Answer:

1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N, repulsive

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charged particles is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges of the two particles

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is:

- repulsive if the two charges have  same  sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite signs

In this problem, we have two electrons, so:

q_1=q_2=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the magnitude of the two electrons

r=1.5\cdot 10^{-10} m is their separation

Substituting into the formula, we find the electric force between them:

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^2}=1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N

And the force is repulsive, since the two electrons have same sign charge.

What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000V/s?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

I=2.71\times 10^{-5}\ A

Explanation:

A 6.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor has a 0.46 mm gap.  

What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000V/s?

Let given is,

The diameter of a parallel plate capacitor is 6 cm or 0.06 m

Separation between plates, d = 0.046 mm

The potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000 V/s

We need to find the displacement current in the capacitor. Capacitance for parallel plate capacitor is given by :

C=\dfrac{A\epsilon_o}{d}\\\\C=\dfrac{\pi r^2\epsilon_o}{d}, r is radius

Let I is the displacement current. It is given by :

I=C\dfrac{dV}{dt}

Here, \dfrac{dV}{dt} is rate of increasing potential difference

So

I=\dfrac{\pi r^2\epsilon_o}{d}\times \dfrac{dV}{dt}\\\\I=\dfrac{\pi (0.03)^2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{0.46\times 10^{-3}}\times 500000\\\\I=2.71\times 10^{-5}\ A

So, the value of displacement current is 2.71\times 10^{-5}\ A.

Why is the Earth generally warmer at the equator than at the poles?
Elenna [48]
Because of the earths curve and temperature. The temperature in an area depends on the amount of the Sun's energy reaching the surface in that area. The equator tilts closer to the sun than the poles do. I hope this helps!
