To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to intensity as a function of power and area.

Intensity is defined to be the power per unit area carried by a wave. Power is the rate at which energy is transferred by the wave. In equation form, intensity I is

I = \frac{P}{A}

The area of a sphere is given by

A = 4\pi r^2

So replacing we have to

I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}

Since the question tells us to find the proportion when

r_1 = 5r_2 \rightarrow \frac{r_2}{r_1} = \frac{1}{5}

So considering the two intensities we have to

I_1 = \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}

I_2 = \frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}

The ratio between the two intensities would be

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{ \frac{P_1}{4\pi r_1^2}}{\frac{P_2}{4\pi r_2^2}}

The power does not change therefore it remains constant, which allows summarizing the expression to

\frac{I_1}{I_2}=(\frac{r_2}{r_1})^2

Re-arrange to find I_2

I_2 = I_1 (\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2

I_2 = 100*(\frac{1}{5})^2

I_2 = 4W/m^2

Therefore the intensity at five times this distance from the source is 4W/m^2

Answer:

Inhibit the flow of electrons  

Explanation:

An electric current usually consists of electrons moving through a wire.

An insulator prevents the flow of an electric current, so it inhibits the flow of electrons.

An electron (q=-1.602×10-19C) is placed .03m away from spherical object with a net charge of -7.2 C.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

electric field at the location of electron

= 9 x 10⁹ x 7.2 / .03²

= 72 x 10¹² N/C

force on electron = electric field x charge on electron

= 72 x 10¹² x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 115.2 x 10⁻⁷ N .

C )

work done = charge on electron x potential difference at two points

potential at .03 m

= 9 x 10⁹ x 7.2 / .03

= 2.16 x 10¹² V

potential at .001 m

= 9 x 10⁹ x 7.2 / .001

= 64.8 x 10¹² V

potential difference = (64.8 - 2.16 )x 10¹² V

= 62.64 x 10¹² V  .

work done = 62.64 x 10¹² x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 100.224 x 10⁻⁷ J .

D )

There will be no change in the magnitude of force on positron except that the direction of force will be reversed . In case of electron , there will be repulsion and in case of positron , there will be attraction .

Work done in case of electron will be positive and work done in case of positron will be negative .

electric field due to charge will be same in both the cases .
