Answer:
E1 = 2996.667N/C E2 = 11237.5N/C
Explanation:
E1 = kQ1/r^2
=8.99 x 10^9 x 30 x 10^-9/(30x10^-2)^2
= 2996.667N/C
E2 = kQ2/r^2
= 8.99 x 10^9 x 50 x 10^-9/(20x10^-2)^2
= 11237.5N/C
The direction are towards the point a
To find the temperature it is necessary to use the expression and concepts related to the ideal gas law.
Mathematically it can be defined as

Where
P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = Number of moles
R = Gas constant
T = Temperature
When the number of moles and volume is constant then the expression can be written as

Or in practical terms for this exercise depending on the final temperature:

Our values are given as

Replacing

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 800K
Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the
sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:
l = 15 – 2x
w = 8 – 2x
It is 2x since we cut on two sides.
We know that volume is:
V = l w x
V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x
V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3
V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3
Taking the 1st derivative:
dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2
Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:
120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0
Divide by 12:
x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0
(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2
x - 92/24 = ±2.17
x = 1.66, 6
We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w
negative, so:
x = 1.66 inches
So the largest volume is:
V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3
V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3
V = 90.74 cubic inches
Parallel circuits allow current to flow even if some paths are cut, because a parallel circuit has more than one current-carrying path through it.
