A point charge Q is held at a distance r from the center of a dipole that consists of two charges ±q separated by a distance s.

The dipole is initially oriented so that the charge Q is located in the plane that bisects the dipole. Assume that r>>s
Immediately after the dipole is released:
a. What is the magnitude of the force on the dipole?
b. What is the magnitude of the torque on the dipole?

Answer:

a) the magnitude of the force is

F= Q(\frac{kqs}{r^3}) and where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b)  the magnitude of the torque on the dipole

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²

Explanation:

from coulomb's law

E = \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

where k = 1/4πε₀

the expression of the electric field due to dipole at a distance r is

E(r) = \frac{kp}{r^{3} } , where p = q × s

E(r) = \frac{kqs}{r^{3} } where r>>s

a) find the magnitude of force due to the dipole

F=QE

F= Q(\frac{kqs}{r^3})

where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b) b) magnitude of the torque(τ) on the dipole is dependent on the perpendicular forces

τ = F sinθ × s

θ = 90°

note: sin90° = 1

τ = F × r

recall  F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

∴ τ = (Qqs/4πε₀r³) × r

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

ΔL = L0 C ΔT

We need to find C the constant of expansivity

C = ΔL / (L0 ΔT)

C = .96 / (15.04 * 65) = 9.82 * 10^-4 / deg C

What is light? Makes thing visible?
Alecsey [184]

Yes, light enters your eye and makes things visible. It's only a small portion of the elctromagnetic spectrum. It's called "visible light." What other things does the question want to know? I could go in a describe what light really is but I think itd be unnecessary.

A curved line going up indicates the object is
Vesna [10]

Explanation:

Both graphs show plotted points forming a curved line. Curved lines have changing slope; they may start with a very small slope and begin curving sharply (either upwards or downwards) towards a large slope. In either case, the curved line of changing slope is a sign of accelerated motion (i.e., changing velocity).

What is the direction of the force for a negative charge moving downward in a magnetic field pointing to the left?
velikii [3]

Answer: A

Out of the screen

Explanation:

Using right hand rule, the magnetic force is perpendicular to the plane form by the magnetic field of a charged particle and its speed. Which will be into the screen.

But the negative charged particle moves in the opposite direction of the positive charged particle. Therefore, the magnetic force direction will be out of the screen

A sample of an ideal gas has a volume of 2.37 L at 2.80×102 K and 1.15 atm. Calculate the pressure when the volume is 1.68 L and
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

p_2 = 1.76 atm

Explanation:

given data:

v_1 = 2.37 L

v_2 = 1.68 L

p_1 =1.15 atm

p_2 = ?

t_1 = 280 K

t_2 = 304 K

from Gas Law Equation

, WE HAVE

\frac{p_1 v_1}{t_1} =\frac{p_2 v_2}{t_2}

Putting the values

\frac{1.15*2.37}{280}  =\frac{p_2 *1.68}{304}

9.733*10^{-3} = \frac{p_2 *1.68}{304}

9.733*10^{-3}*304 = p_2*1.68

\frac{9.733*10^{-3}*304}{1.68} =p_2

p_2= 1.76 atm
