As we know that electrostatic force between two charges is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that electrostatic repulsion force is balanced by the gravitational force between them

so here force of attraction due to gravitation is given as

F_g = 1.98 \times 10^{20} N

here we can assume that both will have equal charge of magnitude "q"

now we have

1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}

1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(q^2)}{(3.84 \times 10^8)^2}

1.98 \times 10^{20} = (6.10 \times 10^{-8}) q^2

now we have

q = 5.7 \times 10^{13} C

Two high-current transmission lines carry currents of 29.0 A and 78.0 A in the same direction and are suspended parallel to each
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

I_1=29 A

I_2=78 A

d=38 cm=\frac{38}{100}=0.38 m

1 m=100 cm

a.Length of segment,l=20 m

Magnetic force ,F=\frac{2\mu_0I_1I_2 l}{4\pi d}

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}=10^{-7}

Substitute the values

F=\frac{10^{-7}\times 29\times 78\times 20}{0.38}=0.0119 N

Hence, the magnetic force exert by each segment on the other=0.0119 N

b.We know that when current carrying in the wires are in same direction then the force will attract to each other.

Hence, the force will be attractive.

Given that an electric field of 3×106V/m3×106V/m is required to produce an electrical spark within a volume of air, estimate the
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Length, l = 33.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrical field, E=3\times 10^6\ V/m

Let the electrical potential is, V=10^8\ V

We need to find the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt. The relation between electric field and the electric potential is given by :

V=E\times d\\\\d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{10^8}{3\times 10^6}\\\\d=33.4\ m

So, the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

A positively charged object is brought near but not in contact with the top of an uncharged gold leaf electroscope. The experime
Olin [163]

Answer:

The leaves of the electroscope move further apart.

Explanation:

This is what happens; when the positive object is brought near the top, negative charges migrating from the gold leaves to the top. This is because the negative charges in the gold are attracted by the positive charge. Thus, it leaves behind a net positive charge on the leaves, though the scope remains neutral overall. To that effect, the leaves repel each other and move apart. If a finger touches the top of the electroscope at the moment when the positive object remains near the top, it basically grounds the electroscope and thus the net positive charge in the leaves flows to the ground through the finger. However, the positive object continues to "hold" negative charges in place at the top. Ar this moment the gold leaves have lost their net positive charge, so they no longer repel, and they move closer together. If the positive object is moved away, the negative charges at the top are no longer attracted to the top, and they redistribute themselves throughout the electroscope, moving into the leaves and charging them negatively.

Thus, the leaves move apart from each other again and we now have a negatively charged electroscope. If a negatively charged object is now brought close to the top, but without touching, the negative charges already in the electroscope will be repelled down toward the leaves, thereby making them more negative, causing them to repel more, and hence move even further apart.

So, the leaves move further apart.
