Answer:

1/9 of that just outside the smaller sphere

Explanation:

The electric field strength produced by a charged sphere outside the sphere itself is equal to that produced by a single point charge:

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge on the sphere

r is the distance from the centre of the sphere

Calling R the radius of the first sphere, the electric field just outide the surface of the first sphere is

E_0=k\frac{Q}{R^2}

The second sphere has a radius which is 3 times that of the smaller sphere:

R'=3R

So, the electric field just outside the second sphere is

E'=k\frac{Q}{R'^2}=k\frac{Q}{(3R)^2}=\frac{1}{9}(k\frac{Q}{R^2})=\frac{E_0}{9}

So, the correct answer is 1/9.

What is the maximum magnitude of charge that can be placed on each plate if the electric field in the region between the plates
34kurt

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

A parallel-plate capacitor has capacitance C_{0} = 8.50 pF when there is air between the plates. The separation between the plates is 1.00 mm.

What is the maximum magnitude of charge that can be placed on each plate if the electric field in the region between the plates is not to exceed 3.00 \times 10^{4} V/m?

Explanation:

It is known that relation between electric field and the voltage is as follows.

             V = Ed

Now,  

              Q = CV

or,           Q = C \times Ed

Therefore, substitute the values into the above formula as follows.

              Q = C \times Ed

                  = 8.50 pF \times (\frac{10^{-12} F}{1 pF})(3 \times 10^{4} m/s)(1 mm)(\frac{10^{-3} m}{1 mm})

                  = 2.55 \times 10^{-10} C

Hence, we can conclude that the maximum magnitude of charge that can be placed on each given plate is 2.55 \times 10^{-10} C.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, where there is a uniform electric field between
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer : 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field strength, E=2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C

We know that,

Charge of electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of electron, m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg

From the definition of electric field, F=qE...............(1)

According to Newton's second law, F = ma..........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

ma=qE

a=\dfrac{qE}{m}

a=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 2.55\times 10^{4}\ N/C }{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}

a=0.4483\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

or

a=4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

So, the horizontal component of acceleration of an electron is 4.483\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2.

Hence, it is the required solution.

A coin mass 0.005 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground ?
lesya692 [45]
Mechanical energy equals the sum of potential and kinetic energy. During the process, all PE converts into KE, assuming air resistance is neglected. So, the mechanical energy does not change and is equal to the initial potential energy.

Consider identical spherical conducting space ships in deep space where gravitational fields from other bodies are negligible co
Illusion [34]

Answer:

 q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m

charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.

it is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one

Explanation:

In this exercise we have two forces in balance: the electric force and the gravitational force

          F_e -F_g = 0

          F_e = F_g

Since the gravitational force is always attractive, the electric force must be repulsive, which implies that the electric charge in the two ships must be of the same sign.

Let's write Coulomb's law and gravitational attraction

         k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2} = G \frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

In the exercise, indicate that the two ships are identical, therefore the masses of the ships are the same and we will place the same charge on each one.

          k q² = G m²

          q = \sqrt{ \frac{G}{k} }    m

we substitute

           q = \sqrt{ \frac{ 6.67 \ 10^{-11}}{8.99 \ 10^{9}} }   m

            q = \sqrt{0.7419 \ 10^{-20}}   m

           q = 0.861 10⁻¹⁰ m

           q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ m

This amount of charge does not depend on the distance between the two ships.

It is also proportional to the mass of the ships with the proportionality factor found.

Suppose the ships have a mass of m = 1000 kg, let's find the cargo

            q = 8.61 10⁻¹¹ 10³

            q = 8.61 10⁻⁸ C

             

this is a very small charge value so it should be easy to create in each one
