Suppose the electric field in problems 2 was caused by a point charge. The test charge is moved to a distance twice as far from

the charge. What is the magnitude of the force that the field exerts on the test charge now ?

Answer:

it is reduced four times.

Explanation:

By definition, the electric field is the force per unit charge created by a charge distribution.

If the charge creating the field is a point charge, the force exerted by it on a test charge, must obey Coulomb´s Law, so, it must be inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the charges.

So, if the distance increases twice, as the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and the square of 2 is 4, this means that the magnitude of the force exerted on the test charge must be 4 times smaller.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

In a velocity selector, there are two forces namely;

» Electric field Intensity

» Magnetic field density

<u>Relationship</u><u>:</u>

E _{e}= B

E is the electric field intensity

B is the magnetic flux density

A Ferris wheel has diameter of 10 m. It rotates at a uniform rate and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670
Nikolay [14]

Answer:  459.14 N

Explanation:

from the question, we have

diameter = 10 m

radius (r)  = 5 m

weight (Fw) = 670 N

time (t) = 8 seconds

Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below

∑ F = F c =  F w − Fn ..............equation 1

Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2

substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have

Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r

Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2)   ..........equation 3

Fw (mass of the person) = mg

therefore m = Fw / g

                m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg

now substituting  our values into equation 3

Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)

Fn = 670 - 210.86

Fn = 459.14 N

Place the left charge at the 2 cm position and the right one at the 4 cm position. Vary the left and right charge to the values
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force between two charges can be expressed as follows

F = k q₁ q₂ / d²

q₁ and q₂ are two charges , d is distance between them , k is a constant whose value is 9 x 10⁹

distance between charges is fixed which is 4 -2 = 2 cm = 2 x 10⁻² m

force between 1μC and  4μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1 x 4 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 9 x 10 = 90 N

force between 4μC and  1μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 4 x 1 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 9 x 10 = 90 N

force between 2μC and  2μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 2 x 2 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 9 x 10 = 90 N

force between 1μC and  2μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1 x 2 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 4.5 x 10 = 45 N

force between 1μC and  8μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1 x 8 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 18 x 10 = 180 N

force between 2μC and  8μC

= 9 x 10⁹ x 1 x 8 x 10⁻¹² / ( 2 x 10⁻² )²

= 36 x 10 = 360 N

Left Charge   Right Charge Resulting force(N)

1μC                     4μC                  90 N

4μC                   1μC                    90 N

2μC                  2μC                    90 N

1μC                    2μC                   45 N

1μC                  8μC                    180 N

2μC                  8μC                  360 N
