What specific structures are in electroreceptors?

1 answer:

7 0

Electroreception is limited to aquatic environments because on here is the resistivity of the medium is low enough for electric currents to be generated as the result of electric fields of biological origin. In air, the resistivity of the environment is so high that electric fields from biological sources do not generate a significant electric current. Electroreceptor are found in a number of species of fish, and in at least one species of mammal, the Duck-Billed platypus.

If an exit sign is hanging from the ceiling by three chains each of which has a tension of 15N what is the weight of the sign

kvasek [131]

The weight is 45 N, because the three chains hold the sign, and each contributes 15 N.

Notice that the mass would be the weight/acceleration of gravity, m = 45/9.8 kg. But they ask the weight (force, so Newtons)

A -3.00 nc point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.50 nc point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. find the electric

Liula [17]

The electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by

$E(r)=k\frac{q}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

To find the electric field at x=0.200 m, we need to find the electric field produced by each charge at that point, and then find their resultant.

1) The first charge is $q=-3.00 nC=-3.00 \cdot 10^{-9} C$ , and it is located at x=0, so its distance from the point x=0.200 m is

$r=0.200 m-0=0.2 m$

Therefore, the electric field is

$E_1=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(3.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.2 m)^2}=675 N/C$

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward negative x direction.

2) The second charge is $q=-5.50 nC=-5.5 \cdot 10^{-9}C$ and it is located at x=0.800 m, so its distance from the point is

$r=0.800 m-0.200 m=0.6 m$

Therefore, the electric field is

$E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(5.5 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.6 m)^2}=137.5 N$

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward positive x-direction.

3) The total electric field at x=0.200 m will be given by the difference between the two fields (because they are in opposite directions). Taking the x-positive direction as positive direction, we have

$E=E_2 -E_1 =137.5 N/C/C-675 N/C=-537.5 N/C$

and the sign tells us that the field is directed toward negative x-direction.
