In the above problem, we need to find mass of the second child, so that the Center of Mass remains at the origin( pivot).

CM= m1r1+m2r2/m1+m2
0= 20*-2+16*r2/20+16
r2= 40/16
r2= +2.5 m

A spherical shell of radius 9.0 cm carries a uniform surface charge density σ= 9.0 nC/m2. The electric field at r= 9.1 cm is app
maria [59]

Answer:

995.12 N/C

Explanation:

R = 9 cm = 0.09 m

σ = 9 nC/m^2 = 9 x 10^-9 C/m^2

r = 9.1 cm = 0.091 m

q = σ x 4π R² = 9 x 10^-9 x 4 x 3.14 x 0.09 x 0.09 = 9.156 x 10^-10 C

E = kq / r^2

E = ( 9 x 10^9 x 9.156 x 10^-10) / (0.091 x 0.091)

E = 995.12 N/C

1) draw a simple circuit with a voltage source and four resistors wired in series
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

1)

In this circuit (see attachment #1), we have:

- A voltage source: in this case, we choose a battery. A voltage source is a device producing an electromotive force (in a battery, this is done by means of a chemical reaction), which is responsible for "pushing" the electrons along the circuit and creating a current. The electromotive force (emf) of the battery is also called voltage, and it is indicated with the letter V.

- Four resistors: a resistor is a device which opposes to the flow of current. The property that describes by "how much" the resistor "opposes" to the flow of current is called "resistance", and it is indicated with the letter R.

- In this circuit, the 4 resistors are in series. Resistors are said to be in series when they are connected along the same branch of the circuit, so that the same current flow across each of them.

- For resistors in series, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by the sum of the individual resistances:

R=R_1+R_2+...+R_n

2)

In this circuit (see attachment #2), we have:

- A voltage source: as before, we have chosen a battery, providing an electromotive  force to the circuit

- Three resistors wired in parallel. Resistors are said to be connected in parallel when they are connected along different branches, but with their terminals connected to the same point, so that each of them has the same potential difference across it.

- For resistors in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the circuit is calculated using the formula:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}

3)

In this circuit (see attachment #3), we have:

- A voltage source (again, we have choosen a battery)

- Three resistors, of which:

-- 2 of them are connected in parallel with each other

-- the 3rd one it is in series with the first two

If we call R_1,R_2 the resistances of the first 2 resistors in parallel, their equivalent resistance is:

\frac{1}{R_{12}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\rightarrow R_{12}=\frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1+R_2}

Then, these two resistors are connected in series with resistor R_3; and so, the total resistance of this circuit will be:

R=R_{12}+R_3=\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1+R_2}+R_3=\frac{R_1R_2+R_3(R_1+R_2)}{R_1+R_2}

4)

In this circuit (see attachment #4), we have:

- A voltage source (again, a battery)

- We have 6 resistors, which are arranged as follows:

-- Two branches each containing 3 resistors

-- The two branches are in parallel with each other

So, the total resistance of the two branches are:

R_{123}=R_1+R_2+R_3

R_{456}=R_4+R_5+R_6

And since the two branches are in parallel, their total resistance will be:

\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_{123}}+\frac{1}{R_{456}}\\\rightarrow R=\frac{R_{123}R_{456}}{R_{123}+R_{456}}=\frac{(R_1+R_2+R_3)(R_4+R_5+R_6)}{R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4+R_5+R_6}

A very long conducting cylinder (length L) of radius R(R<R and (b)r
mina [271]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have to find electric potential V at a distance r.

a) For r>R,

The electric field in the cylinder is given by

E.A equating it to the other electric field given by

б.A/ε₀

Here the area of cylinder is given by= 2*3.14*r*L

While for the outside, the area= 2*3.14*R*L

Equating both, we get

E= бR/rε₀

Now,

The potential difference is given as:

ΔV= -бR/rε₀ and integrating right side with respect to dr under limits r and R.

Where ΔV= V₀-V

So solving we get

V₀=V-бR/ε₀ln (r/R)

b) For r<R i.e. inside the cylinder

There will be no electric field produced as E=0

So ultimately Vin= V

c) V=0 at r= infinity.
