Answer:

0.355 m

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Charges, q₁ = 53.0 µC = 53.0 × 10⁻⁶ C and q₂ = 44.0 µC = 44.0  × 10⁻⁶ C

Repulsive force exerted by the charges, F = 166 N

The value of Coulomb constant, k = 8.98755 × 10⁹ N·m²/C²

Now,

The Force exerted between the charges is given as = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Thus,

166 N = \frac{8.98755\times10^9\times53\times10^{-6}44\times10^{-6}}{r^2}

or

r² = \frac{8.98755\times10^9\times53\times10^{-6}44\times10^{-6}}{166}

or

r = 0.355 m

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.

Suppose that you connect the terminals of two batteries of different emfs positive to positive and negative to negative (opposin
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

This question is very basic and easy. The answer to this question is:

Answer: If both batteries are connected we would get less amount of charge as compared to connected a single battery.

Reasoning:

If both batteries are connected in a manner of positive terminal to positive terminal and negative terminal to negative terminal then a capacitor is added to charge it from the batteries then, total electromotive force (emf) would decrease.

As a result, the capacitor added would get less amount of charge stored. But capacitor added will get more amount of charge stored when a single battery is connected.

qaws [65]

Answer:

288.0 units; that is the electrostatic force of attraction become quadruple of its initial value.

Explanation:

If all other parameters are constant,

Electrostatic Force of attraction ∝ (1/r²)

F = (k/r²) = 72.0

If r₁ = r/2, what happens to F₁

F₁ = (k/r₁²) = k/(r/2)² = (4k/r²) = 4F = 4 × 72 = 288.0 units
