A rod of length L lies along the x axis with its left end at the origin. It has a nonuniform charge density λ = αx, where α is a

positive constant. Calculate the electric potential at point B , which lies on the perpendicular bisector of the rod a distance b above the x axis. (Use the following as necessary: α, ke, L, b, and d.)

Answer / Explanation:

For the purpose of clarity, it is to be noted that this question is incomplete due to the fact that the diagrammatic illustration accompanying the question have not been proved.

However, we can find the diagram below.

To be able to properly calculate the electric potential at B, we need to first of all calculate the units if alpha ( ∝)

Therefore:

identifying the units of ∝, we have

λ = c / m = α x = c / m² . m

Therefore, so  α has units of c / m².

Now going back to calculate the electric potential at B, according the diagram below that completes the question, we assume that V = 0 at x = infinity, therefore, we treat V as the sum of the point charge potentials from each bit of charge dq.

Therefore,

V = ∫ K dq/r = ∫ lin(l)(o) K λdx/x + d = ∫ lin(l)(o) K ∝xdx/x + d

Now breaking the above down further,

we have,

         V = K∝ ∫ lin(l)(o) (x + d - d) dx / x + d  =  K∝ ∫ lin(l)(o) (1) dx - d.dx / x + d

         =  K∝ [ ( L - 0) - d ( ln [x + d] ║(ln(L)(0)] = K∝ [ L - d (ln [ L + d] - ln [ d] )]

Therefore,

V = K∝ [ L - d in ( L + d / d).

Therefore, electric potential at point B = V = K∝ [ L - d in ( L + d / d).

A container filled with a sample of an ideal gas at the pressure of 150 Kpa. The gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of
lyudmila [28]

Answer: c) 450 kPa

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}     (At constant temperature and number of moles)

P_1V_1=P_2V_2  

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas  = 150 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas  = ?

V_1 = initial volume of gas   = v L

V_2 = final volume of gas  = \frac{v}{3}L

150\times v=P_2\times \frac{v}{3}  

P_2=450kPa

Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be 450 kPa.

The heat required to raise the temperature of m (kg) of a liquid from T1 to T2 at constant pressure is Z T2CpT dT (1) In high sc
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

(a)

<em>d</em>Q = m<em>d</em>q

<em>d</em>q = C_p<em>d</em>T

q = \int\limits^{T_2}_{T_1} {C_p} \, dT   = C_p (T₂ - T₁)

From the above equations, the underlying assumption is that  C_p remains constant with change in temperature.

(b)

Given;

V = 2L

T₁ = 300 K

Q₁ = 16.73 KJ    ,   Q₂ = 6.14 KJ

ΔT = 3.10 K       ,   ΔT₂ = 3.10 K  for calorimeter

Let C_{cal} be heat constant of calorimeter

Q₂ = C_{cal} ΔT

Heat absorbed by n-C₆H₁₄ = Q₁ - Q₂

Q₁ - Q₂ = m C_p ΔT

number of moles of n-C₆H₁₄, n = m/M

ρ = 650 kg/m³  at 300 K

M = 86.178 g/mol

m = ρv = 650 (2x10⁻³) = 1.3 kg

n = m/M => 1.3 / 0.086178 = 15.085 moles

Q₁ - Q₂ = m C_p' ΔT

C_p = (16.73 - 6.14) / (15.085 x 3.10)

C_p = 0.22646 KJ mol⁻¹ k⁻¹
