A: particles are more spread out in gas
Answer:
The goal of physics is to understand how things work from first principles. ... Courses in physics reveal the mathematical beauty of the universe at scales ranging from subatomic to cosmological. Studying physics strengthens quantitative reasoning and problem solving skills that are valuable in areas beyond physics
Answer:
(a) 135 kV
(b) The charge chould be moved to infinity
Explanation:
(a)
The potential at a distance of <em>r</em> from a point charge, <em>Q</em>, is given by

where 
Difference in potential between the points is
![kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{0.2\text{ m}} -\left( -\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right] = \dfrac{kQ}{0.2\text{ m}} = \dfrac{9\times10^9\text{ F/m}\times3\times10^{-6}\text{ C}}{0.2\text{ m}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=kQ%5Cleft%5B-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.2%5Ctext%7B%20m%7D%7D%20-%5Cleft%28%20-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.1%5Ctext%7B%20m%7D%7D%5Cright%29%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7BkQ%7D%7B0.2%5Ctext%7B%20m%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7B9%5Ctimes10%5E9%5Ctext%7B%20F%2Fm%7D%5Ctimes3%5Ctimes10%5E%7B-6%7D%5Ctext%7B%20C%7D%7D%7B0.2%5Ctext%7B%20m%7D%7D)

(b)
If this potential difference is increased by a factor of 2, then the new pd = 135 kV × 2 = 270 kV. Let the distance of the new location be <em>x</em>.
![270\times10^3 = kQ\left[-\dfrac{1}{x}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{0.1\text{ m}}\right)\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=270%5Ctimes10%5E3%20%3D%20kQ%5Cleft%5B-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%7D-%5Cleft%28-%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B0.1%5Ctext%7B%20m%7D%7D%5Cright%29%5Cright%5D)
