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

(3)A point charge q3 = -2.00 μC moves from point a to point b. How much work is done on q3 by the electric forces exerted by q1 and q2?

The electric potential is a scalar unit, so we don't have to struggle with the vectors. The formula that gives electric potential is

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r}

1) At point a, the electric potential is the sum of the potentials due to q1 and q2. So,

V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}

The distance from the center of the square to one of the corners is \sqrt2 L/2 = 0.035m

V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} = 0

The answer is zero, because the point charges are at equal distances and their magnitudes are also equal but their directions are opposite.

2) V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}

r_1 = 0.05\sqrt2m\\r_2 = 0.05m

V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05\sqrt2} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.05}\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05} (\frac{1}{\sqrt2}-1)\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} (4\times 10^{-5})(-0.29)\\V_b = (-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})[tex]3) The work done on q3 by q1 and q2 is equal to the difference between  energies. This is the work-energy theorem. So,[tex]W = U_b - U_a

U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_3}{r} = Vq_3

W = q_3(V_b - V_a) = q_3(V_b - 0)\\W = (-2\times10^{-6})(-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})\\W = \frac{5.8\times10^{-12}}{\pi\epsilon_0}

Problem 1: Spherical mirrorConsider a spherical mirror of radius 2 m, and rays which go parallel to the optic axis. What is thep
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1) iii i= 1m, 2)  iii and iv, 3)  i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

Explanation:

Problem 1

For this problem we use two equations the equations of the focal distance in mirrors

              f = r / 2

              f = 2/2

             f = 1 m

The builder's equation

           1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, "o and i" are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

For a ray to arrive parallel to the surface it must come from infinity, whereby o = ∞ and 1 / o = 0

              1 / f = 0 + 1 / i

              i = f

              i = 1 m

The image is formed at the focal point

The correct answer is iii

Problem 2

For this problem we have two possibilities the lens is convergent or divergent, in both cases the back face (R₂) must be flat

Case 1 Flat lens - convex (convergent)

              R₂ = infinity

              R₁ > 0

Cas2 Flat-concave (divergent) lens

             R₂ = infinity

              R₁ <0

Why the correct answers are iii and iv

Problem 3

For a thick lens the rays parallel to the first surface fall in their focal length (f₁), this is the exit point for the second surface whereby the distance to the object is o = L –f₁, let's apply the constructor equation to this second surface

          1 / f₂ = 1 / (L-f₁) + 1 / i

          1 / i = 1 / f₂ - 1 / (L-f₁)

           1 / i = (L-f₁-f₂) / f₂ (L-f₁)

           i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

This is the image of the rays that enter parallel to the first surface
