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.

As we know that two charges exert force on each other when they are placed near to each other
The force between two charges is given as
here we know that
= two different point charges
r = distance between two point charges
also we know that two similar charges always repel each other while two opposite charges always attract each other
so here correct answer would be
<em>A. A positive and negative charge attract each other.</em>
Answer:
1)
When a charge is in motion in a magnetic field, the charge experiences a force of magnitude
where here:
For the proton in this problem:
is the charge of the proton
v = 300 m/s is the speed of the proton
B = 19 T is the magnetic field
is the angle between the directions of v and B
So the force is
2)
The magnetic field produced by a bar magnet has field lines going from the North pole towards the South Pole.
The density of the field lines at any point tells how strong is the magnetic field at that point.
If we observe the field lines around a magnet, we observe that:
- The density of field lines is higher near the Poles
- The density of field lines is lower far from the Poles
Therefore, this means that the magnetic field of a magnet is stronger near the North and South Pole.
3)
The right hand rule gives the direction of the force experienced by a charged particle moving in a magnetic field.
It can be applied as follows:
- Direction of index finger = direction of motion of the charge
- Direction of middle finger = direction of magnetic field
- Direction of thumb = direction of the force (for a negative charge, the direction must be reversed)
In this problem:
- Direction of motion = to the right (index finger)
- Direction of field = downward (middle finger)
- Direction of force = into the screen (thumb)
4)
The radius of a particle moving in a magnetic field is given by:
where here we have:
is the mass of the alpha particle
is the speed of the alpha particle
is the charge of the alpha particle
B = 12.2 T is the strength of the magnetic field
Substituting, we find:
5)
The cyclotron frequency of a charged particle in circular motion in a magnetic field is:
where here:
is the charge of the electron
B = 0.0045 T is the strength of the magnetic field
is the mass of the electron
Substituting, we find:
6)
When a charged particle moves in a magnetic field, its path has a helical shape, because it is the composition of two motions:
1- A uniform motion in a certain direction
2- A circular motion in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field
The second motion is due to the presence of the magnetic force. However, we know that the direction of the magnetic force depends on the sign of the charge: when the sign of the charge is changed, the direction of the force is reversed.
Therefore in this case, when the particle gains the opposite charge, the circular motion 2) changes sign, so the path will remains helical, but it reverses direction.
7)
The electromotive force induced in a conducting loop due to electromagnetic induction is given by Faraday-Newmann-Lenz:
where
N is the number of turns in the loop
is the change in magnetic flux through the loop
is the time elapsed
From the formula, we see that the emf is induced in the loop (and so, a current is also induced) only if , which means only if there is a change in magnetic flux through the loop: this occurs if the magnetic field is changing, or if the area of the loop is changing, or if the angle between the loop and the field is changing.
8)
The flux is calculated as
where
B = 5.5 T is the strength of the magnetic field
A is the area of the coil
is the angle between the direction of the field and the plane of the loop
Here the loop is rectangular with lenght 15 cm and width 8 cm, so the area is
So the flux is
