A charge of 4.5 × 10-5 C is placed in an electric field with a strength of 2.0 × 104 . If the charge is 0.030 m from the source

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The electrical potential energy is 0.027 Joules.

Explanation:

The values from the question are

charge (q) = $4.5 \times 10^{-5} C$

Electric Field strength (E) = $2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C$

Distance from source (d) = 0.030 m

Now the formula for the electrical potential energy (U) is given by

$U = q \times E \times d$

So now insert the values to find the answer

$U = 4.5 \times 10^{-5} C \times 2.0 \times 10^{4} N/C \times 0.030 m$

On further solving

$U = 0.027 J$

Explain how the potential energy of two charged particles depends on the distance between the charged particles and on the magni

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law, the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between the charges. Since the potential energy of two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of the two charges, its magnitude increases as the charges of the particles increases. For like charges, the potential energy is positive(the product of the two alike charges must be positive) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the charges therefore it decreases as the particles get farther apart . For opposite charges, the potential energy is negative(the product of the two opposite charges must be negative) and since potential energy is inversely proportional to the distance between the two charges, it becomes more negative as the particles get closer together.

Two identical charges q placed 2.0 mapart exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other What is the value of the charge q? a) q

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

c) $4.2*10^{-5}C$

Explanation:

Coulomb's law says that the force exerted between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them, and is given by the expression:

$F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$
