Three negative point charges q1 =--5 nC, q2 = -2 nC and q3 = -5 nC lie along a vertical line. The charge q2 lies exactly between

charge q1 and q3 which are 16 cm apart. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this combination of charges produces at a point P at a distance of 6 cm from the q2.

Answer:

Ep= -10400 N/C

Ep= 10400 N/C  In the direction of the (-x )axis

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

The electric field at a point P due to a point charge is calculated as follows:

E = k*q/d²

E: Electric field in N/C

q: charge in Newtons (N)

k: electric constant in N*m²/C²

d: distance from charge q to point P in meters (m)

Equivalence  

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

1cm = 10⁻²m

Data

K= 9x10⁹N*m²/C²

q₁ = q₃= -5 nC= -5 *10⁻⁹C

q₂ = -2 nC = -2 *10⁻⁹C

d₁=d₃=d

d=\sqrt{8^{2}+6^{2}  } = 10 cm =  10*10⁻²m = 0.1m

d₂ = 6cm =  6*10⁻²m = 0.06m

Graphic attached

The attached graph shows the field due to the charges:

E₁ : Electric Field at point P  due to charge q₁. As the charge q₁  is negative (q₁-) ,the field enters the charge

E₂: Electric Field at point  P  due to charge q₂. As the charge q₂  is negative (q₂-) ,the field enters the charge

E₃: Electric Field at point  P  due to charge q₃. As the charge q₃  is negative (q₃-) ,the field enters the charge

Ep: Total field at point P due to charges q₁ , q₂ and q₃ .

Because q₁ = q₃ and d₁ = d₃, then, the magnitude of E₁ is equal to the magnitude of E₃

E₁ = E₃ = k*q/d² = ( 9*10⁹*5*10⁻⁹) /(0.1)² = 4500 N/C

E₂=  k*q₂/d₂²  = ( 9*10⁹*2*10⁻⁹) /(0.06)² = 5000 N/C

Look at the attached graphic :

Epx : Electric field component at point P in x direction

Epx =E₁x+E₂x+ E₃x

E₁x= E₃x= - 4500 * cosβ =- 4500* (6/10) = - 2700 N/C

E₂x = - 5000 N/C

Epx = E₁x+E₂x+ E₃x = - 2700 N/C - 5000 N/C- 2700 N/C

Epx = - 10400 N/C

Epy : Electric field component at point P in y direction

Epy =E₁y+E₂y+ E₃y

E₁y=  4500 * sinβ = 4500* (8/10) =  3600 N/C

E₃y= - 4500 * sinβ =  -4500* (8/10) =  -3600 N/C

E₂y = 0

Epy =E₁y+E₂y+ E₃y = 3600 N/C+0-3600 N/C

Epy = 0

Magnitude and direction of the electric field this combination of charges produces at a point P

Ep= Epx = 10400 N/C  In the direction of the (-x) axis

What is true for ALL of the examples of electromagnetic waves? A) They all move at the same speed in a vacuum. B) They all have
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<em>A statement that is true for ALL of the examples of electromagnetic waves is that;</em>

A) They all move at the same speed in a vacuum

<u>The reason for qualifying 'in vacuum' is because EM waves of different frequencies often propagate at different speeds through material. Generally speaking, we say that light travels in waves, and all electromagnetic radiation travels at the same speed which is about 3.0 * 108 meters per second through a vacuum.</u>

A boat travels at 30 mph for a huge, solid cliff that is about 3,000 meters away. When the horn on the boat makes a toot, you ca
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:The frequency of the echo is slightly decreased

Explanation:

Given

speed of boat =30\ mph

cliff is 3000\ m away

when boat is still , suppose t is the time taken by the echo to reach observer on the boat

But as soon as boat starts moving  the distance between cliff and boat decreasing and time for echo to reach observer also decreases

and we know time \propto \frac{1}{frequency}

therefore frequency of the echo slightly decreased.

The friction factor and head loss when velocity is 1m/s is 0.289 and 1.80 × 10^8 respectively. Also, the friction factor and head loss when velocity is 3m/s is 0.096 and 5.3 × 10^8 respectively.

<h3>How to determine the friction factor</h3>

Using the formula

μ = viscosity = 0. 06 Pas

d =  diameter = 120mm = 0. 12m

V =  velocity = 1m/s and 3m/s

ρ = density = 0.9

a. Velocity = 1m/s

friction factor = 0. 52 × \frac{0. 06}{0. 12* 1* 0. 9}

friction factor = 0. 52 × \frac{0. 06}{0. 108}

friction factor = 0. 52 × 0. 55

friction factor = 0. 289

b. When V = 3mls

Friction factor = 0. 52 × \frac{0. 06}{0. 12 * 3* 0. 9}

Friction factor = 0. 52 × \frac{0. 06}{0. 324}

Friction factor = 0. 52 × 0. 185

Friction factor = 0.096

Loss When V = 1m/s

Head loss/ length = friction factor × 1/ 2g × velocity^2/ diameter

Head loss = 0. 289 × \frac{1}{2*6. 6743 * 10^-11} × \frac{1^2}{0. 120} × \frac{1}{100}

Head loss =  1. 80 × 10^8

Head loss When V = 3m/s

Head loss = 0. 096 × \frac{1}{1. 334 *10^-10} × \frac{3^2}{0. 120} × \frac{1}{100}

Head loss = 5. 3× 10^8

Thus, the friction factor and head loss when velocity is 1m/s is 0.289 and 1.80 ×10^8 respectively also, the friction factor and head loss  when velocity is 3m/s is 0.096 and 5.3 ×10^8 respectively.
