What is epsilon zero and why does it come into use, particularly in the case of Gauss's Law?

1 answer:

5 0

<span>Epsilon zero is permittivity of free space means how much air or vacuum permits electric field to travel from one charge to other.It is constant in the coulomb law. This allow Gauss's a lot easier to solve rather than using K</span>

kramer

The flow of Direct current (DC) is constant and flows in one direction. Most digital electronics make use of DC. Alternating current (AC) periodically flows in reverse and is mostly used to deliver power to houses, buildings and the like. With that alone, you can already rule out A, C and D.

The answer would then be B. constant, periodically reversing.

When the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them?

Llana [10]

If the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them increases by a factor 4.

In fact, the magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by:
$F= k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Therefore, if the radius is halved:
$r'= \frac{r}{2}$
the magnitude of the force changes as follows:
$F'=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r'^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{( \frac{r}{2})^2 }=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{ \frac{r^2}{4} } =4k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=4 F$
so, the force increases by a factor 4.

17 copper wires of length l and diameter d are connected in parallel to form a single composite conductor of resistance R. What

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$\frac{D}{d} = 4.12$

Explanation:

As we know that resistance of one copper wire is given as

$r = \rho \frac{L}{a}$

here we know that

$a = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^2$

now we have

$r = \rho \frac{L}{\pi (\frac{d^2}{4})}$

$r = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi d^2}$

now we know that such 17 resistors are connected in parallel so we have

$R = \frac{r}{17}$

$R = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}$

Now if a single copper wire has same resistance then its diameter is D and it is given as

$R = \rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2}$

now from above two equations we have

$\rho \frac{4L}{\pi D^2} = \rho \frac{4L}{17 \pi d^2}$

$D^2 = 17 d^2$

now we have

$\frac{D}{d} = 4.12$

Consider a double slit experiment in the air. The wavelength of light is 500nm light, the screen is 1m away and two adjacent bri

Bess [88]

Answer: $0.75\ cm$

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of light $\lambda=500\ nm$

Screen is $D=1\ m$ away

Distance between two adjacent bright fringe is $\Delta y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

When same experiment done in water, wavelength reduce to $\dfrac{\lambda }{\mu}$

So, the distance between the two adjacent bright fringe is $\Delta y'=\dfrac{\lambda D}{\mu d}$

Keeping other factor same, distance becomes

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\frac{4}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\quad \text{Refractive index of water is }\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.75\ cm$

When driving straight down the highway at a constant velocity you have to give the engine a little gas (which means an added ext

Alona [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

This does not violate Newton's 1st law because the net force would still be 0 in order to produce uniform motion (aka constant velocity). The other forces acting on the vehicles is air resistance which is non-zero. So we need car internal force to counter balance this force, which require extra gas for the car.
