There are two parallel conductive plates separated by a distance d and zero potential. Calculate the potential and electric fiel

d that occurs if a q charge is placed between the plates at a distance d/2.

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.

0.22 L of pancake syrup has a mass of 33 g.
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a. 150 g/L

b. 75 g

c. 120 mL

Explanation:

a. 33g/0.22L=150 g/L

b. 33g/0.22L=150 g/L

150 g/L*0.5L=75g

c. 0.22L/33g=0.006667L/g

0.006667L/g*18g=0.12L

0.12L*1000=120mL

What is the frequency heard by a person driving at 15 m/s toward a factory whistle emitting a
zmey [24]

Answer:

835.29 Hz

Explanation:

When moving towards the source of sound, frequency will be given by

f*=f(vd+v)/v

Where f is the freqiency of the source, vd is the driving speed, v is the speed of sound in air, f* is the inkown frequency when moving forward.

Substituting 800 Hz for f, 340 m/s for v and 15 m/s for vd then

f*=800(15+340)/340=835.29411764704 Hz

Rounded off, the frequency is approximately 835.29 Hz

Which of the following statements about Gaussʹs law are correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.) Question 3 options
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because, given this case, it is easier to calculate the field.

Option B is incorrect because, in a situation where the surface is placed inside a uniform field, option B is violated

Option C is also incorrect because it is possible to be a field from outside charges, but there will be an absence of net flux through the surface from these.

Hence, option D is the correct answer. "If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface."

A toy car has a 1.5 A current, and its resistance is 2 Ω. How much voltage does the car require?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Battery Voltage

Explanation:

Voltage refers to the amount of electrical potential your battery holds. The standard automotive battery in today's vehicles is a 12-volt battery. Each battery has six cells, each with 2.1 volts at full charge. A car battery is considered fully charged at 12.6 volts or higher. hope this helps you :)
