 <span>Place a test charge in the middle. It is 2cm away from each charge. 
The electric field E= F/Q where F is the force at the point and Q is the charge causing the force in this point. 
The test charge will have zero net force on it. The left 30uC charge will push it to the right and the right 30uC charge will push it to the left. The left and right force will equal each other and cancel each other out. 
THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION. 
THe electric field exactly midway between them = 0/Q = 0. 
But if the point moves even slightly you need the following formula 
F= (1/4Piε)(Q1Q2/D^2) 
Assume your test charge is positive and make sure you remember two positive charges repel, two unlike charges attract. Draw the forces on the test charge out as vectors and find the magnetude of the force, then divide by the total charge to to find the electric field strength:)</span>

An electric dipole consisting of charges of magnitude 2.00 nC separated by 8.40 μm is in an electric field of strength 1390 N/C.
amid [387]

Answer:

(a) The magnitude of the electric dipole moment is 1.68 x 10⁻¹⁴ C.m

(b) The difference between the potential energies ΔU, is 4.6704 x 10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of charge, q = 2 nC = 2 x 10⁻⁹ C

distance of separation, d = 8.4 μm = 8.4 x 10⁻⁶ m

strength of electric field, E = 1390 N/C

(a) the magnitude of the electric dipole moment

p = qd

p = (2 x 10⁻⁹ C)(8.4 x 10⁻⁶ m)

p = 1.68 x 10⁻¹⁴ C.m

(b) the difference between the potential energies for dipole orientations parallel and anti-parallel to E

ΔU = U(180) - U(0)

ΔU = 2pE

ΔU = 2(1.68 x 10⁻¹⁴ )(1390)

ΔU = 4.6704 x 10⁻¹¹ J

A batter hits two baseballs with the same force.One hits the ground near third base.The other is a home run out of the park.Wher
andrezito [222]

The formula for work is:

W = F * d  Where W is work, F is Force, and d is distance.

Without doing any math, it can be seen from the equation that work is directly proportional to the force applied and the distance it travels.  The homerun hit both traveled more distance and had a grater force applied to it in order to achieve this distance (assuming both baseballs weighed the same).  Based on this reasoning, it is valid to conclude that the baseball which was a homerun was the hit that accomplished more work.

aksik [14]

Answer:

An object appears white when it reflects all wavelengths and black when it absorbs them all. Red, green and blue are the additive primary colors of the color spectrum. Combining balanced amounts of red, green and blue lights also produces pure white.
