Explanation:

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, it will exert the force in the test charge in the direction of electric field vector. We know that the direction of electric field is given by electric field lines. The field lines for a positive charge is outwards. The electric force acting on the charge is given by :

F = q E

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two protons (each with q = 1.60 x 10-19)
otez555 [7]

Answer:

230.4 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge (q) of each protons = 1.6×10¯¹⁹ C

Distance apart (r) = 1×10¯¹⁵ m

Force (F) =?

NOTE: Electric constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

The force exerted can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × (1.6×10¯¹⁹)² / (1×10¯¹⁵)²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2.56×10¯³⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 2.304×10¯²⁸ / 1×10¯³⁰

F = 230.4 N

Therefore, the force exerted is 230.4 N

Answer:

12N to the right.

Explanation:

There is a force of 12N upwards and a force of 12N downwards: these cancel out.

Assign a negative value to forces towards the left, and a positive value to the forces towards the right: -3N and +15N

Combine them: -3N+15N = 12N

The net force has a magnitude of 12N, and since our answer was positive, it acts towards the right.

Given a 45 45 90 prism with index of 1.5, immersed in air. The hypotenuse acts as the reflecting face by TIR. A ray of light ent
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

83.6°

Explanation:

For the ray to be totally internally reflected, at the boundary, the angle of refraction is 90. Using the law of refraction where

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂ where n₁ = refractive index of prism = 1.5, θ₁ = critical angle in prism, n₂ = refractive index of air = 1 and θ₂ = refractive angle = 90°.

So, substituting these values into the equation,

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

1.5 × sinθ₁ = 1 × sin90

1.5 × sinθ₁  = 1

sinθ₁ = 1/1.5

sinθ₁ = 0.6667

θ₁  = sin*(0.6667)

θ₁  = 41.8°

So, for total internal reflection, an incidence angle of 41.8° is required. So, a full convergence angle of 2 × 41.8° = 83.6° is required for the whole bundle of rays.
