An electric discharge is the release and transmission of electricity in an applied electric field through a medium such as a gas. Several types of electric discharges occur naturally on Earth (American Geophysical Union, 1986):

A point charge with charge q1 = 4.00 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with charge q2 = -4.40 μC moves

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

W=0.94J

Explanation:

Electrostatic potential energy is the energy that results from the position of a charge in an electric field. Therefore, the work done to move a charge from point 1 to point 2 will be the change in electrostatic potential energy between point 1 and point 2.

This energy is given by:

$U=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r}\\$

So, the work done to move the chargue is:

$W=U_1-U_2\\W=\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_1}-\frac{K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |}{r_2}\\r_1=\sqrt{((0.155 m)^2+0 m)^2}=0.115m\\r_2=\sqrt{((0.245 m)^2+(0.270 m)^2}=0.365m\\W=K\left |q_1 \right |\left |q_2 \right |(\frac{1}{r_1}-\frac{1}{r_2})\\W=8.99*10^9\frac{Nm^2}{c^2}(4.00*10^{-6}C)(4.40*10^{-6}C)(\frac{1}{0.115m}-\frac{1}{0.365})\\W=0.94J$

The work is positive since the potential energy in 1 is greater than 2.

An elevator has a mass of 1000 Kg. What force is needed to accelerate it upward at a rate of 2 m/s/s?

zubka84 [21]

The force needed to accelerate an elevator upward at a rate of $2 m / s^{2}$ is 2000 N or 2 kN.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As per Newton's second law of motion, an object's acceleration is directly proportional to the external unbalanced force acting on it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

As the object given here is an elevator with mass 1000 kg and the acceleration is given as $2 m / s^{2}$ , the force needed to accelerate it can be obtained by taking the product of mass and acceleration.

$\text {Force}=\text {Mass} \times \text {Acceleration}$

$\text { Force }=1000 \times 2=2000 \mathrm{N}=2 \text { kilo Newon }$

So 2000 N or 2 kN amount of force is needed to accelerate the elevator upward at a rate of $2 m / s^{2}$ .

the total positive charge is QQQ = 1.62×10−6 CC , what is the magnitude of the electric field caused by this charge at point P,

balu736 [363]

Answer:

6.1 × 10^9 Nm-1

Explanation:

The electric field is given by

E= Kq/d^2

Where;

K= Coulombs constant = 9.0 × 10^9 C

q = magnitude of charge = 1.62×10−6 C

d = distance of separation = 1.53 mm = 1.55 × 10^-3 m

E= 9.0 × 10^9 × 1.62×10−6/(1.55 × 10^-3 )^2

E= 14.58 × 10^3/2.4 × 10^-6

E= 6.1 × 10^9 Nm-1

16. Two capacitors have an equivalent

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

C1 + C2 = 30 parallel connection

C1 * C2 / (C1 + C2) = 7.2 series connection

C1 * C2 = 7.2 * (C1 + C2) = 216

C2 + 216 / C2 = 30 using first equation

C2^2 + 216 = 30 C2

C2^2 - 30 C2 + 216 = 0

C2 = 12 or 18 solving the quadratic

Then C1 = 18 or 12
