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 ]

A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 360 cm2 is charged to a potential difference V and is then disconnected from the
Softa [21]

Answer:

Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Explanation:

We are given that a parallel- plate capacitor is charged to a potential difference V and then disconnected from the voltage source.

1 m =100 cm

Surface area =S=\frac{360}{10000}=0.036 m^2

\Delta d=0.8 cm=0.008 m

\Delta V=100 V

We have to find the charge Q on the positive plates of the capacitor.

V=Initial voltage between plates

d=Initial distance between plates

Initial Capacitance of capacitor

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{d}

Capacitance of capacitor after moving plates

C_1=\frac{\epsilon_0 S}{(d+\Delta d)}

V=\frac{Q}{C}

Potential difference between plates after moving

V=\frac{Q}{C_1}

V+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{C_1}

\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}+100=\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0S}

\frac{Q(d+\Delta d)}{\epsilon_0 S}-\frac{Qd}{\epsilon_0S}=100

\frac{Q\Delta d}{\epsilon_0 S}=100

\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}

Q=\frac{100\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 0.036}{0.008}

Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C

Hence, the charge on positive plate of capacitor=Q=3.9825\times 10^{-9} C
