Answer:

200\times 10^{-6}j

Explanation:

We have given the radius of first sphere is 10 cm and radius of second sphere is 20 cm

So the potential of first sphere will be greater than the potential of the second sphere, so charge will flow from first sphere to second sphere

Let q charge is flow from first sphere to second sphere and then potential become same

So V=\frac{K(100-q)}{r_1}=\frac{K\times 100}{r_2}

200-100=2q+q

q=\frac{100}{3}=33.33nC

So V=\frac{K(100-q)}{r_1}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times (100-33.33)\times 10^{-9}}{10\times 10^{-2}}=6003V

We know that potential energy U=qV=33.33\times 10^{-9}\times 6003=200\times 10^{-6}j

Answer:

The electric potential energy between the two charged spheres is 199.9\times10^{-6}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of first sphere R_{1}=10\ cm

Radius of second sphere R_{2}=10\ cm

Charge Q= 100 nC

We know charge flows through higher potential to lower potential.

Using formula of potential

V=\dfrac{k(Q-q)}{R_{1}}...(I)

V=\dfrac{k(Q+q)}{R_{2}}...(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

\dfrac{k(Q-q)}{R_{1}}=\dfrac{k(Q+q)}{R_{2}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{(100-q)}{10\times10^{2}}=\dfrac{(100+q)}{20\times10^{-2}}

(100-q)\times20\times10^{-2}=(100+q)\times10\times10^{-2}

q=\dfrac{1000}{30}

q=\dfrac{100}{3}

q=33.33\ nC

So, the potential at R₁ and R₂

Using formula of potential

V=\dfrac{k(Q-q)}{R_{1}}

Put the value into the formula

V=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}(100-33.33)\times10^{-9}}{10\times10^{-2}}

V=6000.3\ Volt

We need to calculate the electric potential energy between the two charged spheres

Using formula of  the electric potential energy

U=qV

U=33.33\times10^{-9}\times6.0003\times10^{3}

U=199.9\times10^{-6}\ J

Hence, The electric potential energy between the two charged spheres is 199.9\times10^{-6}\ J

 r with the tail wind = speed of the plane + wind speed = s + w
 t with the head wind = 7.5 hr
 r with the head wind = speed of the plane - wind speed = s-w

What is voltage, and what is its relationship to amperage and power?
ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

Amperage is the unit of electric current. It describes the strength of the electric current in a circuit.

The voltage is the driving force of the current in a circuit

Power is a function of voltage and current in the circuit.

   Current is designate as I

    Voltage as V

    Power as P

  I = \frac{V}{R}

Where R is the resistance to flow of electricity

        P = I x V = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

The unit of power is watts and voltage is volts

Which of these would best describe the outcome of increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules in the above picture?
Lyrx [107]

A) The temperature will increase.

Kinetic energy is the intrinsic energy carried by an object in motion.

Explanation:

Increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules means that molecules rapidly. This causes an increased rate of collision between the molecules and between the molecules and the walls of the container. Most of these collisions are inelastic meaning that some of the energy in the collisions is lost as heat energy to the environment. This means the system becomes hotter.
