Suppose the maximum safe intensity of microwaves for human exposure is taken to be 1.39~\mathrm{W/m^2}1.39 W/m ​2 ​​ . If a rada

r unit leaks 10.0~\text{W}10.0 W of microwaves (other than those sent by its antenna) uniformly in all directions, how far away must you be to be exposed to an intensity considered to be safe? Assume that the power spreads uniformly over the area of a sphere with no complications from absorption or reflection. (Note that early radar units leaked more than modern ones do. This caused identifiable health problems, such as cataracts, for people who worked near them.)

Answer:

0.763 m

Explanation:

Intensity I = power P ÷ area A of exposure (spherical area of propagation)

I = P/A

A = P/I

Power = 10.0 W

Intensity = 1.39 W/m^2

A = 10/1.39 = 7.19 m^2

Area A = 4¶r^2

7.19 = 4 x 3.142 x r^2

7.19 = 12.568r^2

r^2 = 7.19/12.568 = 0.57

r = 0.753 m

A hollow metal sphere is electrically neutral (no excess charge). A small amount of negative charge is suddenly placed at one po
anygoal [31]

Answer and explanation:

The right answer is b) "The excess charge has distributed itself evenly over the outside surface of the sphere".

The hollow metal sphere is a conductor. This means that charges can move freely over its surface. On the other side, a metal body act as an equipotential body. Once some charge is set and there is no voltage differential imprinted over the body, to keep being an equipotential body the charges must distribute evenly on the external surface. Must not exist charge in the volume, or would exist an electrical field and therefore a voltage differential. Also, the charge distribution in the internal surface must be null. If you apply gauss theorem with a gaussian sphere with a radius between the internal and external surface, knowing that field E is null, the enclosed charge must be null.

In order to increase the amount of work completed, it is necessary to decrease the force applied to an object. decrease the time
wlad13 [49]
<span> <span> The answer to your question is: increase the force applied to the object.

Two items are provided as a basis for that conclusion:
1. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the formula for finding force is: F = ma
where F is the force,
m is the mass of an object,
and a is the acceleration of the object.

And 2: work = force x distance or W = F x d.</span></span>

A positively charged insulating rod is brought close to an object that is suspended by a string. If the object is repelled away
Trava [24]

Answer

A)   Positively charged two insulating rod are brought closed to an object  they repel each other. It means the Object is positively charged. Because similar charge repel each other.

   The correct answer is Option A.

B) we know force between to charges is calculated using Formula

         F = \dfrac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}.......(1)

   form the given condition in the question

          F' = \dfrac{k\dfrac{Q_1}{4}\dfrac{Q_2}{4}}{(\dfrac{r}{2})^2}

          F' = \dfrac{k\dfrac{Q_1}{4}\dfrac{Q_2}{4}}{(\dfrac{r^2}{4})}

          F' = \dfrac{4}{16}\dfrac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}

from equation (1)

          F' = \dfrac{F}{4}

hence, the correct answer is Option C.
