Answer:

r = 8/2 = 4cm = 0.04m

k = 9×10^9

Enet = 51 N/C

Enet = E1 + E2

since E1 = E2

E1 = Enet/2 = 51/2

E/2 = kq/r²

q = Er²/2k

q = (51 × 0.04²)/(2×9×10^9)

q = 4.5×10^-12 C

q1 = q2 = 4.5 pC

Explanation:

The electric field is a region around a

charge in which it exerts electrostatic force

on another charges. While the strength of

electric field at any point in space is called

electric field intensity. It is a vector

quantity. Its unit is NC¯¹.

According to coulomb’s law ,if a unit

positive charge q (call it a test charge) is

brought near a charge q (call a field

charge) placed in space,the charge q will

experience a force. The value of this force

depends upon the distance between the

two charges. If the charge q is moved

away from q ,this force would decrease till

at a certain distance the force would be

practically reduced to zero. The charge q

is then out of the influence of charge q.

The region of space surrounding the charge

q in which it exerts a force on the charge

q is known as E.F of the charge

q. Mathematically it is expressed as:

E =F/q

The direction of the vector E is the same

as the direction of F,because q is a

positive scalar. Dimensionally,the E.F is

force per unit charge,and its SI unit is the

newton/coulomb (N/C).

10. Explain the principle of electric motor. Write its uses.
konstantin123 [22]

Explanation:

The principle of an electric motor is based on the current carrying conductor which produces magnetic field around it. A current carrying conductor is placed perpendicular to the magnetic field so that it experiences a force.

The largest electric motors are used for ship propulsion, pipeline compression and pumped-storage applications with ratings reaching 100 megawatts. Electric motors are found in industrial fans, blowers and pumps, machine tools, household appliances, power tools and disk drives.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Which of the following statements is true with regard to transverse and longitudinal waves?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Transverse waves have motion perpendicular to velocity, while longitudinal waves have motion parallel to velocity.

Explanation:

Transverse waves are characterized by the fact that the particles of the medium in which they propagate move transversely to the direction of propagation of the wave.

In other words,<u> its displacement is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave</u>, being a good example the circular waves in the water.

On the other hand, Longitudinal waves are characterized by the fact that <u>the oscillation of the particles in the medium is parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.</u> A good example of this is the sound wave.

An electric travel blanket uses a car's 12V supply. The current is 3A.
snow_lady [41]

For electrical devices . . .

           Power dissipated = (voltage) x (current) =

                                             (12 V)  x  (3.0 A) = 36 watts .

1 watt means 1 joule per second

           (36 joule/sec) x (60 sec/min) x (10 min)  =  21,600 joules
