The electric field at the point x=5.00cm and y=0 points in the positive x direction with a magnitude of 10.0 N/C . At the point

x=10.0cm and y=0 the electric field points in the positive x direction with a magnitude of 17.0 N/C . Assume this electric field is produced by a single point charge. Part AFind the charge's location.Part BFind the magnitude of the charge.

Answer:

(A). The location of the charge is 26.45 cm.

(B). The magnitude of the charge is 51.1 pC.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance in x axis = 5.00 cm

Electric field = 10.0 N/C

Distance in x axis = 10.0 cm

Electric field = 17.0 N/C

Since, q is the same charge, two formulas can be set equal using the two different electric fields.

(a). We need to calculate the location of the charge

Using formula of force

F = qE....(I)

Using formula of electric force

F =\dfrac{kq^2}{d^2}....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

qE=\dfrac{kq^2}{d^2}

E=\dfrac{kq}{d^2}

q=\dfrac{E(x-r)^2}{k}...(III)

For both points,

\dfrac{E(x-r)^2}{k}=\dfrac{E(x-r)^2}{k}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{10.0\times(x-5.00)^2}{k}=\dfrac{17.0\times(x-10.0)^2}{k}

10.0\times(x-5.0)^2=17.0\times(x-10.0)^2

Take the square root of both sides

3.162(x-5.0)=4.123(x-10.0)

3.162x-3.162\times5.0=4.123x-4.123\times10.0

3.162x-4.123x=-4.123\times10.0+3.162\times5.0

0.961x=25.42

x=\dfrac{25.42}{0.961}

x=26.45\ cm

(B). We need to calculate the charge

Using equation (III)

q=\dfrac{E(x-r)^2}{k}

Put the value into the formula

q=\dfrac{10.0(26.45\times10^{-2}-5.00\times10^{-2})^2}{9\times10^{9}}

q=5.11\times10^{-11}\ C

q=51.1\ pC

Hence, (A). The location of the charge is 26.45 cm.

(B). The magnitude of the charge is 51.1 pC.

An element carries a_____charge<br>​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The charge of an element is equal to the number of protons minus the number of electrons. The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of the element given in the periodic table. The number of electrons is equal to the atomic number minus the charge of the atom.

When 1,250^3/4 is written in simplest radical form, which value remains under the radical?
GaryK [48]

Answer:

125\sqrt[4]{8}

Explanation:

A number of the form

a^{\frac{m}{n}}

can be re-written in the radical form as follows:

\sqrt[n]{a^m}

In this problem, we have:

a = 1,250

m = 3

n = 4

So, if we apply the formula, we get

1,250^{\frac{3}{4}}=\sqrt[4]{(1,250)^3}

Then, we can rewrite 1250 as

1250 = 2\cdot 5^4

So we can rewrite the expression as

=\sqrt[4]{(2\cdot 5^4)^3}=5^3 \sqrt[4]{2^3}=125\sqrt[4]{8}

A soap bubble usually pops because some part of it becomes too thin due to evaporation or drainage of fluid. The change in thick
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

To understand why the change in thickness also changes the color of light the bubble reflects, we definitely know that

mλ = dsinθ

when d sin θ = mλ, we expect constructive interference

d = distance between the slits

θ = the angle relative to the incident direction

m = order of the interference

Hence, a change in the thickness will also cause a change in the wavelength, and as wavelength changes, various colors are generated.

The light's path difference is therefore generated as a result of the thickness variation of the soap bubble.
