A particle of charge Q is fixed at the origin of an xy coordinate system. At t = 0 a particle (m = 0.959 g, q = 5.84 µC is locat

ed on the x axis at x = 20.7 cm, moving with a speed of 47.9 m/s in the positive ydirection. For what value of Q will the moving particle execute circular motion? (Neglect the gravitational force on the particle.)

Answer:

8.66\times 10^{-6}\ C or 8.66\ \mu C.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Charge on the particle at origin = Q.
  • Mass of the moving charged particle, \rm m = 0.959\ g = 0.959\times 10^{-3}\ kg.
  • Charge on the moving charged particle, \rm q = 5.84\ \mu C = 5.84\times 10^{-6}\ C.
  • Distance of the moving charged particle from first at t = 0 time, \rm r=20.7\ cm = 0.207\ m.
  • Speed of the moving particle, \rm v = 47.9\ m/s.

For the moving particle to circular motion, the electrostatic force between the two must be balanced by the centripetal force on the moving particle.

The electrostatic force on the moving particle due to the charge Q at origin is given by Coulomb's law as:

\rm F_e = \dfrac{kqQ}{r^2}.

where, \rm k is the Coulomb's constant having value \rm 9\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2.

The centripetal force on the moving particle due to particle at origin is given as:

\rm F_c = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}.

For the two forces to be balanced,

\rm F_e = F_c\\\dfrac{kqQ}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow Q = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}\times \dfrac{r^2}{kq}\\=\dfrac{mv^2r}{kq}\\=\dfrac{(0.959\times 10^{-3})\times (47.9)^2\times (0.207)}{(9\times 10^9)\times (5.84\times 10^{-6})}\\=8.66\times 10^{-6}\ C\\=8.66\ \mu C.

A 6.00 A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has 8.5×1028 free elect
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current, I = 6 A

diameter of wire, d = 2.05 mm

number of electrons per unit volume, n = 8.5 x 10^28

If the diameter is doubled,

The resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire, so the resistance is  one forth an the current is directly proportional to the diameter of the wire so the current is four times the initial value.
