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.

The specific heat of iron is 0.45j/gk. The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the 12 g of iron by exactly 15k?
labwork [276]

Answer:

81 J.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.45 J/gK.

Temperature change (ΔT) = 15 K

Mass = 12 g

Heat required (Q) =?

The heat required to raise the temperature of iron can be obtained as illustrated below:

Q = MCΔT

Q = 12 × 0.45 × 15

Q = 81 J

Therefore, the heat required to raise the temperature of the iron is 81 J.

The flow of electrons through a circuit is measured in which of the following units? A. electrical pressure B. amperes C. volts
damaskus [11]

The total quantity of electrons that have flowed through a circuit is a
quantity of charge, measured in Coulombs, or in Ampere-seconds.

The <em><u>rate</u></em> of flow of electrons, or more accurately the rate of flow of
the charge on them, is electrical current.  Its unit is the Ampere. 
1 Ampere is 1 Coulomb of charge per second.
