Answer:

Yes electric field between the line joining may be zero when both the charges are of opposite magnitude

Explanation:

Electric field due to a point charge is given by $E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q}{r^2}$

From the relation of magnitude of electric field we can see that magnitude of electric field depends upon the m,magnitude of charge and distance between them

So electric field between the line joining may be zero when both charges are of opposite magnitude ( Means if one charge is positive then other is negative )

Shrinking Loop. A circular loop of flexible iron wire has an initial circumference of 168 cm , but its circumference is decreasi

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

103.1 V

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial circumference=C=168 cm

$\frac{dC}{dt}=-15cm/s$

Magnetic field,B=0.9 T

We have to find the magnitude of the emf induced in the loop after exactly time 8 s has passed since the circumference of the loop started to decrease.

Magnetic flux= $\phi=BA=B(\pi r^2)$

Circumference,C= $2\pi r$

$r=\frac{C}{2\pi}$

$r=\frac{168}{2\pi}$ cm

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\pi}\frac{dC}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\pi}(-15)=-\frac{15}{2\pi} cm/s$

$\int dr=-\int \frac{15}{2\pi}dt$

$r=-\frac{15}{2\pi}t+C$

When t=0

$r=\frac{168}{2\pi}$

$\frac{168}{2\pi}=C$

$r=-\frac{15}{2\pi}t+\frac{168}{2\pi}$

E= $-\frac{d\phi}{dt}=-\frac{d(B\pi r^2)}{dt}=-2\pi rB\frac{dr}{dt}$

$E=-2\pi(-\frac{5}{2\pi}t+\frac{168}{2\pi})B\times -\frac{15}{2\pi}$

t=8 s

B=0.9

$E=2\pi\times \frac{15}{2\pi}\times 0.9(-\frac{15}{2\pi}(8)+\frac{168}{2\pi})$

$E=103.1 V$

Choose a substance you're familiar with. what are its physical and chemical properties? How would you measure its density? What

Gekata [30.6K]

you can look at magnesium, it can react with oxygen to form oxides. (chemical) it is malleable and a solid at room temperature. (physical)

to measure its density, the mass and volume can be worked out and from this density too. look up the equation, it is quite easy :)
physical changes -- it can be melted, and oxidized

the chemical changes of oxidation magnesium looses electrons to form oxides, this is a chemical reaction- chemical change..--- use to get the density use (rho) or density D = M/V

What are three ways to speed up a reaction?

Ksju [112]

Explanation:

Increase the temperature in Endothermic reactions (Reactions that absorb energy, or become cold) Decrease the temperature in Exothermic reactions (Reactions that release energy, or become hot) Add a catalyst (A substance that reduces activation energy, speeding up the reaction) Increase the concentration of reactants.
