Answer:

(a) Magnitude: 14.4 N

(b) Away from the +6 µC charge

Explanation:

As the test charge has the same sign, the force that the other charges exert on it will be a repulsive force. The magnitude of each of the forces will be:

F_e = K\frac{qq_{test}}{r^2}

K is the Coulomb constant equal to 9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2, q and qtest is the charge of the particles, and r is the distance between the particles.

Let's say that a force that goes toward the +6 µC charge is positive, then:

F_e_1 = K\frac{q_1q_{test}}{r^2}=-9*10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2} \frac{6*10^{-6}C*4*10^{-6}C}{(0.1m)^2} =-21.6 N

F_e_2 = K\frac{q_2q_{test}}{r^2}=9*10^9 \frac{Nm^2}{C^2} \frac{2*10^{-6}C*4*10^{-6}C}{(0.1m)^2} =7.2 N

The magnitude will be:

F_e = -21.6 + 7.2 = -14.4 N, away from the +6 µC charge

nordsb [41]

Answer:

A signal is produced.

Radio waves are modulated and amplified.

Radio waves are amplified and demodulated.

A signal is seen, heard, or used.

Explanation:

Communication is the method of transmitting information between two or more participants. A radio communication network is a set of static and wireless radio equipment developed to facilitate an entity by enabling particular modes of communication such as one-to-many and one-to-one communication. Radio waves are being used to transmit information spatially from the sender to receiver, by modulating the radio signal in the transmitter. The above steps explains the loop of the radio communication system.

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a E =1.685*10^3 N/C

b E =36.69*10^3 N/C

c E = 0 N/C

d V = 6.7*10^3 V

e   V = 26.79*10^3V

f   V = 34.67 *10^3 V

g   V= 44.95*10^3 V

h    V= 44.95*10^3 V

i    V= 44.95*10^3 V

Explanation:

From the question we are given that

       The first charge q_1 = 2.00 \mu C = 2.00*10^{-6} C

       The second charge q_2 =1.00 \muC = 1.00*10^{-6}

      The first radius R_1 = 0.500m

      The second radius R_2 = 1.00m

 Generally \ Electric \ field = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1+\ q_2}{r^2}

And Potential \ Difference = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}   [\frac{q_1 }{r}+\frac{q_2}{R_2} ]

The objective is to obtain the the magnitude of electric for different cases

And the potential difference for other cases

Considering a

                      r  = 4.00 m

           E = \frac{((2+1)*10^{-6})*8.99*10^9}{16}

                = 1.685*10^3 N/C

Considering b

           r = 0.700 m \ , R_2 > r > R_1

This implies that the electric field would be

            E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r^2}

             This because it the electric filed of the charge which is below it in distance that it would feel

            E = 8*99*10^9  \frac{2*10^{-6}}{0.4900}

               = 36.69*10^3 N/C

   Considering c

                      r  = 0.200 m

=>   r

 The electric field = 0

     This is because the both charge are above it in terms of distance so it wont feel the effect of their electric field

       Considering d

                  r  = 4.00 m

=> r > R_1 >r>R_2

Now the potential difference is

                  V =\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 + \ q_2}{r} = 8.99*10^9 * \frac{3*10^{-6}}{4} = 6.7*10^3 V

This so because the distance between the charge we are considering is further than the two charges given  

          Considering e

                       r = 1.00 m R_2 = r > R_1

                V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{r} +\frac{q_2}{R_2}  ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{1.00} \frac{1.00*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 26.79 *10^3 V

          Considering f

              r = 0.700 m \ , R_2 > r > R_1

                      V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{r} +\frac{q_2}{R_2}  ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.700} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 34.67 *10^3 V

          Considering g

             r =0.500\m , R_1 >r =R_1

   V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{r} +\frac{q_2}{R_2}  ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.500} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 44.95 *10^3 V

          Considering h

                r =0.200\m , R_1 >R_1>r

  V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{R_1} +\frac{q_2}{R_2}  ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.500} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 44.95 *10^3 V

           Considering i    

   r =0\ m \ , R_1 >R_1>r

  V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{R_1} +\frac{q_2}{R_2}  ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.500} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 44.95 *10^3 V
