Answer:

V=-26651.7V

Explanation:

The electric potential is for an electric charge is expressed as

V=kq/r.

Where K is constant, q is the charge and r is the distance.

Hence for a charge of +2.80 μC and - 6.20μC, both at distance 2.3m to each other, we can calculate the electric potential midway between them as

V=(kq/r)-(kq/r)

Since the mid way distance is 2.3/2=1.15m

Hence

V=K[(q/1.15) - (q/1.15)]

V=9*10⁹*10⁻⁶(2.43-5.39)

V=-26651.7V

Answer:

b) q large and m small

Explanation:

q is large and m is small

We'll express it as :

q > m

As we know the formula:

F = Eq

And we also know that :

F = Bqv

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

Bqv = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

or Eq = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

Assume that you want a velocity selector that will allow particles of velocity v⃗ to pass straight through without deflection while also providing the best possible velocity resolution. You set the electric and magnetic fields to select the velocity v⃗ . To obtain the best possible velocity resolution (the narrowest distribution of velocities of the transmitted particles) you would want to use particles with q large and m small.

The spacing between the plates of a 1.0 μF capacitor is 0.050 mm. a) What is the surface area of the plates? b) How much charge

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

(a) surface area of the plate will be equal to $1.129m^2$

(b) Charge on the capacitor is equal to $1.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Explanation:

We have given spacing between the plates d = 0.05 mm = $5\times 10^{-5}m$

Value of capacitance $C=1\mu F=10^{-6}F$

(A) Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is equal to $C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}$

So $10^{-6}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times A}{10^{-5}}$

$A=1.129m^2$

So surface area of the plate will be equal to $1.129m^2$

(B) It is given that capacitor is charged by 1.5 volt

So voltage V = 1.5 volt

Charge on the capacitor is equal to $Q=CV$

So $Q=1.5\times 10^{-6}C$

The Coriolis effect is the result of which of these?

Anarel [89]

The coriolis effect was discovered in the 19th century by Gaspard. C. Coriolis. It simply relates to anything that moves freely on the surface of the earth including apparent curvature global winds and ocean currents.
This curvature is mainly due to the rotation of the earth around its axis.

Answer:
A.) The rotation of Earth on its axis
