The electric potential at a certain location from a point charge can be represented by V. What is the value of the electric pote

<h2>Answer:</h2>

If you triple the charge, the electric potential is 3V.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

If you triple the charge, the electric potential is 3V. Put another way, the value of the electric potential at the same location is tripled if the strength of the charge is tripled.

<em>But why this is true?</em>

Well, the potential V due to a single point charge q is:

$V=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{q}{r}$

If the strength of the charge is tripled means that our new q1=3q, therefore:

$V=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{3q}{r}$

$V=3\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{q}{r}$

So you can see that in fact if you triple the charge, the electric potential is 3V.

Displacement vectors of 10 m west and 14 m west make a resultant vector that is _____.

Anastaziya [24]

For this case we can write each one of the vectors in the following way:

$v1 = 10 i\\v2 = 14 i$

This means that the x-axis is defined as positive towards the west.

Then, the resulting vector is:

$v1 + v2 = 10i + 14i\\v1 + v2 = 24 i$

Answer:

Displacement vectors of 10 m west and 14 m west make a resultant vector that is 24 m west

Addition of a metal slab of thickness "a" between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate separation "d" is equivalent

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

$K = \frac{d}{d+a}$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor in terms of the dielectric constant, area of the plate and the distance separating the plate is given by:

$C = \frac{\epsilon A}{d}$

Where A = Area of the plate

d = distance between the plates

$\epsilon =$ dielectric constant

Case 1:

When a meta slab of thickness, a, is added between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor , the effective separation between the plates becomes d+a

Therefore the capacitance of the capacitor becomes:

$C = \frac{\epsilon A}{d + a}$ .......................(1)

Case 2:

Introducing a dielectric with dielectric constant K between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor becomes:

$C = \frac{K\epsilon A}{d}$ .........................(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

$\frac{K\epsilon A}{d} = \frac{\epsilon A}{d+a}\\\frac{K}{d} = \frac{1}{d+a} \\K = \frac{d}{d+a}$

If the spring constant is doubled, what value does the period have for a mass on a spring? A. The period would double by square

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The period would decrease by sqrt(2)

Explanation:

The restoring force is given by,

F = -kx

According to Newton's second law of motion,

ma = -kx

ma + kx = 0

The time period is given by,

T = $\frac{2\pi }{\omega }$

Where $\omega$ is the angular velocity and it is given by,

$\omega$ = $\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

Now if the spring constant is doubled then,

$k_{2} = 2k$

Thus,

$T_{2}$ = $\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m} } }$

$\frac{T_{2} }{T} = \frac{\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m} } }}{\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } }}$

$\frac{T_{2} }{T} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{2k} } = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} }$

$T_{2} = \frac{T}{\sqrt{2} }$

Thus, The period would decrease by sqrt(2).

Hence, option D is correct.
