Point charges q1=+2.00μC and q2=−2.00μC are placed at adjacent corners of a square for which the length of each side is 5.00 cm.?

Point a is at the center of the square, and point b is at the empty corner closest to q2. Take the electric potential to be zero at a distance far from both charges.  

(a) What is the electric potential at point a due to q1 and q2?  

(b) What is the electric potential at point b?

(c) A point charge q3 = -6.00 μC moves from point a to point b. How much work is done on q3 by the electric forces exerted by q1 and q2?

Answer:

a) the potential is zero at the center .

Explanation:

a) since the two equal-magnitude and oppositely charged particles are equidistant

b)(b) Electric potential at point b, v = Σ kQ/r

r = 5cm = 0.05m

k = 8.99*10^9 N·m²/C²

Q = -2 microcoulomb

v= (8.99*10^9) * (2*10^-6) * (1/√2m - 1) / 0.0500m

v =  -105 324 V

c)workdone = charge * potential

work = -6.00µC * -105324V

work = 0.632 J

How much charge can be placed on a capacitor with air between the plates before it breaks down if the area of each plate is 4.00
klio [65]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the separation of plate be equal to d and the area of plates is 9 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}. As the capacitance of capacitor is given as follows.

            C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{d}

It is known that the dielectric strength of air is as follows.

               E = 3 \times 10^{6} V/m

Expression for maximum potential difference is that the capacitor can with stand is as follows.

                       dV = E × d

And, maximum charge that can be placed on the capacitor is as follows.

               Q = CV

                   = \frac{\epsilon_{o} A}{d} \times E \times d

                   = \epsilon_{o}AE

                   = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 3 \times 10^{6} \times 4 \times 10^{-4}

                   = 1.062 \times 10^{-8} C

or,                = 10.62 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on capacitor is 10.62 nC.

A student went to a hill station early in the morning, he could hear the echo of his clap after 0.1 second. When he went to the
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

See the explanation.

Explanation:

The speeds of sound depend upon the temperature of the medium. As the temperature increased in the afternoon, the speed of sound increases. Then the time taken by reflected sound will be less than 0.1 sec in the afternoon. And to hear an echo the time gap between an original sound and reflected sound must be at least 0.1 sec. That is why the student could not hear the echo at all in the afternoon.

The center of a moon of mass m is a distance D from the center of a planet of mass M. At some distance x from the center of the
nataly862011 [7]

Answer with Explanation:

Let  rest mass m_0 at point P  at  distance x from center of the planet, along a line connecting the centers of planet and the moon.

Mass of moon=m

Distance between the center of moon and center of planet=D

Mass of planet=M

We are given that net force on an object will be zero

a.We have to derive an expression for x in terms of m, M and D.

We know that gravitational force=\frac{GmM}{r^2}

Distance of P from moon=D-x

F_m=Force applied on rest mass due to m

F_m=Force on rest mass due to mas M

F_M=F_m because net force is equal to 0.

F_m=F_M

\frac{Gm_0m}{(D-x)^2}=\frac{Gm_0M}{x^2}

\frac{m}{(D-x)^2}=\frac{M}{x^2}

\frac{x^2}{(D-x)^2}=\frac{M}{m}

\frac{x}{D-x}=\sqrt{\frac{M}{m}}

Let R=\sqrt{\frac{M}{m}}

Then, \frac{x}{D-x}=R

x=DR-xR

x+xR=DR

x(1+R)=DR

x=\frac{DR}{1+R}

b.We have to find the ratio R of the mass of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon when x=\frac{2}{3}D

Net force is zero

F_m=F_M

\frac{Gm_0m}{(D-\frac{2}{3}D)^2}=\frac{Gm_0M}{\frac{4}{9}D^2}

\frac{m}{\frac{D^2}{9}}=\frac{9M}{4D^2}

\frac{M}{m}=4

Hence, the ratio R of the mass of the planet to the mass of the moon=4:1
