Explanation:

Let 'F' be force acting perpendicularly, 'A' be the area and 'P' be the pressure exerted.

Then,

Pressure is directly proportional to the the force acting perpendicularly i.e.

P ∝ F ............. (i)

Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which force acts i.e.

P ∝ 1/A ........... (ii)

Combining equations (i) and (ii),

P ∝ F/A

or, P = K × F/A [where K is a constant]

If F is 1N, A is 1m² and P is 1 N/m², then K is 1.

So, P = F/A proved...

A positively charged particle 1 is at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system, and there are no other charged objects nearby

8090 [49]

Answer:

P=(2 nm, 8mn)

Explanation:

Given :

Position of positively charged particle at origin, $O=(0\ nm,0\ nm)$

Position of desired magnetic field, $D\equiv(1\ nm,8\ nm)$

Magnitude of desired magnetic field, $E=0\ N.C^{-1}$

Let q be the positive charge magnitude placed at origin.

<u>We know the distance between the two Cartesian points is given as:</u>

$d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

<u>For the electric field effect to be zero at point D we need equal and opposite field at the point.</u>

$\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 } =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 }$

$\therefore (1-0)^2+(8-0)^2=r^2$

$r^2=65\ nm$

$r=\sqrt{65}$

as we know that the electric field lines emerge radially outward of a positive charge so the second charge will be at equally opposite side of the given point.

assuming that the second charge is placed at (x,y) nano-meters.

Therefore,

$x=2\times 1=2\ nm$

and

$y=2\times 8=16\ nm$

Answer:

circuit breaker

Explanation:

A circuit breaker is a device used for electrical safety. It consists of a switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage that may result from heating due to overload in the circuit.

Its basic function is to interrupt current flow through its switch that consists of metal stripe which bends when it gets hot.

Fuse has similar action with circuit breaker, the only difference is that fuse can only be used once because it melts when it gets hot.

Therefore, the correct answer is "circuit breaker"
