Answer:

<em>The total potential (magnitude only) is 11045.45 V</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Potential </u>

The total electric potential at location A is the sum of all four individual potentials produced by the charges, including the sign since the potential is a scalar magnitude that can be computed by

\displaystyle V=\frac{kq}{r}

Where k is the Coulomb's constant, q is the charge, and r is the distance from the charge. Let's find the potential of the rightmost charge:

\displaystyle V_1=\frac{9\cdot 10^{9}\times -2.16\cdot 10^{-6}}{0.88}=-22090.91\ V

The potential of the leftmost charge is exactly the same as the above because the charges and distances are identical

V_2=-22090.91\ V

The potential of the topmost charge is almost equal to the above computed, is only different in the sign:

V_3=+22090.91\ V

The bottom charge has double distance and the same charge, thus the potential's magnitude is half the others':

\displaystyle V_4=\frac{9\cdot 10^{9}\times 2.16\cdot 10^{-6}}{1.76}=+11045.45 \ V

The total electric potential in A is

V=-22090.91\ V-22090.91\ V+22090.91\ V+11045.45 \ V

V=-11045.45 \ V

The total potential (magnitude only) is 11045.45 V

What changes must be done to the wire to increase its conductance.​
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

- Decreasing the resistance

- Using a shorter length

- Using a smaller area wire

Explanation:

Formula for conductance in wires is;

G = 1/R

Where;

G is conductance

R is resistance

This means that increasing the resistance leads to a larger denominator and thus a smaller conductance but to decrease the denominator means larger conductance.

Thus, to increase the conductance, we have to decrease the resistance.

Resistance here has a formula of;

R = ρL/A

Where;

ρ is resistivity

L is length of wire

A is area

Thus, to decrease the resistance, we will have to use a shorter length and smaller area of wire.
