The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that

we can still apply Gauss's law to a Gaussian surface that is entirely within an insulator by replacing the right-hand side of Gauss's law, Qin/eo, with Qin/e, where ε is the permittivity of the material. (Technically, Eo is called the vacuum permittivity.) Suppose that a 70 nC point charge is surrounded by a thin, 32-cm-diameter spherical rubber shell and that the electric field strength inside the rubber shell is 2500 N/C.
What is the permittivity of rubber?

Answer:

The permittivity of rubber is  \epsilon  = 8.703 *10^{-11}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  magnitude of the point charge is  q_1 =  70 \ nC  =  70 *10^{-9} \  C

      The diameter of the rubber shell is  d = 32 \ cm  =  0.32 \ m

       The Electric field inside the rubber shell is  E =  2500 \ N/ C

The radius of the rubber is  mathematically evaluated as

              r =  \frac{d}{2} =  \frac{0.32}{2}  =  0.16 \ m

Generally the electric field for a point  is in an insulator(rubber) is mathematically represented as

         E =  \frac{Q}{ \epsilon }  *  \frac{1}{4 *  \pi r^2}

Where \epsilon is the permittivity of rubber

    =>     E  *  \epsilon  *  4 * \pi *  r^2 =  Q

   =>      \epsilon  =  \frac{Q}{E *  4 *  \pi *  r^2}

substituting values

            \epsilon  =  \frac{70 *10^{-9}}{2500 *  4 *  3.142 *  (0.16)^2}

            \epsilon  = 8.703 *10^{-11}

A. Made of the marble.

the mass remains constant when you drop the marble but the rest of the variables change as the marble is dropped, therefore, the only constant variable is its mass.

What is the volume of an object that has a density of 65g/cm3 and a mass of 130g.
lora16 [44]

Density <em>ρ</em> is mass <em>m</em> per unit volume <em>v</em>, or

<em>ρ</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>v</em>

Solving for <em>v</em> gives

<em>v</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>ρ</em>

So the given object has a volume of

<em>v</em> = (130 g) / (65 g/cm³) = 2 cm³

Which condition is necessary for total internal reflection? A. The refracted ray should lie along the boundary of the two media.
g100num [7]

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection, which is when light hits the boundary between two mediums and reflects back into its original medium:

Light is about to pass from a more optically dense medium (slower) to a less optically dense medium (faster).

The angle of incidence is greater than the defined critical angle for the two mediums, which is given by:

θ = sin⁻¹(n_{fast}/n_{slow})

Where θ = critical angle, n_{fast} = refractive index of faster medium, n_{slow} = refractive index of slower medium.

Choice C gives one of the above necessary conditions.
