Answer:

Part (i) the magnitude E of the electric field midway between the spheres is 8.71 × 10⁵ N/C

Part (ii) the direction of the electric field is towards the negative charge

Explanation:

Given;

+q = 3.93.90μC, r = 3.50×10⁻²m

-q = −2.40μC, r = 3.50×10⁻²m

magnitude of the electric field is experienced, midway between the spheres at a distance r,  r = ¹/₂ × 0.51 = 0.255 m

Electric field due to point charge is given as;

E = \frac{F}{q} = \frac{Kq^2}{qr^2}  = \frac{kq}{r^2}

K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

The positive charge on positive x-axis and the negative charge is on negative x-axis.

part (a)

The electric field due to positive charge; +q = 3.93.90μC

E_+ = \frac{kq}{r^2}\\\\E_+ = \frac{8.99 X10^9*3.9X0^{-6}}{0.255^2}\\\\E_+= 5.3919 X10^5\frac{N}{C}

The electric field due to negative charge; -q = −2.40μC

E_- = \frac{kq}{r^2}\\\\E_- = \frac{8.99 X10^9*2.4X0^{-6}}{0.255^2}\\\\E_-= 3.3181 X10^5\frac{N}{C}

From superimposition theorem

The magnitude of the electric field is;

E = E₊ + E₋

E = (5.3919 × 10⁵ + 3.3181 × 10⁵) N/C

E = 8.71 × 10⁵ N/C

Therefore, the magnitude E of the electric field midway between the spheres is 8.71 × 10⁵ N/C

Part (b)

The direction of the electric field is towards the negative charge.

A man walks 7 km, east in 2 hours and 2 km in 1 hour in the same direction. a) what is
Rzqust [24]

Explanation:

Average speed = distance / time

|v| = (7 km + 2 km) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

|v| = 3 km/hr

Average velocity = displacement / time

v = (7 km east + 2 km east) / (2 hr + 1 hr)

v = 3 km/hr east

If you run your boat aground what should you do first
padilas [110]
If you run your boat aground, the first thing you should do is to calmly assess the situation. In case you have passengers on your boat, you should have them don PFDs (personal flotation devices). Afterwards, you should turn off the engine, check if there is any damage, and generally see if everything is okay.
