When sphere A and B are brought in contact and separated, charge on each sphere becomes [2x10^-6 + (-4x10^-6)]/ 2 = -1x10^-6 C.

That is, charge is equally separated and is the average of charges on both spheres. The reason behind equal charge on both spheres after separation is, when they are kept in contact, their potential difference becomes same.

Three charges, Q1, Q2, and Q3 are located in a straight line. The position of Q2 is 0.301 m to the right of Q1. Q3 is located 0.
Alexxx [7]

Answer and Explanation: A charge exerts a force over another charge even if they are very far apart. This force is called <u>Electrostatic</u> <u>Force</u>.

If the two charges have the same sign, e.g. both aare positive, the force between them is opposite. If they have opposite sign, the force is towards each other. In other words, for electrostatic force, equal charges repel and different charges attract.

So,

1. If Q2 and Q3 have opposite signs, it is TRUE force in Q2 will go the left;

2. If the 2 are negative, they have the same sign, so it's FALSE force is to the right;

Sentences 3 and 4 are also TRUE due to the reasons described above;

5. If the charges have opposite signs, it means force is towards each other, or, to the right, so the sentence is TRUE;

1. Force is directly proportional to charges in Coulomb [C] and inversely proportional to distance squared in [m]:

F=\frac{k.q.Q}{r^{2}}

where k is a constant that equals 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

Calculating force between 1 and 2:

F_{12}=\frac{9.10^{9}(1.9.10^{-6})(2.84.10^{-6})}{(0.301)^{2}}

F_{12}=536.02.10^{-3} N

Force between 2 and 3:

F_{23}=\frac{9.10^{9}(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(0.169)^{2}}

F_{23}=2711.63.10^{-3} N

Total force is the net force. Since Q2 is negative and the others are positive, force of 2 related to 1 is to left and related to 3 is to the right. Therefore, total force is the difference between those two forces:

F_{T}=2711.63.10^{-3}-536.02.10^{-3}

F_{T}=2175.61.10^{-3} N

The total force on Q2 is 2175.61 x 10⁻³ N

2. For net force to be 0, F_{13}=F_{23}. Suppose distance from 1 to 3 is x, then from 2 to 3 is x-0.301

Calculating:

\frac{k(1.90.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{x^{2}}=\frac{k(2.84.10^{-6})(3.03.10^{-6})}{(x-0.301)^{2}}

\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{x^{2}} =\frac{8.6052.10^{-12}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}

\frac{5.757.10^{-12}}{8.6052.10^{-12}}=\frac{x^{2}}{x^{2}-0.602x+0.090601}

x^{2}=0.67x^{2}-0.40x+0.061

0.33x^{2}+0.40x-0.061=0

roots = 0.14 or -1.35

Solving quadratic equation gives 2 roots, but one of the roots is negative. As distance is a measure that cannot be negative, the solution is x = 0.14.

The distance of Q3 relative to Q1 is 0.14 m

A coil formed by wrapping 65 turns of wire in the shape of a square is positioned in a magnetic field so that the normal to the
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

377 m

Explanation:

number of turns, N = 65

θ = 36°

B1 = 200 micro Tesla

B2 = 600 micro tesla

t = 0.4 s

induced emf, e = 80 mV

Let a be the side of the square coil.

e=\frac{d\phi }{dt}=NA\frac{dB}{dt}\times Sinθ

0.080=\frac{65\times a^{2}\times Sin36\times\left ( 600 - 200 \right )\times 10^{-6}}{0.4}

0.080=0.038a^{2}

a = 1.45 m

Total length of the wire, L = N x 4a = 65 x 4 x 1.45 = 377 m

Thus, the length of the wire is 377 m.

If you know the distance an object has traveled in a certain amount of time you can determine
Nutka1998 [239]
With that information, you can determine the object's speed.
Just divide the distance covered by the time to cover the distance.

If you also know the direction the object moved, then you can
determine its velocity.  If you don't, then you can't.

This type of polarization occurs when light strikes the atoms of a material.
zloy xaker [14]

Option C i.e scattering is the correct answer.

Scattering type of Polarization occurs when light strikes the atoms of a material.

Polarization is the process of transforming unpolarized light into polarized light. There are four methods of polarisation--Transmission, Refraction, Reflaction and Scattering.
