Answer:

Somewhere between the two wires, but closer to the wire carrying λ₂

Explanation:

Electric Field for a point at distance x from an electric charge Q is Ef = K*Q/x².

Electric Fied due to an electric charge is a vector and its direction is  such that  if we place a positive charge in the point it will be rejected ( equal sign charge repulse each other and different attract each other)

According to that previous explanation, it is no possible two have Ef=0 out of the two wires region, since above the upper wire and below the lower wire we have to add the two electric fields (both have the same direction). Therefore we only have possibilities of Ef = 0 inside the two wires, where the repulsion produced over a positive charge due to the two wires  are opposite

In the particular case in which λ₁ and λ₂ are equals then all the points exactly in the middle of d (distance between the two wires ) will have Ef =0.

As we can see at the beginning of the step by step explanation Electric field is proportional to the electric charge, or for a bigger charge, bigger Ef (keeping constant distance). In our case λ₁ >λ₂ then E₁ (Electric field produced by a wire carrying λ₁ will be bigger than (Electric field produced by wire carrying λ₂ at the middle way between the wires.

But for points closer to wire with λ₂  ( where E₂ is bigger than E₁ ) we will surely find an appropriate distance  to get equals E and then Ef = 0

What are the differences between a magnetic and gravitational interaction
GREYUIT [131]
Classically, gravitational attraction is due to the masses of objects. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distances between the objects.

Magnetic attraction is due to the magnetism in objects which is due to uncompensated electron spins in certain atoms.  The force due to magnetism less easy to put into one equation than gravity since magnetic fields can have different shapes, but the simplest one (the dipolar field) is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance between the magnetic dipoles.

Help quick<br> p;leaseeeeeeeeeeee its about direction and magnitude
KonstantinChe [14]

Explanation:

The net force of each square is the combination of the forces in each direction. The direction is the... direction the square would go in due to the net force. The magnitude of the net force is how large it is. So if you had a force pushing 2N to the left and 1N to the right, then the net force would be 1N to the left; because the two oppose eachother. If they were going in the same direction, then they'd add to each other. And perpendicular net forces (like one pushing up and another pushing left) can create net forces in diagonal directions.

I'm not going to do all of these for you because they're basically all the same thing and it's good practice for you anyway. But I'll do the first three just so you can get the idea:

1. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the right.

2. The net force's magnitude is 4N and it's direction is to the left.

3. The net force's magnitude is 0N and it has no direction because they are equal forces acting in opposite directions.

A typical cell has a membrane potential of -70 , meaning that the potential inside the cell is 70 less than the potential outsid
Oxana [17]

Answer:

energy is stored is 2.2 × 10⁻¹³ J

Explanation:

The capacitance  of the cell is given with the expression

C = (KE₀A) / d

k is the dielectric constant, A is the area of the cell, d is the thickness of the cell.

Now given that; the diameter is 50,

Area A = 4πR²

A = 4π × ( 25 × 10⁻⁶ m)²

A = 7850×10⁻¹² m²

our capacitance C = (KE₀A) / d

C = [9 ( 8.85 × 10⁻¹² C²/N.m²  × 7850×10⁻¹² m² )] / 7×10⁻⁹ m

C = 8.93 × 10⁻¹¹ F

Now Energy stored

E = 1/2 × CV²

E = 1/2 × (8.93 × 10⁻¹¹ F) × ( 70 × 10⁻³ V)²

E = 2.2 × 10⁻¹³ J

Therefore energy is stored is 2.2 × 10⁻¹³ J

Sodium has an atomic mass of 23 and an atomic number of 11, so the
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

12 Neutrons

Explanation:

So the mass of sodium is 22.990. You round it up to get 23(as stated in the problem). So, <em>what exactly is atomic mass?</em>

Atomic Mass is the total amount of neutrons and protons added up to form a total mass. So when you subtract 23-11 you get 12 Neutrons.

<u>Tip: </u>Don't know if you need this but-

The neutrons and protons are typically close in number (unless it's an isotope). So say that you subtract and the numbers of protons and neutrons aren't close at all. Well if that's the case, it's probably wrong.

hope this helps!!
