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}

A car slows from 27 m/s to 5 m/s with a constant acceleration for 6.87 s. What is the car’s acceleration?
Kobotan [32]

In this case, the movement is uniformly delayed (the final rapidity is less than the initial rapidity), therefore, the value of the acceleration will be negative.

1. The following equation is used:

a = (Vf-Vo)/ t

a: acceleration (m/s2)

Vf: final rapidity (m/s)

Vo: initial rapidity (m/s)

t: time (s)

2. Substituting the values in the equation:

a = (5 m/s- 27 m/s)/6.87 s

3. The car's acceleration is:

a= -3.20 m/ s<span>^2</span>

19. When white light is incident on a prism, which one of the resulting color components will have the lowest index of refractio
ohaa [14]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

When white light is incident on prism it bends and dispersed into different colors.

According to Cauchy equation, refractive index is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the light.

wavelength of the light in decreasing order

orange > yellow > green > blue

wavelength of the orange light is the highest.

Hence, the refractive index  of orange will be lowest.

The correct answer is option A

The basic barometer can be used to measure the height of a building. If the barometric readings at the top and at the bottom of
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

   (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m

Explanation:

The pressure depends on the height with the formula

          P = P_atm + rho g h

Let's apply this expression for the building

         P₁ = P_atm + rho_air g h₁

        P₂ = P_atm + rho_air g h₂

Subtract

        P₁ - P₂ = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

         

         

The measured pressure is in mm Hg to take this unit to units of pressure must be multiplied by the density of mercury and the acceleration of gravity

           P₁- P₂ = rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg

         rho_Hg g (h₁-h₂) _Hg = roh_air g (h₁ –h₂)

          (h₁ –h₂) = rho_Hg / rho_air (h₁-h₂) _ Hg

Let's calculate

         (h₁-h₂) = 13600 / 1.18 (695-675)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm

Let's reduce to meter

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10⁵ mm (1 m / 10³ mm)

         (h₁-h₂) = 2.30 10² m
