Two point charges attract each other with an electric force of magnitude F.a. If one charge is reduced to one-third its original

value and the distance between the charges is doubled, what is the resulting magnitude of the electric force between them?b. If one charge is reduced to one-fourth its original value, how should the distance between the two charges change such that the force F remains constant?

Answer:

a. F'=\frac{1}{12}F

b. d'=\frac{d}{2}

Explanation:

a. The magnitude of the electric force is given by the Coulomb's law:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

In this case, we have q_1'=\frac{q_1}{3} and d'=2d:

F'=\frac{kq_1'q_2}{d'^2}\\F'=\frac{k(\frac{q_1}{3})q_2}{(2d)^2}\\F'=\frac{kq_1q_2}{3*4d^2}\\F'=\frac{1}{12}\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\F'=\frac{1}{12}F

b. In this case, we have q_1'=\frac{q_1}{4}:

F=\frac{kq_1'q_2}{d'^2}\\\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}=\frac{k(\frac{q_1}{4})q_2}{d'^2}\\\frac{1}{d^2}=\frac{1}{4d'^2}\\d'^2=\frac{d^2}{4}\\d'=\frac{d}{2}

1hp is written in electric motor what does it mean​
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Explanation:

The horsepower (hp) is a unit in the foot-pound-second ( fps ) or English system, sometimes used to express the rate at which mechanical energy is expended. It was originally defined as 550 foot-pounds per second (ft-lb/s). A power level of 1 hp is approximately equivalent to 746 watt s (W) or 0.746 kilowatt s (kW).
