Two large, parallel, nonconducting sheets of positive charge face each other. What is at points (a) to the left of the sheets, (

b) between them, and (c) to the right of the sheets? Assume the same surface charge density for each sheet. The separation of the sheets is much less than their dimensions. Do not consider points near the edges of the sheets. (Hint: at any point is the vector sum of the separate electric fields set up by each sheet.)

Answer:

a)The electric Field will be zero at the point between the sheets

b)E_1=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

c)E_2=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Explanation:

Let \sigma be the surface charge density of the of the non conducting parallel sheet.Let consider a Gaussian surface in the form of of cylinder such that its cross-sectional is A . Then there will be flux only due to cross sectional area as the curved sectional is perpendicular to the the electric field  so the Electric Flux due to it is zero.

Now using Gauss law we have, E be the electric Field at the distance r from the sheet then

E\times 2A=\dfrac{\sigma A}{\epsilon_0}\\E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

The Field will be away from the sheet and perpendicular to it.

a) The Electric Field between them

E_1=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}-\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\\=0

b)The Electric Field to the right of the sheets

E_1=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}+\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\\=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

c)The Electric Field to the left of the sheets

E_2=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}+\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}\\=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

An uncharged, nonconducting, hollow sphere of radius 10.0cm surrounds a 10.0-μC charge located at the origin of a Cartesian coor
MrMuchimi

The electric flux through the hole is 56.45\ webber .

  • Electric flux is the number of electric field lines cutting through the surface and is measured as surface intregal of electric field over that surface
  • Mathematically it is given by \phi_E=E.A \ Nm^2/C where E is the electric field and A is the area.
  • Gauss's law states that electric flux through closed surface is equal to the 1 / ε₀ times the charge enclosed by that surface which is given by  Ф = q / ε₀ where q is the central charge and ε₀ is the permittivity of the medium.

It is given , hollow sphere of radius 10.0cm surrounds a 10.0-μC charge.

The whole surface of hollow sphere = 4\pi r^2

                                                            = 4\times 3.14\times  (10 \times  10^{-2})^2 \\\\= 12.56\times 10^{-2} m^2

Area of the hole ( both side ) = 2\times \pi  r^2

                                               = 2\times 3.14 \times  (10^-^3)^2\\= 6.28 \times 10^-^6 m^2

According to Gauss's theorem, the flow from a particular charge in the center is given by

 \phi=  \frac{10\times10^-^6}{8.85\times 10^-^1^2}\\\\\phi=1.13\times10^6

This flux flows through the surface of the sphere, so the flux  per unit area which is given by

= \frac{ 1.13\times 10^6 }{ 12.56\times 10^-^2} \\\\= 8.99 \times 10^6 \  weber / m^2

Flux through area of hole is given by :

=  8.99\times10^6 \times6.28 \times 10^-^6\\ = 56.45 \ weber

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up
Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the cube = 6.0 kg

Consider the three cubes together as one.

M = mass of the three cubes together = 3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg

a = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

F = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N

F_{L} = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N

A 2.0-kg laptop sits on the horizontal surface of the seat of a car moving at 8.0 m/s. The driver starts slowing down to stop. F
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 32.65\ m

Explanation:

Given

mass of laptop m=2 kg

The velocity of car u=8 m/s

The coefficient of static friction is \mu_s=0.4

The coefficient of kinetic friction is \mu_k=0.2

As the car is moving, so the coefficient of kinetic friction comes into play

deceleration offered by friction \mu_kg=0.2\times 9.8\ m/s^2

Using the equation of motion v^2-u^2=2as\\

insert the values

0^2-8^2=2(-0.2\times 9.8)s\\\\s=\dfrac{64}{1.96}\\\\s=32.65\ m
