Two rings of radius 5 cm are 20 cm apart and concentric with a common horizontal x-axis. The ring on the left carries a uniforml

y distributed charge of +30 nC, and the ring on the right carries a uniformly distributed charge of −30 nC. What is the electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings?

Answer:

The electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings is $2.41\times10^{3}\ V/m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of first ring = 5 cm

Radius of second ring = 20 cm

Charge on the left of the ring = +30 nC

Charge on the right of the ring = -30 nC

We need to calculate the electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\times\dfrac{qx}{(x^2+R^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times30\times10^{-9}\times0.1}{((0.1)^2+(0.2)^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E=2.41\times10^{3}\ V/m$

Hence, The electric field due to the right ring at a location midway between the two rings is $2.41\times10^{3}\ V/m$

A tank holds a 1.44-m thick layer of oil that floats on a 0.98-m thick layer of brine. Both liquids are clear and do not intermi

Answer:

Angle of ray makes with the vertical is 62.1 degree

Explanation:

As per the ray diagram we know that the angle of incidence on oil brine interface will be given as

$tan\theta_i = \frac{0.7}{0.98}$

$\theta_i = 35.5^0$

now by Snell'a law at that interface we have

$\mu_1 sin\theta_i = \mu_2 sin \theta_r$

now we will have

$1.52 sin35.5 = 1.40 sin\theta_r$

$\theta_r = 39.12^0$

now this is the angle of incidence for oil air interface

so now again by Snell's law we will have

$\mu_2 sin\theta_i' = \mu_{air} sin\theta$

$1.40 sin39.12 = 1 sin\theta$

$\theta = 62.1^0$

A light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year. If the sun is 1.5 x 10⁸ km away, how many light years is the sun

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

0.00001581 light years

Explanation:

distance divided by speed of light= 150,000,000/300,000= 500 seconds 8.3333

8.3 minutes

now divide this by 60 x 24 x 365.25. so you will get answer=

.000015823 light years.

What is the giant impact hypothesis for the origin of the moon?

tia_tia [17]

The big impact theory is the most widely accepted scientific theory to explain the formation of the moon, which it posits that it originated as a result of a collision between the young earth and a protoplanet the size of Mars, which is called Tea or occasionally orphheus. or orpheus

A long, straight wire carries a current of 5.20 A. An electron is traveling in the vicinity of the wire. Part A) At the instant

Gre4nikov [31]

A) $2.2\cdot 10^{-19} N$

The strength of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying wire is given by

$B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

I is the current in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

In this situation,

I = 5.20 A

r = 4.60 cm = 0.046 m is the distance of the electron from the wire

Therefore the magnetic field strength at the electron's location is

$B=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^7)(5.20)}{2\pi (0.046}=2.26\cdot 10^{-5} T$

The force exerted on a charged moving particle travelling perpendicular to a magnetic field is given by

$F=qvB$

where

q is the magnitude of the charge of the particle

v is its velocity

B is the magnetic flux density

For the electron of this problem,

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge

$v=6.10\cdot 10^4 m/s$ is the speed

$B=2.26\cdot 10^{-5} T$ is the magnetic field

Substituting,

$F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(6.10\cdot 10^4)(2.26\cdot 10^{-5})=2.2\cdot 10^{-19} N$

B) Same direction as the current in the wire

First of all we have to find the direction of the magnetic field lines, which are concentric around the wire. Assuming the wire carries a current pointing upward, then if we use the right-hand rule:

- The thumb gives the direction of the current -> upward

- The other fingers wrapped give the direction of the field lines -> anticlockwise around the wire (as seen from top)

Now the direction of the force can be found by using the right-hand rule. We have:

- direction of the index finger = direction of motion of the electron (toward the wire, let's assume from east to west)

- middle finger = direction of the magnetic field (to the north)

- Thumb = direction of the force --> downward

However, the electron carries a negative charge, so we must reverse the direction of the force: therefore, the force experienced by the electron will be upward, so in the same direction as the current in the wire.
