Answer:

1. 8437500 N

2. The force between the two charges is attractive.

Explanation:

1. Determination of the force between the two charges.

Charge 1 (q₁) = –2.0 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 3.0 C

Distance apart (r) = 80 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Force (F) =?

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2 × 3 / 80²

F = 5.4×10¹⁰ / 6400

F = 8437500 N

Thus, the force of attraction between the two charges is 8437500 N

2. From the question given, the charges are:

Charge 1 (q₁) = –2.0 C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 3.0 C

We understood that like charges repels while unlike charges attract. Since the two charges (i.e –2 C and 3 C) has opposite signs, it means they will attract each other.

Thus the force between them is attractive.

Two charges are located in the x – y plane. If ????1=−4.10 nC and is located at (x=0.00 m,y=0.600 m) , and the second charge has
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.

The y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Charge on first charged particle, q_1=-4.10\ nC=-4.10\times 10^{-9}\ C.
  • Charge on the second charged particle, q_2=3.80\ nC=3.80\times 10^{-9}\ C.
  • Position of the first charge = (x_1=0.00\ m,\ y_1=0.600\ m).
  • Position of the second charge = (x_2=1.50\ m,\ y_2=0.650\ m).

The electric field at a point due to a charge q at a point r distance away is given by

\vec E = \dfrac{kq}{|\vec r|^2}\ \hat r.

where,

  • k = Coulomb's constant, having value \rm 8.99\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2.
  • \vec r = position vector of the point where the electric field is to be found with respect to the position of the charge q.
  • \hat r = unit vector along \vec r.

The electric field at the origin due to first charge is given by

\vec E_1 = \dfrac{kq_1}{|\vec r_1|^2}\ \hat r_1.

\vec r_1 is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the first charge.

Assuming, \hat i,\ \hat j are the units vectors along x and y axes respectively.

\vec r_1=(0-x_1)\hat i+(0-y_1)\hat j\\=(0-0)\hat i+(0-0.6)\hat j\\=-0.6\hat j.\\\\|\vec r_1| = 0.6\ m.\\\hat r_1=\dfrac{\vec r_1}{|\vec r_1|}=\dfrac{0.6\ \hat j}{0.6}=-\hat j.

Using these values,

\vec E_1 = \dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (-4.10\times 10^{-9})}{(0.6)^2}\ (-\hat j)=1.025\times 10^2\ N/C\ \hat j.

The electric field at the origin due to the second charge is given by

\vec E_2 = \dfrac{kq_2}{|\vec r_2|^2}\ \hat r_2.

\vec r_2 is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the second charge.

\vec r_2=(0-x_2)\hat i+(0-y_2)\hat j\\=(0-1.50)\hat i+(0-0.650)\hat j\\=-1.5\hat i-0.65\hat j.\\\\|\vec r_2| = \sqrt{(-1.5)^2+(-0.65)^2}=1.635\ m.\\\hat r_2=\dfrac{\vec r_2}{|\vec r_2|}=\dfrac{-1.5\hat i-0.65\hat j}{1.634}=-0.918\ \hat i-0.398\hat j.

Using these values,

\vec E_2= \dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (3.80\times 10^{-9})}{(1.635)^2}(-0.918\ \hat i-0.398\hat j) =-11.74\ \hat i-5.09\ \hat j\  N/C.

The net electric field at the origin due to both the charges is given by

\vec E = \vec E_1+\vec E_2\\=(102.5\ \hat j)+(-11.74\ \hat i-5.09\ \hat j)\\=-11.74\ \hat i+(102.5-5.09)\hat j\\=(-11.74\ \hat i+97.41\ \hat j)\ N/C.

Thus,

x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.

y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.

Six identical resistors are connected in series with a battery. The number of joules per second supplied by the battery is then
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

The expression for the power in terms of work done is as follows;

P=\frac{W}{t}

Here, W is the work done, t is the time taken and P is the power.

According to the given problem, six identical resistors are connected in series with a battery. The number of joules per second supplied by the battery is then determined.

The expression for the equivalent resistance in the series combination is as follows;

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{6}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{6}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=6R

It is given in the problem that a seventh resistor is added (in series).

R_{eq}=R_{1}+R_{2}......+R_{7}

Put R_{1},R_{2}......,R_{7}=R.

R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R+R+R

R_{eq}=7R

The expression for the power in terms of voltage and resistance is as follows;

P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}

Here, R is the resistance.

From the above expression, it can be concluded that the power, the number of joules per second supplied by the battery is inversely proportional to the resistance. The equivalent resistance increases if the seventh resistance is connected with a battery.

If a seventh resistor is added (in series) the number of joules per second supplied by the battery decreases.

Therefore, the option (b) is correct.

What specific structures are in electroreceptors?
Slav-nsk [51]
Electroreception is limited to aquatic environments because on here is the resistivity of the medium is low enough for electric currents to be generated as the result of electric fields of biological origin.  In air, the resistivity of the environment is so high that electric fields from biological sources do not generate a significant electric current.  Electroreceptor are found in a number of species of fish,  and in at least one species of mammal,  the Duck-Billed platypus.
