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

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.

Which transition by an electron will release the greatest amount of energy? hurry!
Sphinxa [80]

highest energy level to the ground state.

Explanation:

The transition from the highest energy level to the ground state.

An electron has a discrete amount of energy accrued to it in any energy level it belongs to.

Electrons can transition between one energy level or the other.

  • When electrons change state, they either release or absorb energy.
  • When an atom absorbs energy, they move from their ground to final state which is consistent with the energy of the final state.
  • When electrons release energy, they move from excited state to their ground state.
  • Electrons will release the greatest amount of energy when they move from the highest energy level to the ground state.

A ball is released from a hot air balloon moving downward with a velocity of -10.0 meters/second and a height of 1,000 meters. H
Nikolay [14]
Here, ball is released... and it is in free fall means with zero initial velocity.

We know, s = ut + 1/2 at²
Here, s = 1000 m
u = 0
a = 10 m/s2

Substitute their values, 
1000 = 0 + 1/2 * 10 * t²
2000 = 10 * t²
t² = 2000 /10
t = √200
t = 14.14 s

In short, Your Answer would be 14.14 seconds

Hope this helps!
