Answer:F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}

where  L\sqrt{2}=Distance between the two charges

F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}

The magnitude of force by both the  charge is same but at an angle of 90^{\circ}

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]

Semmy [17]

Answer:

b. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right (towards Wire A).

d. If Wire B carries a southward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the left (away from Wire A).

Explanation:

Two parallel conductors experience attractive force when the current flowing in the conductors are in the same direction.

Also two parallel conductors experience repulsive force when the current flowing in the conductors are in opposite direction.

Therefore, b and d are the correct options.

b. If Wire B carries a northward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience an attractive force to the right (towards Wire A).

d. If Wire B carries a southward conventional current and lies to the left (west) of wire A, then it will experience a repulsive force to the left (away from Wire A).

________ states that all current entering a branch point in a circuit must exit.
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The current through a branch is also called the branch current. The current supplied by the battery in a parallel circuit splits at one or more branch points. All of the current entering a branch point must exit again. This rule is known as Kirchhoff's current law

Daniel steps on the gas pedal of his car, and the engine increases its performance from zero to
RSB [31]

Answer

The frequency and the period are 45 cycles/second and 0.023 seconds

Explanation:

The frequency of the engine is given by :

f=\dfrac{rpm}{60}

We have, the engine increases its performance from zero to 2700 rpms.

Frequency,

f=\dfrac{2700}{60}\ \text{cycles per second}\\\\f=45\ \text{cycles per second}

The time period of the engine is given by :

T = f/f

So,

T=\dfrac{1}{45}\ s\\\\T=0.023\ s

Hence, the required frequency and the period are 45 cycles/second and 0.023 seconds respectively.
