Answer:

The new force will decrease to one sixth the original value.

Explanation:

It is given that,

One charge is decreased to one-third of its original value, and a second charge is decreased to one-half of its original value.

Let, q'_1=\dfrac{1}{3}q_1 q₁ is the charge 1

q'_2=\dfrac{1}{2}q_2 q₂ is the charge 2

Initially, the electrical force between the charges is given by :

F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}...........(1)

Let F' is the new force i.e.

F'=k\dfrac{q'_1q'_2}{r^2}

So,

F'=k\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}q_1\times \dfrac{1}{2}q_2}{r^2}

F'=\dfrac{1}{6}k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

F'=\dfrac{1}{6}F  (from equation 1)

Hence, the new force will decrease to one sixth the original value.

Explain<br> (0) what is meant by regeneration,<br> (ii) why an analogue signal cannot be regenerated
Kamila [148]

Explanation:

<h3>1.) Regeneration is the natural process of replacing or restoring damaged or missing cells, tissues, organs, and even entire body parts to full function in plants and animals.</h3>

2.) When noise is added to analogue signals, it usually sounds like background hiss. Such noise can not be removed so the original clean signal can not be re-created or re-generated.
