Answer:

No work is performed or required in moving the positive charge from point A to point B.

Explanation:

Lets take

Q= Positive charge which move from  point A to point B along

Voltage difference,ΔV =V₁ - V₂  

The work done

W = Q . ΔV

Given that  charge is moved from point A to point B along an equipotential surface.It means that voltage  difference is zero.

ΔV = 0

So

W = Q . ΔV

W = Q x 0

W= 0 J

So work is zero.

The speed of a sound wave traveling through air is 400 meters per second. The wavelength of the wave is 25 meters What is the
sweet [91]

Answer:

16Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of sound  = 400m/s

Wavelength  = 25m

Unknown:

Frequency of the wave  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

      V  = F ∧  

V is the velocity

F is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

      400  = F x 25

        F  = 16Hz

Two point charges 3q and −8q (with q > 0) are at x = 0 and x = L, respectively, and free to move. A third charge is placed so
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The unknown charge can not remain in between the charge given because force on the middle charge will act in the same direction due to both the remaining charges.

So the unknown charge is somewhere on negative side of x axis . Its charge will be negative . Let it be - Q and let it be at distance - x on x axis.

force on it due to rest of the charges will be equal and opposite so

k3q Q / x² =k 8q Q / (L+x)²

8x² = 3 (L+x)²

2√2 x = √3 (L+x)

2√2 x - √3 x = √3 L

x(2√2 - √3 ) = √3 L

x = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

Let us consider the balancing force on 3q

force on it due to -Q and -8q will be equal

kQ . 3q / x² = k3q  8q / L²

Q = 8q  (x² / L²)

so charge required = - 8q  (x² / L²)

and its distance from x on negative x side = √3 L / (2√2 - √3 )

An electric field of 280000 N/C points due west at a certain spot. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -
nordsb [41]
<h2>The magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -7.9C at this spot is 2.21 x 10⁶ N.</h2>

Explanation:

Electric field is the ratio of force and charge.

Electric field, E = 280000 N/C

Charge, q = -7.9 C

We have

                 E=\frac{F}{q}\\\\280000=\frac{F}{7.9}\\\\F=280000\times 7.9\\\\F=2.21\times 10^6N

The magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of -7.9C at this spot is 2.21 x 10⁶ N.
