Three equal point charges, each with charge 1.45 μCμC , are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of

length 0.700 mm . What is the electric potential energy UUU of the system? (Take as zero the potential energy of the three charges when they are infinitely far apart.)

Answer:

U = 80.91 J

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric potential energy between the three charges you use the following formula:

U=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}                  (1)

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2

q1: q2 charge

r1,2: distance between charges 1 and 2.

For the three charges you have:

U_T=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r_{1,2}}+k\frac{q_1q_3}{r_{1,3}}+k\frac{q_2q_3}{r_{2,3}}           (2)

You use the fact that q1=q2=q3=q and that the distance between charges are equal. Then, in the equation (2) you have:

q = 1.45μC = 1.45*10^-6C

r = 0.700mm = 0.700*10^-3m

U_T=3k\frac{q^2}{r}=3(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(1.45*10^{-6}C)}{0.700*10^{-3}m}\\\\U_T=80.91J

The electric potential energy between the three charges is 80.91 J

Answer:

The doorbell transforms electrical energy into sound.

Explanation:

The doorbell MAY turn electrical energy into motion of a striker which then impacts a resonator creating sound. However all door bells do not have solenoids. Some are electronic playing recordings when activated.

All doorbells do produce sound, though.

What is elasticity in polymer generally related to?
Andrej [43]
The elasticity of a polymer is primarily due to the structure of the molecule and the cross-linking between strands. Hydrogen bonding is a contributor to the shape of the molecule, but not a major player in terms of elasticity. We would have to answer "false".

The attraction will vary directly with the separation between the charges.
Burka [1]
No it won't. It'll vary inversely as the square of the separation.
