A small charged sphere is attached to a thread and placed in an electric field. The other end of the thread is anchored so that

when placed in the field the sphere is in a static situation (all the forces on the sphere cancel). If the thread is horizontal, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field. The sphere has a mass of 0.018 kg and contains a charge of + 6.80 x 103 C. The tension in the thread is 6.57 x 10-2 N. Show your work and/or explain your reasoning. (20 pts)

Answer:

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

$F = qE$

so here the force is tension force on it

$F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N$

$Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C$

now we have

$6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E$

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

The position vector r:

$\overrightarrow{r(t)}=lcos\theta\hat{i}+lsin\theta\hat{j}$

The velocity vector v:

$\overrightarrow{v(t)}=\overrightarrow{\frac{dr}{dt}}=\dot{l}cos\theta-lsin\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{i}+\dot{l}sin\theta+lcos\theta\dot{\theta}\hat{j}$

The acceleration vector a:

$\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=cos\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)-sin\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})\hat{i}+cos\theta(2\dot{l}\dot{\theta}+l\ddot{\theta})+sin\theta(\ddot{l}-l\dot{\theta}^2)\hat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{v(t)}=0.13\hat{i}+0.18\hat{j}$

$\overrightarrow{a(t)}}=-0.3\hat{i}-0.1\hat{j}$

Answer:

E = 58.7 V/m

Explanation:

As we know that flux linked with the coil is given as

$\phi = NBA$

here we have

$A = \pi R_s^2$

$B = \mu_o N i/L$

now we have

$\phi = N(\mu_o N i/L)(\pi R_s^2)$

now the induced EMF is rate of change in magnetic flux

$EMF = \frac{d\phi}{dt} = \mu_o N^2 \pi R_s^2 \frac{di}{dt}/L$

now for induced electric field in the coil is linked with the EMF as

$\int E. dL = EMF$

$E(2\pi r_c) = \mu_o N^2 \pi R_s^2 \frac{di}{dt}/L$

$E = \frac{\mu_o N^2 R_s^2 \frac{di}{dt}}{2 r_c L}$

$E = \frac{(4\pi \times 10^{-7})(6500^2)(0.14^2)(79)}{2(0.20)(3.50)}$

$E = 58.7 V/m$

Work is done on a locked door that remains closed while you try to pull it open. True False.

dsp73

Answer:False

Explanation:

Work is being done on a body when it causes displacement of body on the application of force

$Work\ done=Force\times displacement$

When we pull the door by a force it causes zero displacements of the door. So we can say that work done on it is zero.

Thus the above-given statement is false
