Four point charges have equal magnitudes. Three are positive, and one is negative, as the drawing shows. They are fixed in place
on the same straight line, and adjacent charges are equally separated by a distance d. Consider the net electrostatic force acting on each charge. Calculate the ratio of the largest to the smallest net force magnitude.

Answer:
Ans= 9
See attached picture for clearer solution.
Explanation:
The net electrostatic force acting on charge A = 2/ 2 + 2 /(2) 2 − 2 /(3) 2 = 2 / 2 (1 + 1/4 – 1/9 ) = 41/36 2/2 .
The net electrostatic force acting on charge B = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 − 2/2 = 1/4 2/d2 .
The net electrostatic force acting on charge C = 2/2 + 2/(2)2 + 2/2 = 2/2 (1 + 1 4 + 1) = 9/4 2/2 .
The net electrostatic force acting on charge D = 2/2+ 2 /(2)2 + 2/(3)2 = 2 /2 (1 + 1/4 + 1/9 ) = 49/36 2/ 2 .
The ratio of the largest to the smallest net force = 9/4*2/2 / 1/4 2/2 . = 9

Answer:
The current is reduced to half of its original value.
Explanation:
- Assuming we can apply Ohm's Law to the circuit, as the internal resistance and the load resistor are in series, we can find the current I₁ as follows:
- where Rint = r and RL = r
- Replacing these values in I₁, we have:
- When the battery ages, if the internal resistance triples, the new current can be found using Ohm's Law again:
- We can find the relationship between I₂, and I₁, dividing both sides, as follows:
- The current when the internal resistance triples, is half of the original value, when the internal resistance was r, equal to the resistance of the load.

Explanation:
Acceleration is given by
where
is the change in velocity
is the time interval in which the change in velocity occurs
To find the acceleration at 1 second, we can take the data at t = 1 s and t = 2. We find:
So, the acceleration is
