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.

Compare animal and plant cell
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

A plant cell contains a large, singular vacuole that is used for storage and maintaining the shape of the cell. In contrast, animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles. Plant cells have a cell wall, as well as a cell membrane. Animal cells simply have a cell membrane, but no cell wall.

hope this helps :)
