Answer:

+1.11\mu C

Explanation:

A charge located at a point will experience a zero electrostatic force if the resultant electric field on it due to any other charge(s) is zero.

Q_1 is located at the origin. The net force on it will only be zero if the resultant electric field intensity due to Q_2 and Q_3 at the origin is equal to zero. Therefore we can perform this solution without necessarily needing the value of Q_1.

Let the electric field intensity due to Q_2 be +E_2 and that due to Q_3 be -E_3 since the charge is negative. Hence at the origin;

+E_2-E_3=0..................(1)

From equation (1) above, we obtain the following;

E_2=E_3.................(2)

From Coulomb's law the following relationship holds;

+E_2=\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}\\  

-E_3=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}

where r_2 is the distance of Q_2 from the origin, r_3 is the distance of Q_3 from the origin and k is the electrostatic constant.

It therefore means that from equation (2) we can write the following;

\frac{kQ_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{kQ_3}{r_3^2}.................(3)

k can cancel out from both side of equation (3), so that we finally obtain the following;

\frac{Q_2}{r_2^2}=\frac{Q_3}{r_3^2}................(4)

Given;

Q_2=?\\r_2=2.5cm=0.025m\\Q_3=-2.18\mu C=-2.18* 10^{-6}C\\r_3=3.5cm=0.035m

Substituting these values into equation (4); we obtain the following;

\frac{Q_2}{0.025^2}=\frac{2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\\\hence;\\\\Q_2=\frac{0.025^2*2.18*10^{-6}}{0.035^2}\\

Q_2=\frac{0.00136*10^{-6}}{0.00123}=1.11*10^{-6}C\\\\Q_3=+1.11\mu C

cluponka [151]

Answer:

0.8 x 10^-9 kg

Explanation:

Given,

Distance ( R ) = 10 m

Force ( F ) = 3.2 x 10^-9 N

Mass ( m1 ) = 40 kg

To find : Mass ( m2 ) = ?

Formula : -

F = m1.m2 / R^2

m2 = FR^2 / m1

= 3.2 x 10^-9 x 10 / 40

= 3.2 x 10^-9 / 4

= ( 3.2 / 4 ) x 10^-9

m2 = 0.8 x 10^-9 kg

The metalcore is the central component of any metal that is covered by wires. Metalcore is found in the X denoted area.

<h3>What is a solenoid?</h3>

A solenoid is a coil of wire that conducts an electric current. A solenoid is an electromagnet made out of a wire or helical coil.

When an electric current is sent through the coil, it produces a magnetic field. A solenoid is a coil that generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it.

When a conductive wire is used to build a loop, a solenoid is formed.

Hence the metalcore is found in the given X area.

To learn more about the solenoid refer to the link ;
