Explain what it means when we say a substance is magnetic

A magnetic field is a force field, invisibly pushing electrically charged objects just as a gravitational field pulls objects with mass. Whereas all objects with mass exert a gravitational field, however, not all objects have a magnetic field. Magnetic fields are created by electrical charges. Thanks to their structure at the atomic level, some substances -- like the iron in magnets -- have a permanent magnetic field.

How will the electrostatic force between two electric charges change if the first charge is doubled and the second charge is onl

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

B) $\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = $\frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }$

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, $q_{1}$ is the value of the first charge, $q_{2}$ is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

$q_{1}$ = 2q

$q_{2}$ = $\frac{q}{3}$

So that,

F = $q_{1}$ $q_{2}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= 2q x $\frac{q}{3}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= $\frac{2q^{2} }{3}$ x $\frac{k}{r^{2} }$

= $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{kq}{r^{2} }$

F = $\frac{2}{3}$ x $\frac{kq}{r^{2} }$

The electric force between the given charges would change by $\frac{2}{3}$ .

The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print $A=0.5m^2$

Area of both the foot $A=2\times 0.5=1m^2$

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure $P=\frac{F}{A}$

$P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2$

So the pressure on both feet will be $500N/m^2$ when person stands on both feet.

A plate carries a charge of 3.8 UC, while a rod carries a charge of 1.9 C. How many electrons must be transferred from the plate

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

$N_{electrons}=Q_{transfered}/q_{electron}=5.94*10^{18}electrons$

Explanation:

The total charge is distributed over the two objects:

$Q_{total}/2=(3.8*10^{-6}C+1.9C)/2=0.9500019C\\$

The plate and the rod must have $Q_{total}/2\\$ . So the charge transferred from the plate to the rod is:

$Q_{transfered}=3.8*10^{-6}C-Q_{total}/2=3.8*10^{-6}C-0.9500019C=-0.9499981C\\$

Number of electrons:

$N_{electrons}=Q_{transfered}/q_{electron}=-0.9499981C/(-1.6*10^{-19}C)=5.94*10^{18}electrons$
