Honeybees accumulate charge as they fly, and they transfer charge to the flowers they visit. Honeybees are able to sense electri

c fields; tests show that they can detect a change in field as small as 0.77 N/C. Honeybees seem to use this sense to determine the charges on flowers in order to detect whether or not a flower has been recently visited, so they can plan their foraging accordingly. As a check on this idea, let's do a quick calculation using typical numbers for charges on flowers.
Part A If a bee is at a distance of 20 cm, can it detect the difference between flowers that have a 24 pC charge and a 32 pC charge

Answer:

ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the electric field expression

         E = k q / r²

where k is the Coulomb constant that is equal to 9 109 N m² /C², q the charge and r the distance to the point of interest positive test charge, in this case the distance to the bee

let's calculate the field for each charge

 

Q = 24 pC = 24 10⁻¹² C

         E₁ = 9 10⁹ 24 10⁻¹² / 0.20²

         E₁ = 5.4 N / C

Q = 32 pC = 32 10⁻¹² C

         E₂ = 9 10⁹ 32 10⁻¹² / 0.2²

         E₂ = 7.2 N / C

let's find the difference between these two fields

         ΔE = E₂ -E₁

         ΔE = 7.2 - 5.4

         ΔE = 1.8 N / C

the minimum detection field is

         E_minimum = 0.77 N / C

        ΔE> E_minimo

We see that the field difference between these two flowers is greater than the minimum field, so the bee knows if it has been recently visited, so the answer is if it can detect the difference

The single-pole, single-throw switch is normally wired ? between the source and the load to turn devices on and off.
zzz [600]

In series.

Single-pole and single-throw switch:

A switch with only one input and one output is referred to as a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch. This indicates that it has a single output terminal and a single input terminal.

A single pole, one throw switch functions as an on/off switch in circuits. The circuit is turned on when the switch is closed. The circuit is shut off when the switch is open.

Thus, SPST switches are relatively basic in design.

Circuit for a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) switch

Types:

According to the application, it can be divided into three categories, including:

  • Simple SPST
  • (ON)-OFF, Push-to-close, SPST Momentary
  • ON-(OFF), Push-to-Open, SPST Momentary
  • Inches Switch SPST

A proton moves with a speed of 1.17 105 m/s through Earth's magnetic field, which has a value of 50.0 µT at a particular locatio
vlabodo [156]

a) Southward you need to apply right hand rule. If you close your hand to the east, your thumb will indicate south.

b) Given the equation for Magnetic Force

F= qVB

Replacing

F= (1.16*10^{-19})(1.17*10^5)(50*10^{-6})

F=9.36*10^{-19}

c) Given the second Newton's Law by

F_g = 1.67*10^{-27}*9.81

F_g = 1.64*10^{-26}

Given the electric force by,

F_e = 1.6*10^{-19}*1.5*10^2

F_e = 2.4*10^{-17}N

F=9.36*10^{-19}N
