Answer: The question has some details missing. here is the complete question ; Point charge 1.5 μC is located at x = 0, y = 0.30 m, point charge -1.5 μC is located at x = 0 y = -0.30m. What are (a)the magnitude and (b)direction of the total electric force that these charges exert on a third point charge Q = 5.0 μC at x = 0.40 m, y = 0
Explanation:
- a) First of all find the distance between the two charges;
- x = 0, y = 0.30 and x = 0.40 m, y = 0
hence, the force F = 2Kq1q2cosθ /r²...............equation 1
but cosθ = y/r = 0.3/0.5
cosθ = 0.6
plugging back to equation 1;
F = 2 x 9 x 10^9 x 1.5 x 10^-6 x 5 x 10^-6 /0.5^2
F = 540 x 10^-3
Magnitude of Force = 0.54N
b) Direction is at angle 90
The correct answer would be "He brought one serving to his neighbor's house, and stored the other two servings in the refrigerator. Devon ate one more serving or spaghetti the following day."
Answer:
Explanation:
a ) Between r = 0 and r = r₁
Electric field will be zero . It is so because no charge lies in between r = 0 and r = r₁ .
b ) From r = r₁ to r = r₂
At distance r , charge contained in the sphere of radius r
volume charge density x 4/3 π r³
q = Q x r³ / R³
Applying Gauss's law
4πr² E = q / ε₀
4πr² E = Q x r³ / ε₀R³
E= Q x r / (4πε₀R³)
E ∝ r .
c )
Outside of r = r₂
charge contained in the sphere of radius r = Q
Applying Gauss's law
4πr² E = q / ε₀
4πr² E = Q / ε₀
E = Q / 4πε₀r²
E ∝ 1 / r² .
