It's not that hard. Let me explain...

There are two ways to remember this.

The first one is by using the formula for the electric strength (E)

E = k × (Q / r^2) , where:

k is a constant
Q is the "central" charge. The one producing the electric field. <u>Not</u> the one we use to test it.
r is the distance between the charges

As you can see, field's strength is proportional to the magnitude of Q, and inverse proportional to the square of the distance. The field does not care how much you alter the charge you positioned in ot to test it.

Although that is the only way to work out the problem, there are many ways to remember it. Given that i have difficulty in remembering formulas, i always try to derive it from something i know.

By definition: E is equal to the force acted on the test charge, divided by its value.

E = F / q

F --> Coulomb's force
q --> test charge

Since i remember that:

F = k ( Q × q) / r^2

just take out from the expression the q term, since you divided by it, and all it remains is the strength of the field.

In other words, the strength changes as long as something from the expression is altered.

A solenoidal coil with 26 turns of wire is wound tightly around another coil with 350 turns. The inner solenoid is 20.0 cm long

noname [10]

Answer:

Part a)

$\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2$

Part B)

$M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H$

Part C)

$EMF = 0.1 V/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

Magnetic field due to a long ideal solenoid is given by

$B = \mu_0 n i$

n = number of turns per unit length

$n = \frac{N}{L}$

$n = \frac{350}{0.20}$

$n = 1750 turn/m$

now we know that magnetic field due to solenoid is

$B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7})(1750)(0.100)$

$B = 2.2 \times 10^{-4} T$

Now magnetic flux due to this magnetic field is given by

$\phi = B.A$

$\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi r^2)$

$\phi = (2.2 \times 10^{-4})(\pi(0.02)^2)$

$\phi = 2.76 \times 10^{-7} T m^2$

Part B)

Now for mutual inductance we know that

$\phi_{total} = M i$

$\phi_{total} = N\phi$

$\phi_{total} = 20(2.76 \times 10^{-4})$

$\phi_{total} = 5.52 \times 10^{-6}$

now we have

$M = \frac{5.52 \times 10^{-6}}{0.100}$

$M = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} H$

Part C)

As we know that induced EMF is given as

$EMF = M \frac{di}{dt}$

$EMF = 5.52 \times 10^{-5} (1800)$

$EMF = 0.1 V/s$

Sonja [21]

Answer:

L=55.9m

Explanation:

The equation for the period of a simple pendulum is:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

In our case what we know is the period and the acceleration of gravity, and we need to know the length of the pendulum, so we can write:

$L=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2g$

Which for our values is:

$L=(\frac{15s}{2\pi})^2(9.81m/s^2)=55.9m$

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is an experimental law[1] of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force.[2] The law was first discovered in 1785 by French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, hence the name. Coulomb's law was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism, maybe even its starting point,[1] as it made it possible to discuss the quantity of electric charge in a meaningful way.[3]

The law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them,[4]

{\displaystyle F=k_{\text{e}}{\frac {q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}}}{\displaystyle F=k_{\text{e}}{\frac {q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}}}

Here, ke is Coulomb's constant (ke ≈ 8.988×109 N⋅m2⋅C−2),[1] q1 and q2 are the signed magnitudes of the charges, and the scalar r is the distance between the charges.

The force is along the straight line joining the two charges. If the charges have the same sign, the electrostatic force between them is repulsive; if they have different signs, the force between them is attractive.

Being an inverse-square law, the law is analogous to Isaac Newton's inverse-square law of universal gravitation, but gravitational forces are always attractive, while electrostatic forces can be attractive or repulsive.[2] Coulomb's law can be used to derive Gauss's law, and vice versa. In the case of a single stationary point charge, the two laws are equivalent, expressing the same physical law in different ways.[5] The law has been tested extensively, and observations have upheld the law on the scale from 10−16 m to 108 m.[5]

To solve the problem, use Kepler's 3rd law :

T² = 4π²r³ / GM

Solved for r :

r = [GMT² / 4π²]⅓

but first covert 6.00 years to seconds :

6.00years = 6.00years(365days/year)(24.0hours/day)(6...
= 1.89 x 10^8s

The radius of the orbit then is :

r = [(6.67 x 10^-11N∙m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10^30kg)(1.89 x 10^8s)² / 4π²]⅓
= 6.23 x 10^11m
