Answer:

Part a: The electric potential of each sphere is 1.35x10⁸V

Part b: The electric field at the surface of sphere 1 and 2 is 2.25x10⁹ N/C and 6.75x10⁹ N/C respectively

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given, the similar question is attached herewith. The values are used as indicated in the given question

Let r_1 = 6 cm=0.06 m

r2 = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Q = 1.2 mC

Let q1 and q2 are the charges on each sphere.

q1 + q2 = 1.2 mC -------(1)

In the equilibrium, V1 = V2

k*q1/r1 = k*q2/r2

q1/0.06 = q2/0.02

q1/q2 = 0.06/0.02

q1/q2 = 3 ---------(2)

On solving equation 1 and 2

we get

q1 = 0.9 mC

q2 = 0.3 mC

So

V1 = k*q1/r1 = (9*10^9*0.9*10^-3)/0.06 = 1.35*10^8 Volts

V2 = k*q2/r2 = 9*10^9*0.3*10^-3/0.02 = 1.35*10^8 Volts

So the electric potential of each sphere is 1.35x10⁸V

Part b

Now the electric potential is given as

E1 = k*q1/r1^2 = 9*10^9*0.9*10^-3/0.06^2 = 2.25*10^9 N/C

E2 = k*q2/r2 = 9*10^9*0.3*10^-3/0.02^2 = 6.75*10^9 N/C

So the electric field at the surface of sphere 1 and 2 is 2.25x10⁹ N/C and 6.75x10⁹ N/C respectively

Does a stick of dynamite contain force?
I am Lyosha [343]

No.  Force isn't something you can enclose in a box, an envelope,
or a bottle.

A stick of dynamite contains some amount of a chemical compound which,
when triggered by enough heat or shock, undergoes a chemical reaction
that proceeds very rapidly, and generates a large quantity of gases before
the gases can dissipate.  This creates very high pressure around the reaction,
and it's this pressure in a small volume that exerts great force for a very short
time.     The whole process is often described as an "explosion".

Provide at least three reasons why friction is needed.
Anarel [89]
Without friction, we would not be able to stop walking since we would just keep slipping like on ice.

Without friction, objects would just slip and fall with a simple blow of air

And finally without friction we wouldn't be able to use machinery like cars and etc since they would just fly off

Why does glass expands before water?
shtirl [24]
Because glass have molecules that are more closely packed together than water therefore when gaining heat the glass would gain heat faster and therefore exapand faster.

A resistor R, inductor L, and capacitor C are connected in series to an AC source of rms voltage ΔV and variable frequency. If t
Alexandra [31]

Answer:E=\frac{\pi R\left ( \Delta V\right )^2\sqrt{LC}}{\left ( R^2+\frac{9}{4}\left (\frac{L}{C} \right )\right )}

Explanation:

We know resonant frequency is given by

\omega_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}

and the operating frequency is given by

\omega =2\omega_0=\frac{2}{\sqrt{LC}}

The capacitance reactance is given by

X_c=\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{\sqrt{LC}}{2C}=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}

inductive reactance is given by

X_L=\omega L=\left ( \frac{2}{\sqrt{LC}}\right )L=2\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}

Thus impedance is

Z=\left ( R^2+\left (X_L-X_C \right )^2 \right )^\frac{1}{2}

Z=\left ( R^2+\left (2\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}-\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\frac{L}{C}} \right )^2 \right )^\frac{1}{2}

Z=\left ( R^2+\frac{9}{4}\left ( \frac{L}{C} \right ) \right )^\frac{1}{2}

The average power delivered is

P_{avg.}=\frac{\Delta V^2}{Z}cos\phi =\frac{\left ( \Delta V\right )^2}{Z}\left (\frac{R}{Z} \right )

P_{avg.}=\frac{\left (\Delta V \right )^2R}{\left ( R^2+\frac{9}{4}\left (\frac{L}{C} \right )\right )}

Energy Delivered in one cycle is given by

E=P_{avg}T

E=\frac{\left (\Delta V \right )^2R}{\left ( R^2+\frac{9}{4}\left (\frac{L}{C} \right )\right )}\left ( \frac{2\pi }{\frac{2}{\sqrt{LC}}}\right )

E=\frac{\pi R\left ( \Delta V\right )^2\sqrt{LC}}{\left ( R^2+\frac{9}{4}\left (\frac{L}{C} \right )\right )}
