Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsice force

can be great enough to support the top pieces weight. Assuming equal point charges, calculate the magnitide of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a 11.0 mg piece of tape held 1.00 cm above another.

Answer:

Q = 1.095 x 10^-9 C

Let the force experienced by the top piece of tape be F

F = kQ²/r²

r = distance between the two pieces tape = 1.00cm = 1.00 x 10^ -2 m

1/4(pi)*Eo = k = 8.99 x 10^9 Nm²/C²

The electric force of repulsion between the two charges and the weight of the top piece of tape are equal so

F = kQ²/r² = mg

Where m is the mass of the top piece of tape and g is the acceleration due to gravity

On re-arranging the equation above,

Q² = mgr²/k

Q² = ((11.0 x 10^-6) x 9.8 x (1.00x10^-2)²)/(8.99 x 10^9)

Q = 1.095x10^-9 C

Explanation:

The charge Q on both pieces of tape are equal and both act with a force of repulsion on each other.

The force of repulsion between both tapes pushes the top piece of tape upwards. The weight of the top piece of tape acts vertically downward. Since the top tape is in a position of equilibrium, the two forces acting on the top piece of tape must be equal to each other. This assumption is backed up by newton's first law of motion which states that the summation of all forces acting on a body at rest must be equal to zero. That is

Fe (electric force) - Fg (gravitational force) = 0

Fe = Fg

kQ²/r² = mg

On substituting the respective values for all variables except Q and rearranging the equation Q = 1.09 x 10^-9

Consider a loop of wire with a resistor. In the same plane, (with switch S closed) a long wire has a current I flowing from left
Ulleksa [173]

Solution :

The given figure is a loop of a wire with a resistor.

When the switch S is closed for long time and is suddenly opened, the direction of the induced current can be find out by using the rule of right hand screw. According to the right hand screw rule, the direction of the magnetic field at the loop is in the direction that points outwards. The strength of the current rapidly decreases as it is switch off and the magnetic flux that is linked with the loop wire will also decrease.

According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current must be such $\text{that it opposes}$ the decrease in the magnetic flux.  It means the direction of the magnetic field must be outwards and also normal to the plane of the screen. The direction of the induced anti clockwise or from right to left in the resistance.

A real object is 10.0 cm to the left of a thin, diverging lens having a focal length of magnitude 16.0 cm. What is the location
amm1812

Answer:

A)6.15 cm to the left of the lens

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}

where

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

f=-16.0 cm (the focal length is negative for a diverging lens)

p=10.0 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solvign the equation for q, we find

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-16.0 cm}-\frac{1}{10.0 cm}=-0.163 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{-0.163 cm^{-1}}=-6.15 cm

And the sign (negative) means the image is on the left of the lens, because it is a virtual image, so the correct answer is

A)6.15 cm to the left of the lens
