Describe a situation that includes no less than four charges of any magnitude, but they combine so that another location, p, has
no net electric field at that point. Describe where those charges could be or what magnitudes they could be
1 answer:
Answer:
Four charges of equal magnitude sitting at the vertices of a square
Explanation:
We can arrive at such a situation by thinking of a simple example first, a configuration of two charges. The force acting on the middle point of a straight line joining the two points(charges) will be zero. That is, the net Electric field will be zero as they cancel out being equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
Now, we can extend this idea to a square having charge q at each vertex. If we put 'p' at the geometric center, we can see that the Electric fields along the diagonals cancel out due to the charges at the diagonally opposite vertices(refer to the figure attached). Actually, the only requirement is that the diagonally opposite charges are equal.
We can further take this to 3 dimensions. Consider a cube having charges of equal magnitude at each vertex. In this case, the point 'p' will yet again be the geometric center as the Electric field due to the diagonally opposite charges will cancel out.

Answer:
Let the second medium be air (n₁=1)
The refractive index n₂ of the medium where first medium is air is found (a)
(a) n₂ = 2
Explanation:
Critical angle can be defined as the angle of incidence that provides the angle of refraction of 90°.
Refractive index of a medium can be defined as a number that describes that how fast a light will travel through that medium.
Critical angle and Refractive index are related by:
To find refractive index of medium with respect to air, substitute n₁=1 (Refractive index of air is 1)
Also θ(critical)=30°
Find n₂ :
Answer:
The acceleration is in 2 D as in between east and south.
Explanation:
mass, m = 50 kg
acceleration, a = 0.25 m/s^2 horizontal
acceleration of elevator, a' = 1 m/s^2 downwards
When a person on the ground the resultant acceleration of the person with respect to the ground is between east and south direction so the path os parabolic in nature. It graph is shown below:
