Answer:

While calculating the stresses in a body since we we assume a constant distribution of stress across a cross section if the body is loaded along the centroid of the cross section , this assumption of uniformity is assumed only on the basis of Saint Venant's Principle.

Saint venant principle states that the non uniformity in the stress at the point of application of load is only significant at small distances below the load and depths greater than the width of the loaded material this non uniformity is negligible and hence a uniform stress distribution is a reasonable and correct assumption while solving the body for stresses thus greatly simplifying the analysis.

If the electric field just outside a thin conducting sheet is equal to 1.5 N/C, determine the surface charge density on the cond

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The surface charge density on the conductor is found to be 26.55 x 1-6-12 C/m²

Explanation:

The electric field intensity due to a thin conducting sheet is given by the following formula:

Electric Field Intensity = (Surface Charge Density)/2(Permittivity of free space)

From this formula:

Surface Charge Density = 2(Electric Field Intensity)(Permittivity of free space)

We have the following data:

Electric Field Intensity = 1.5 N/C

Permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10^-12 C²/N.m²

Therefore,

Surface Charge Density = 2(1.5 N/C)(8.85 x 10^-12 C²/Nm²)

<u>Surface Charge Density = 26.55 x 10^-12 C/m²</u>

Hence, the surface charge density on the conducting thin sheet will be 26.55 x 10^ -12 C/m².

Answer:

Technician A only

Explanation:

The application of the breaks by stepping on the break pedal moves the pedal pushrod and plunger forward within the diaphragm plate, bringing about the contact between the vacuum port seal and the vacuum valve that closes the vacuum port and the passage that connects the left and right chambers such that the pressure in one chamber and te vacuum in the other chamber are held steady.

Can i join three 12 volts batteriesto give me 24 volts output

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

If we connect batteries in series then the output voltage is the sum of the individual voltage of each battery i.e if you connect three 12 volts batteries in series then their output voltage will be 12+12+12=36 volts, but the current rating of the batteries in series will be same of the individual battery rating in 'mah'.

But when we connect the batteries in parallel their voltage is not added but their current rating in mah is addition of their individual rating.

So, If you want 24 volts from three 12 volts battery then you can connect two of them in series and the other one in parallel with them this will give 24 volts and the current will be addition of the two series batteries and the third which is in parallel with them. You can use this configuration if current value is not a big factor.
