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:
a. The primary turns is 60 turns
b. The secondary voltage will be 360 volts.
Explanation:
Given data
secondary turns N2= 40 turns
primary turns N1= ?
primary voltage V1= 120 volts
secondary voltage V2= 8 volts
Applying the transformer formula which is
we can solve for N1 by substituting into the equation above
the primary turns is 60 turns
If the primary voltage is V1 240 volts hence the secondary voltage V2 will be (to get the voltage of the secondary coil using emf substitute the values of the previously gotten N1 and N2 using V1 as 240 volts)
the secondary voltage will be 360 volts.
