Difference between discrete and continuous charge distribution?

Physics

Discrete systems are those systems in which are made up of finite component particles a which are non-homogeneously arranged such that no smooth variation exists. It is such that all constituent particles have properties which vary randomly. They are direct opposite to continuous systems, which are smooth arrangement of particles which cannot be individually taken into consideration.

Interesting question. I think it's a question of scale. After all, charge is "discrete" or "quantised" into electronic charges.
So, relatively few of them - eg in an atom - would be discrete.
A lot of them - eg in an electric current - would be "continuous" (or an avalanche of discretes = a continuum ... )

Two protons (each with q = 1.60 x 10-19)
otez555 [7]

Answer:

230.4 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge (q) of each protons = 1.6×10¯¹⁹ C

Distance apart (r) = 1×10¯¹⁵ m

Force (F) =?

NOTE: Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

The force exerted can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × (1.6×10¯¹⁹)² / (1×10¯¹⁵)²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2.56×10¯³⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 2.304×10¯²⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 230.4 N

Therefore, the force exerted is 230.4 N

A 500 500500- kg kgstart text, k, g, end text object is accelerating to the right at 10 cm / s 2 10 cm/s 2 10, start text, space
enyata [817]

Given Information:

Mass = m = 500 kg

Acceleration = a = 10 cm/s²

Required Information:

Magnitude of rightward net force = F = ?

Answer:

Magnitude of rightward net force = 50 N

Explanation:

From the Newton's second law of motion

F = ma

Where m is the mass and a is the acceleration

To get force in Newtons first convert 10 cm/s² into m/s²

10/100 = 0.1 m/s²

F = 500*0.1

F = 50 N

Therefore, the magnitude of rightward net force acting on it is 50 Newtons.

What is the purpose of each of the components (each shown with leader and line) of the circuit shown is the diagram?
NemiM [27]

The wires is what is needed to put together the whole thing, kinda like glue when you're gluing a piece of paper on it.

Anyways, the battery is the main source and main energy per say.

That energy that comes from the battery, thanks to the wires, it can transfer that said energy to both the switch and light bulb.

And as you flick the switch, it depends of how you put it together, there's two options, turning the light bulb on or turning it off.

Though it doesn't mean that since the light bulb is connected to the battery makes the bulb turn on no matter what since the switch can cancel the main source's energy.
