Answer:

The electric field at origin is 3600 N/C

Solution:

As per the question:

Charge density of rod 1, \lambda = 1\ nC = 1\times 10^{- 9}\ C

Charge density of rod 2, \lambda = - 1\ nC = - 1\times 10^{- 9}\ C

Now,

To calculate the electric field at origin:

We know that the electric field due to a long rod is given by:

\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon_{o}{R}

Also,

\vec{E} = \frac{2K\lambda }{R}                  (1)

where

K = electrostatic constant = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_{o} R}

R = Distance

\lambda = linear charge density

Now,

In case, the charge is positive, the electric field is away from the rod and towards it if the charge is negative.

At x = - 1 cm = - 0.01 m:

Using eqn (1):

\vec{E} = \frac{2\times 9\times 10^{9}\times 1\times 10^{- 9}}{0.01} = 1800\ N/C

\vec{E} = 1800\ N/C     (towards)

Now, at x = 1 cm = 0.01 m :

Using eqn (1):

\vec{E'} = \frac{2\times 9\times 10^{9}\times - 1\times 10^{- 9}}{0.01} = - 1800\ N/C

\vec{E'} = 1800\ N/C     (towards)

Now, the total field at the origin is the sum of both the fields:

\vec{E_{net}} = 1800 + 1800 = 3600\ N/C

Pavel [41]

Answer:

C. Up, equal to the can's weight

Explanation:

You are camping in the breathtaking mountains if Colorado. You spy an unopened diet soda can floating motionless below the surface of a lake. What is the direction and amount of force the water exerts on it?

A. Zero

B. Down, equal to the can's weight

C. Up, equal to the can's weight

D. Not enough information is given

from the principle of flotation which states that a

When a body displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight, it floats. : A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weight. ... Archimedes' principle equates the buoyant force to the weight of the fluid displaced.

the upthrust (this is the upward vertical force exerted on an object in fluid)in the water equals the weight of the body in water it floats.

If youre walking from point a to b, the magnitude of your displacement will always be equal or less than or greater than your di
xenn [34]

The magnitude of your displacement can be equal to the distance you covered, or it can be less than the distance you covered.  But it can never be greater than the distance you covered.

This is because displacement is a straight line, whereas distance can be a straight line, a squiggly line, a zig-zag line, a line with loops in it, a line with a bunch of back-and-forths in it, or any other kind of line.

The straight line is always the shortest path between two points.
