A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At

a point P that is 1.25 cm outside the sheet, the magnitude of the electric field due to the sheet is E. If the sheet is now stretched so that its sides have length 2 d, what is the magnitude of the electric field at P

The electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

E is the electric field, σ is the surface charge density, and ε₀ is the electric constant.

To determine σ:

σ = Q/A

Where Q is the total charge of the sheet and A is the sheet's area. The sheet is a square with a side length d, so A = d²:

σ = Q/d²

Make this substitution in the equation for E:

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

We see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d:

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. Now we double the side length of the sheet while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet. By the relationship of E with d, the electric field at P must now have a quarter of its original magnitude:

E_{new} = E/4

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Your answer is D It does not need to be repeatable.

the reason for this is because C is correct.

You need to be able to experiment on something multiple times so that you can gather further data to imbedded your evidence in facts.

“Is it correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave?
klio [65]

It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave.  Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves.  The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have.  But they're both the same physical phenomenon.

However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave.  These two things are as different as two waves can be.

-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.

-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.

-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.

-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.

-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.
