Answer:

y = 10.2 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q_1=-3\ nC

It is placed at a distance of 9 cm at x axis

Charge, q_2=+4\ nC

It is placed at a distance of 16 cm at x axis

We need to find the point on the y-axis where the electric potential zero. The net potential on y-axis is equal to 0. So,

\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}+\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}=0

Here,

r_1=\sqrt{y^2+9^2} \\\\r_2=\sqrt{y^2+15^2}

So,

\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{q_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{q_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{-3\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+81} }=-\dfrac{4\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+225} }\\\\3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}

Squaring both sides,

3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}\\\\9(y^2+225)=16\times (y^2+81)\\\\9y^2+2025=16y^2-+1296\\\\2025-1296=7y^2\\\\7y^2=729\\\\y=10.2\ m

So, at a distance of 10.2 m on the y axis the electric potential equals 0.

which instrument is best suited for measuring the dimensions of a shoebox? a)a triple-beam balance b)a volumetric flask c)a rule
Aloiza [94]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. The instrument that is <span>best suited for measuring the dimensions of a shoebox would be a ruler. A triple-beam balance is for measuring mass. A volumetric flask is for volume. A caliper is measuring lengths of small objects.</span>

What subatomic particle acts like a mini-magnet?
Semenov [28]
 The subatomic particles that acts like a mini-magnet is electron. Electrons are negatively charged sub atomic particles in an atom. The electron spin is a property of an electron that makes it behave like it's spinning; a spinning electron produces a magnetic field that makes it behave like a tiny magnet in an atom.
