To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 22.1 for electric force problems. Two charged particles, with charges q1=qq1=q and q2=4qq2=

4q, are located on the x axis separated by a distance of 2.00cm2.00cm . A third charged particle, with charge q3=qq3=q, is placed on the x axis such that the magnitude of the force that charge 1 exerts on charge 3 is equal to the force that charge 2 exerts on charge 3.Find the position of charge 3 when qqq = 2.00 nCnC .

Answer:

x₂ = 0.01336

Explanation:

In this exercise we use the translational equilibrium equation

          F₁₃ - F₂₃ = 0

          F₁₃ = F₂₃

at the point where charge 3 is placed the two electric forces have the same magnitude

let us use the expression of Coulomb's law for the electric force

         F₁₃ = ka q₁ q₃ / r₁₃²

         F₂₃ = ka q₂ q₃ / r₂₃²

we substitute

         k q₁ q₃ / r₁₃² = k q₂ q₃ / r₂₃²

now imprescriptibility suppose that particle 1 is at the origin of the coordinate system, particle 2 is at a distance d = 2.00cm = 2 10-2 m, therefore let's call the distance from particle 1 to particle 3 as x

            r₁₃ = x

            R₂₃ = d-x

In the exercise we are given the charges for the particle1 q1 = q, for the particle 2 the charge is q2 = 4q the distance between them is d = 2.00cm = 0.0200 m, the value of q = 2.00 nC = 2.00 10⁻⁹ C

let's substitute these values

              q₁ / x₂ = q₂ / (d-x)²

let's clear x

              (d-x)² = q₂ / q₁    x²

              d² - 2dx + x₂ = q₂ /q₁   x²

               x² (1-q₂ / q₁) - 2d x + d² = 0

               

let's substitute the values ​​and solve the quadratic equation

              x² (1 - 4q / q) - 2 0.02 x + 0.02² = 0

              -3 x² - 0.04 x + 0.0004 = 0

               

                x² + 0.0133 x - 0.0001333 = 0

               x = [-0.0133 ±√(0.0133² + 4 0.00013333)] / 2

                x = [-0.0133 + - 0.026664] /2

              x₁ = -0.01998 m

              x₂ = 0.01336 m

Since load 3 must be between charged 1 and 2 the correct answer is

x₂ = 0.01336

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Option 5.

Explanation:

Many of the properties of water like high specific heat, cohesion, high vaporization heat, etc can be contributed to the polar nature of water molecule.

Water being a polar molecule as it contains positively charged hydrogen and an electro-negative oxygen which results in uneven or non uniformity in sharing of electrons which leads to dipole formation and hence polarization of the molecule due to which it attracts its neighboring molecules.

This polar nature imparts the properties like cohesion, surface tension , adhesion, etc due to the presence of hydrogen bonds in water molecule.
