An uncharged metal sphere, A, is on an insulating base. A second sphere, B, of the same size, shape, and material carrying charg

e Q is brought close to, but not touching, sphere A. Describe what happens to the charges on A and B as they are brought close but not touching. If we now remove sphere B and place it far away, what is the charge on sphere A

Answer:

0

Explanation:

  • If we bring the charged sphere B close to, but not touching it , to the uncharged sphere A, as charges can move freely on the conductor, a charge -Q will be built on the outer surface of the sphere A, facing to sphere B.
  • As the sphere A must remain neutral, a charge Q will be built on the surface, on the side farther to the sphere B, as the following condition must be met:

       Q +(-Q) =0.

  • If we now remove sphere B, and place it far away, there will be a charge redistribution within sphere A, making to disappear the separation between Q and -Q.
  • The total charge on sphere A must be 0, as there is no charge transfer from sphere B to sphere A.

A uniformly charged sphere has a total charge of 300uc and a radius of 8cm. Find the electric field density at A point 16cm from
s2008m [1.1K]

E = <u>kQ</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

(r + h)²

where,

k = 9 × 10^9Nm²C^-2

Q = total charge, 300uC = 300 × 10^ -6C

r = 8 × 10^ -2m

h = 16 × 10^ -2m

then,

E = <u>9</u><u>e</u><u>9</u><u> </u><u>*</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>0</u><u>0</u><u>e</u><u>^</u><u>-</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u><u> </u>

(8e^-2 + 16e^-2)²

E = 4687500N/C

How much work is done when an engine generates 400 Watts of power in 25 seconds?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

10000 J or 10 KJ

Explanation:

power = workdone/time taken

400 = workdone/25

workdone = 400 * 25

=10000 J
