Answer:

1 C

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current is defined as

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge transferred

t is the time interval during which the charge is transferred

For the lightning in this problem, we have

I=2.50\cdot 10^4 A is the current

t=40.0 \mu s = 40.0\cdot 10^{-6} s is the time interval

Solving the formula for q, we find the amount of charge transferred:

q=I t = (2.50\cdot 10^4 A)(40.0\cdot 10^{-6}s)=1 C

A total charge of 4.70 is distributed on two metal spheres. When the spheres are 10 cm apart, they each feel a repulsive force o
Anna35 [415]

Answer:0.114 C

Explanation:

Given

Total 4.7 C is distributed in two spheres

Let q_1 and q_2 be the charges such that

q_1+q_2=4.7

and Force between charge particles is given by

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

4.7\times 10^11=\frac{9\times 10^9\times q_1\cdot q_2}{0.1^2}

q_1\cdot q_2=0.522

put the value of q_1

q_2\left ( 4.7-q_2\right )=0.522

q_2^2-4.7q_2+0.522=0

q_2=\frac{4.7\pm \sqrt{4.7^2-4\times 1\times 0.522}}{2}

q_2=0.114 C

thus q_1=4.586 C
