An electron experiences a force of magnitude F when it is 5 cm from a very long, charged wire with linear charge density, lambda

. If the charge density is doubled, at what distance from the wire will a proton experience a force of the same magnitude F?

Answer:

The  distance of the proton is  r_p    =10 \ cm

Explanation:

Generally the force experience by the electron is mathematically represented as

         F_e  =  \frac{q *  \lambda_e }{ 2 \pi *  \epsilon_o  * r_e}

 Where  \lambda _e is the charge density of the charge wire before it is doubled

         

Also the force experience by the proton is mathematically represented as

         F_p  =  \frac{q *  \lambda_p }{ 2 \pi *  \epsilon_o  * r_p}

Given that the charge density is doubled i.e \lambda_p  =  2 \lambda_e and that the the force are  equal then

      \frac{q *  \lambda_e }{ 2 \pi *  \epsilon_o  * r_e} =   \frac{q *  2 \lambda_e }{ 2 \pi *  \epsilon_o  * r_p}

      \frac{ \lambda_e }{    r_e} =   \frac{  2 \lambda_e }{  r_p}

      r_p  * \lambda_e  =2 \lambda_e * r_e

       r_p    =2 r_e

Now given from the question that  r_e the distance of the electron from the charged wire is  5 cm

 Then  

        r_p    =2 (5)

         r_p    =10 \ cm

What are the reactants of cellular respiration? Check all that apply. carbon dioxide energy glucose oxygen water
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Glucose and Oxygen

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is the process whereby cells derives energy by the use of glucose and oxygen.

Organisms that use cellular respiration to produce their energy are known as heterotophs. They derive the glucose from food materials obtained from plant sources. They use the oxygen from the environment to liberate energy from the glucose obtained from feeding on plant materials.

Cellular respiration can be simply expressed as shown below:

GLUCOSE + OXYGEN → CO₂ + H₂O + ATP

The reactants are glucose and oxygen.

The products are CO₂, water and ATP
