Answer:

a) x = 0.200 m

b)E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C

Explanation:

q_1 = 21.0\mu C

q_1 = 47.0\mu C

DISTANCE BETWEEN BOTH POINT CHARGE = 0.5 m

by relation for electric field we have following relation

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

according to question E = 0

FROM FIGURE

x is the distance from left point charge where electric field is zero

\frac{k21}{x}^2 = \frac{k47}{0.5-x}^2

solving for x we get

\frac{0.5}{x} = 1+ \sqrt{\frac{47}{21}}

x = 0.200 m

b)electric field at half way mean x =0.25

E =\frac{k*21*10^{-6}}{0.25^2} -\frac{k*47*10^{-6}}{0.25^2}

E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C

Answer:

(a) 0.2 m

(b) 3.744 x 10^6 N/C Rightwards

Explanation:

q1 = 21 micro Coulomb = 21 x 10^-6 C

q2 = 47 micro Coulomb = 47 x 10^-6 c

r = 0.5 m

(a) Let the electric field is zero at a distance d at point P from the 21 micro Coulomb.

Electric field at P due to charge q1

E_{1}=\frac{K q_{1}}{d^{2}}

Where, K is Coulomb constant = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

E_{1}=\frac{9\times 10^{10}\times 21\times 10^{-6}}{d^{2}}

E_{1}=\frac{189000}{d^{2}}    ..... (1)

Electric field at P due to charge q2

E_{1}=\frac{K q_{2}}{(r-d)^{2}}

E_{1}=\frac{9\times 10^{10}\times 47\times 10^{-6}}{(r-d)^{2}}

E_{1}=\frac{432000}{(r-d)^{2}}    ..... (2)

Equate the equation (1) and equation (2), we get

1.496 d = r - d

1.496 d = 0.5 - d

2.496 d = 0.5

d = 0.2 m

(b) Let E1 be the electric field due to q1 at mid point P and E2 be the electric field due to q2 at mid point P.

E_{1}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 21\times 10^{-6}}{0.25\times 0.25}

E1 = 3024 x 10^3 N/C

E_{2}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 47\times 10^{-6}}{0.25\times 0.25}

E2 = 6768 x 10^3 N/C

The resultant electric field is

E = E2 - E1 = (6768 - 3024) x 10^3 = 3.744 x 10^6 N/C Rightwards

A current of 5.0 a flows through an electrical device for 10 seconds. how many electrons flow through this device during this ti
melisa1 [442]
1 Amp = 1 Coulomb/sec
1 Coulomb/sec = 6.25*10^18 electrons/sec

Therefore,
5.0 A = 5 C/s = 5*6.25*10^18 = 3.125*10^19 e/s

In 10 second, number of electrons are calculated as;
Number of electrons through the device = 3.125*10^19*10 = 3.125*10^20 electrons

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

Two identical conducting spheres, A and B, carry equal charge. They are separated by a distance much larger than their diameters
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

C. \frac{3F}{8}

Explanation:

Let initial charges on both spheres be,q

F=\frac{Kq^2}{d^2}   \ \ \  \ \ \  \ \ \  \ \_i

When the sphere C is touched by A, the final charges on both will be,\frac{q}{2}

#Now, when C is touched by B, the final charges on both of them will be:

q_c=q_d=\frac{q/2+q}{2}\\\\=\frac{3q}{4}\\

Now the force between A and B is calculated as:

F\prime=\frac{k\times\frac{q}{2}\times \frac{3q}{4}}{d^2}\\F\prime=\frac{3F}{8}

Hence the electrostatic force becomes 3F/8
