Answer:

Electric Field a the centreE=\dfrac{Q}{2\pi^2\epsilon_0 R^2}(-\vec j)

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Total charge on the semicircle =Q

Radius of the semicircle=R

Let consider a elemental charge on the semicircle at an angle \theta\\ with the horizontal. Since the The charge distribution is symmetrical about y axis so the there will symmetrical charge on other side. The horizontal component will cancel out each other and vertical component will get added so let dE be the electric Field due to elemental charge

Let \lambda be the charge per unit length such that\lambda=\dfrac{Q}{\pi R}

k=\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}

Total Electric Field at the centre

=2dE\sin\theta\\=2\dfrac{k\lambda }{R}\int \sin \theta d\theta\\

integrating 0 to \dfrac{\pi}{2}

E=\dfrac{2k\lambda}{R}(-\vec j)

E=\dfrac{Q}{2\pi^2\epsilon_0 R^2}(-\vec j)

So the Electric field at the centre is calculated.

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The  fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is  

      k  = 0.903

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time  constant  \tau  =  3

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- \tau})

Where V_o is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

    So   at  \tau  =  3

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- 3})

     V  =  0.950213 V_o

   Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

             E = \frac{1}{2 } * C  * V ^2

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now  since capacitance is  constant  at  \tau  =  3

        The  energy stored can be evaluated at as

         V^2 =  (0.950213 V_o )^2

       V^2 =  0.903  V_o ^2

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is  

      k  = 0.903

What happens to the electric potential energy of a negatively charged ion as it moves through the water from the negative probe
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

Electric potential energy is the potential energy which is associated with the configuration of points charge in a system and it is the result of conservative coulomb force.

When the negatively charge ion is at the position of the negative probe than its potential energy is positive when it is move towards the positive probe it's potential energy becomes negative due to the negative ion.

Therefore, potential energy is decreases when negative charge ion moves through the water from negative probe to positive probe.

mestny [16]
<span>Answer: sin(incidence)/sin(refraction) = n_refraction/n_incidence sin(50) / sin(x) = 1.5 / 1 sin(50)/1.5 = sin(x) sin(x) = 0.511 x = 30.71o B] 50 degrees, same as the angle going in. You can show that by reversing the steps in A. sin(30.7)/sin(x) = 1/1.5 C] The glass is 5 cm thick. The reference angle = 30.7o Tan(30.7) = displacement / thickness Tan(30.7) = x / 5 5*sin(30.7) = x x = 2.97 cm which is the displacement.</span>
