Answer:

The total electric potential at mid way due to 'q' is \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}

The net Electric field at midway due to 'q' is 0.

Solution:

According to the question, the separation between two parallel plates, plate A and plate B (say)  = d

The electric potential at a distance d due to 'Q' is:

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d}

Now, for the Electric potential for the two plates A and B at midway between the plates due to 'q':

For plate A,

V_{A} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}

Similar is the case with plate B:

V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}

Since the electric potential is a scalar quantity, the net or total potential is given as the sum of the potential for the two plates:

V_{total} = V_{A} + V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.q(\frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}} + \frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}}

V_{total} = \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}

Now,

The Electric field due to charge Q at a distance is given by:

\vec{E} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d^{2}}

Now, if the charge q is mid way between the field, then distance is \frac{d}{2}.

Electric Field at plate A, \vec{E_{A}} at midway due to charge q:

\vec{E_{A}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

Similarly, for plate B:

\vec{E_{B}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

Both the fields for plate A and B are due to charge 'q' and as such will be equal in magnitude with direction of fields opposite to each other and hence cancels out making net Electric field zero.

Lena [83]

Answer: 316.8V

Explanation:

given data:

metre moving current = 0.96mA

meters voltage = 288V

or  0.96*300V = 288V

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

<u><em /></u>v1 = (0.96mA*150)<u><em /></u>

<u><em /></u>= 144V<u><em /></u>

<u><em /></u>

i1 = \frac{144v}{750}

= 0.192mA

i2 = imovement + i1

i2= 0.96mA+0.192mA

= 1.152mA

Vmeasured = 144V+(150)(1.152mA)

=316.8V

the unknown voltage is 316.8V

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The stunt will likely sustain serious injury in case of concrete blocks because the average force acting on the person will be more because concrete blocks do not squeeze to provide more time for the force to act on the body instead it acts for a small amount of interval.

Impulse=F_{avg}\times \Delta T

As impulse is constant so time requires to act force on the body is more as compared to concrete block and thus average force in mattress case is less.
