1 kg.
The weight acting at x = 0 is W₁ = 1.1*9.8 = 10.78 N
The mass near the right end is 1.8 kg.
Its weight is W₂ = 1.8*9.8 = 17.64 N
The fulcrum is in the middle of the basket, therefore its location is
x = 0.78/2 = 0.39 m.
For equilibrium, the sum of moments about the fulcrum is zero.
Therefore
(10.78 N)*(0.39 m) - (17.64 N)*(x-0.39 m) = 0
4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m
Answer: 0.63 m from the left end.

4.2042 - 17.64x + 6.8796 = 0
-17.64x = -11.0838
x = 0.6283 m
Answer: 0.63 m from the left end.
