As we know that electric field at any point caused due to a point charge given by, kQ/r^2

Where, k is dielectric constant of medium, Q is the point charge and r is the distance between the point charge and point where electric field is to be measured.

Let us assume a charge of q is placed at x=+20cm to make electric field at
x=+10cm zero.

Total electric field at x=+10cm can be shown by equation,

(k X 2.20 X 10^-12)/(10-0)^2  +  (k X -4.80 X 10^-12)/(10-(-11))^2  + (k X
q)/(10-20)^2  = 0

=> 2.20 X 10^-14 - 1.09 X 10^-14 + q X 10^-2 = 0

=> q = 1.09 X 10^-12 - 2.20 X 10^-12

=> q = -1.1 X 10^-12 Coulombs or -1.1 pC

Answer: The charge must be -1.11pC

Explanation: The field done by a charge is equal to:

E(x) = k*q/(x - x')^2

Where k is the constant, q is the charge and x' is the position of the charge, then, the total field at the point x = 10cm must be also zero, we have:

E(10cm) = k*(2.20pC/(10cm - 0cm)^2 - 4.80pC/(10cm + 11cm)^2 + Q/(10cm - 20cm)^2) = 0

And we must find the value of Q.

(2.20pC/(10cm)^2 - 4.80pC/(21cm)^2 + Q/(-10cm)^2) = 0

Q = (-2.20pC/(10cm)^2 + 4.80pC/(21cm)^2)*(10cm)^2 = -1.11pC

You are moving into an apartment and take the elevator to the 6th floor. Suppose your weight is 660 N and that of your belonging
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

Total weight

My weight+weight of belongings

660+1100=1760N.

a. Work done by the elevator to travel a total height of 15.2m

Using newton law of motion

ΣF = ma

There are only two forces acting upward, the weight and the reaction by the elevator

Also note it is moving at constant velocity then, a=0

N - W=0

Then, N=W

N=1760N

So, workdone is given as

Wordone, =force × distance

Work done=1760×15.2

W=26,752J

W=26.752KJ

b. Work done on me alone is still need to go through the same process but will remove the weight of the belonging

Therefore,

Weight now = 660N

And using the same equation of motion

ΣF = ma

Comstant velocity, a=0

N - W=0

N=W

N=660N

Then, workdone

W=F×d

W=660×15.2

W=10,032J

W=10.032KJ

Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.7 x 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m a
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

\lambda = 570\ nm

Explanation:

Given,

Width of slit, W = 5.7 x 10⁻⁴ m

Distance between central bright fringe, L = 4 m

distance between central bright fringe and first dark fringe, y = 4 mm

Diffraction angle

tan \theta = \dfrac{y}{L}

tan \theta = \dfrac{4}{4\times 10^3}

\theta = 0.0572

Now.

W sin \theta = m \lambda

m = 1

5.7 \times 10^{-4} \times sin (0.0572) = 1 \times \lambda

\lambda = 569.99 \times 10^{-9}\ m

\lambda = 570\ nm
