Two thin 80.0-cm rods are oriented at right angles to each other. Each rod has one end at the origin of the coordinates, and one

of them extends along the +x-axis while the other extends along the +y-axis. The rod along the +x-axis carries a charge of -15.0 µC distributed uniformly along its length, and the other rod carries +15.0 µC uniformly over its length. Find the magnitude and direction of the net electrical force that these two rods exert on an electron located at the point (40.0 cm, 40.0 cm). (e = 1.60 × 10-19C) ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N • m2)

Answer:

The net force on the electron is given as:

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Explanation:

Given:

charge on rod along x-axis = Q₁ = -15 x 10⁻⁶ C

charge on rod along y-axis = Q₂ = 15 x 10⁻⁶ C

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₁ = 0.4 m

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₂ = 0.4 m

charge on electron = q = -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

ε° = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

Electric force on charge due to rod 1:

F₁ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₁/r₁²)

F₁ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x -15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Negative negative repels each other so the rod will Force the electron in positive y-direction.

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j

Electric force on charge due to rod 2:

F₂ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₂/r₂²)

F₂ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₂ = - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Opposite charges attract each other so the rod will force the electron in negative x-direction.

F₂ = - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Net Force:

F = F₁ + F₂

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

What's at the bottom of the black hole? Explain .

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

Unknown

Explanation:

By definition, we can't observe what's inside there, because no light – no information of any kind – can escape a black hole. But astrophysical theories suggest that, at the core of a black hole, all the black hole's mass is concentrated into a tiny point of infinite density. This point is known as a singularity.

A charge is divided q1 and (q-q1)what will be the ratio of q/q1 so that force between the two parts placed at a given distance i

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$q / q_{1} = 2$ , assuming that $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ are point charges.

Explanation:

Let $k$ denote the coulomb constant. Let $r$ denote the distance between the two point charges. In this question, neither $k$ and $r$ depend on the value of $q_{1}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force between $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k\, q_{1}\, (q - q_{1})}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\end{aligned}$ .

Find the first and second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ . (Note that $0 < q_{1} < q$ .)

First derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d q_{1}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\right] \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, \left[\frac{d}{d q_{1}} [q\, q_{1}] - \frac{d}{d q_{1}}[{q_{1}}^{2}]\right]\\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\end{aligned}$ .

Second derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d^{2}}{{d q_{1}}^{2}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\right] \\ &= \frac{(-2)\, k}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

The value of the coulomb constant $k$ is greater than $0$ . Thus, the value of the second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ would be negative for all real $r$ . $F\!$ would be convex over all $q_{1}$ .

By the convexity of $\! F$ with respect to $\! q_{1} \!$ , there would be a unique $q_{1}$ that globally maximizes $F$ . The first derivative of $F\!$ with respect to $q_{1}\!$ should be $0$ for that particular $\! q_{1}$ . In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1}) = 0$ <em>.</em>

$2\, q_{1} = q$ .

$q_{1} = q / 2$ .

In other words, the force between the two point charges would be maximized when the charge is evenly split:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{q}{q_{1}} &= \frac{q}{q / 2} = 2\end{aligned}$ .
