Two equal magnitude electric charges are separated by a distance d. The electric potential at the midpoint between these two cha

rges is zero. A student considering this situation says: "The electric field at the midpoint between the two charges will be zero also, since the two charges are opposite in sign, so the fields will equal but opposite, and add to zero." There is something wrong with the student's statement. Identify any problem(s) and explain how to correct it/them.

Answer:

The charges under study are of the same sign

The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges

Explanation:

Let's start by writing the equation for the electric field

          E = k q / r²

where q is the charge under analysis and r the distance from this charge to a positive test charge.

When analyzing the statement the student has some problems.

* The charges under study are of the same sign, it does not matter if positive or negative.

* The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges for the calculation of the electric field.

* What is added is the interaction of the electric field with the positive test charge, in this case each field has the opposite direction to the other, so the vector sum gives zero

Answer:

2) c) give-way vessel

3) a) With one short blast

Explanation:

2) A vessel that is required to take early substantial action to ensure avoiding  collision called Give way vessel

In overtaking, the vessel intending to overtake is the Give-Way Vessel the vessel that is going to be overtaken is the Stand-On Vessel

Therefore, the correct option is c) give-way vessel

3) When vessels use sound signals in a meeting head on situation both vessel are Give-Way vessels and both vessel pass the each other by turning to the starboard side therefore they intend to pass each other on their port side requiring one short blast

Therefore, the correct option is a) With one short blast.
