A charge of 3 nC is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius 10 cm that has its center at the origin and its axis along the

x axis. A point charge of 1 nC is located at x = 2.5 m. Find the work required to move the point charge to the origin. Hint: The electric field on the axis was calculated in class (see Example 3 in the the slides for Lecture 16).

Answer:

W=2.592*10^{-7} J

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Charge 3 nC

Radius of ring is 10 cm

A point charge 1 nC

Distance of point charge is 2.5 m

We know that voltage is calculated as

V(0) =\frac{KQ}{r}

      =\frac{(9*10^{-9})(3*10^{-9})}{0.1}

V = 270 V

At x = 2.5m

r = \sqrt{(0.1^2+2.5^2)}

r = 1.581 m

V(2) = \frac{(9*10^9)(3*10^{-9})}{1.581}

V(2) = 10.801 V

Work done is calculated as

W= q(dV)

W = (1*10^{-9})(270 - 10.80)

W=2.592*10^{-7} J

Answer:

GE = ME - \frac{1}{2} m\,v^2,  which agrees with option C in your list.

Explanation:

The definition of Mechanical Energy (ME) of a system is the addition of the gravitational potential energy (GE) plus the kinetic energy (KE) of the system:

ME = GE + KE

Given that the KE is: \frac{1}{2} m\,v^2,

solving for GE in the formula above gives:

GE = ME - KE = ME - \frac{1}{2} m\,v^2,  which agrees with option C

A/An _____ is described as a device used to store electrical energy, usually two conductors separated by an insulator.
Daniel [21]

Answer: A capacitor.

Explanation:

The capacitor is a passive element that is used in electronics to store electrical energy maintaining an electrical field. The simpler case of a capacitor is the parallel plates capacitor.

It consists of two parallel metal plates separated by a distance D, in this case, the air between the plates works as a dielectric, as the plates do not touch each other and are separated by a dielectric, the charge is stored in the surface plates.

There are a lot of other types of capacitors, the most used in actuality may be the cylindrical one, where instead of parallel plates, it uses two concentric cylinders, and the space between the cylinders is filled with a dielectric/insulator.
