Answer:

The net force in the middle particle is zero, and it has no direction.

Explanation:

First, the force that one charge does in other charge is:

F = K*q1*q2/r^2

where k is a constant, q1 and q2 are the charges, and r is the distance between the charges.

If the force is positive, the force is repulsive (pushes away the charge) if the force is negative, is attractive.

Now, we have that the middle charge has a charge of 4.00nC, and in each side at a distance of 4m, has a charge of 4.00nC.

i will write qL as the charge in the left, qR as the charge in the right, and qM as the charge in the middle.

The force that the charge in the right does to the charge in the middle is:

Fr = (k*(4.00nC)^2)/4m^2 = k*(nC/m)^2

And is positive, so this is a repulsive force, this means that if the charge is at the right of the middle charge, then this force pushes the middle charge to the left.

For the left charge we have the same:

Fl = (k*(4.00nC)^2)/4m^2 = k*(nC/m)^2

But in this case, the force pushes the particle to the right, then this force, that is equal in magnitude to the previous force, pushes it in the opposite direction, then the total force in the middle particle is anulated. This is because the two external particles are "pushing" the middle particle with the same force and in the opposite direction.

A 2.5g copper penny is given a charge of -4.0*10^-9c. how mny excess electrons are on the penny?
Lyrx [107]

Answer : The excess of electrons on the penny are, 2.5\times 10^{10} electrons

Solution : Given,

Total charge = -4.0\times 10^{-9}C

Charge on electron = -1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Formula used :

\text{Excess of electrons}=\frac{\text{Total charge}}{\text{Charge of electron}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get the excess of electrons present on the penny.

\text{Excess of electrons}=\frac{\text{Total charge}}{\text{Charge of electron}}=\frac{-4.0\times 10^{-9}C}{-1.6\times 10^{-19}C/e^-}=2.5\times 10^{10}e^-

Therefore, the excess of electrons on the penny are, 2.5\times 10^{10} electrons

What mass of electrons would be required to just neutralize the charge of 4.8 g of protons?
suter [353]
Let's calculate the total charge of M=4.8 g=0.0048 kg of protons.
Each proton has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C, and a mass of m_p = 1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg. So, the number of protons is
N_p =  \frac{M}{m_p}= \frac{0.0048 kg}{1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg}=2.87 \cdot 10^{24} And so the total charge of these protons is Q_p = qN_p = (1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(2.87 \cdot 10^{24})=4.6\cdot 10^5 C

So, the neutralize this charge, we must have N_e electrons such that their total charge is
Q_e = -4.6 \cdot 10^5 C
Since the charge of each electron is q_e = -1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, the number of electrons needed is
N_e =  \frac{Q_e}{q}= \frac{-4.6 \cdot 10^5 C}{-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=2.87 \cdot 10^{24}
which is the same as the number of protons (because proton and electron have same charge magnitude). Since the mass of a single electron is m_e=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg, the total mass of electrons should be
M_e = N_e m_e = (2.87 \cdot 10^{24})(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)=2.6 \cdot 10^{-6}kg
