Answer:

a) E_T=134,484\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}+149954.66\frac{N}{C}\hat{j}

b) zero

Explanation:

a) To find the electric field at point C, you sum the contribution of the electric fields generated by the other two charges. The total electric field at C is given by:

E_T=E_1+E_2

E1: electric field of charge 1

E2: electric field of charge 2

It is necessary to calculate the x and y components of both E1 and E2. You take into account the direction of the fields based on the charge q1 and q2:

E_1=k\frac{q_1}{r_{1,3}}[cos\theta\hat{i}+sin\theta \hat{j}]\\\\E_2=k\frac{q_2}{r_{2,3}}[cos\phi\hat{i}-sin\phi \hat{j}]\\\\

r13: distance between charges 1 and 3

r12: charge between charges 2 and 3

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

Thus, you first calculate the distance r13 and r23, and also the angles:

r_{1,3}=3.00m\\\\r_{2,3}=\sqrt{(3.00m)^2+(4.00m)^2}=5.00m\\\\\theta=90\°\\\\\phi=tan^{-1}(\frac{4.00}{3.00})=53.13\°

Next, you replace the values of all parameters in order to calculate E1 and E2:

E_1=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(\frac{3.30*10^{-4}C}{(3.00m)^2})\hat{j}\\\\E_1=329266.66\frac{N}{C}\\\\E_2=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(\frac{6.24*10^{-4}C}{(5.00m)^2})[cos53.13\°\hat{i}-sin(53.13\°)\hat{j}]\\\\E_2=224140.8[0.6\hat{i}-0.8\hat{j}]=134484\hat{i}-179312\hat{j}

finally, you obtain for ET:

E_T=134,484\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}+(329266.66-179312)\frac{N}{C}\hat{j}\\\\E_T=134,484\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}+149954.66\frac{N}{C}\hat{j}

b) The x component of the force exerted by A on C is zero because there is only a vertial distance between them. Thus, there is only a y component force.

Some superconductors are capable of carrying a very large quantity of current. If the measured current is 1.00 ´ 105 A, how many
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 1 \times 10^{5} A

Charge of electron e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Time t = 1 sec

From the formula of current,

Current is the number of charges flowing per unit time.

   I = \frac{ne}{t}

Where n = number of charges means in our case number of electrons

   n = \frac{It}{e}

   n = \frac{1 \times 10^{5} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} }

   n = 6.25 \times 10^{23}

Therefore, 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Part B  Mica- mylar- paper- quartz

Explanation:

The capacity of a capacitor is given by

           C = ε ε₀ A / d

Where the dielectric constant (ε) is the value of the material between the plates of the capacitor, we see that as if value increases the capacity also increases.

Another magnitude that we must take into account that the maximum working voltage, the greater the safer is the capacitor

the flexibility of the material must also be taken into account

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Pate B order the materials from best to worst

Mica. The best ever

Mylar Flexible

Paper Low capacity, low working voltage, flexible

Quartz high dielectric, but brittle
