Study of the photoelectric effect led to important steps in understanding the quantum nature of light and electrons and influenced the formation of the concept of wave-particle duality. The photoelectric effect is also widely used to investigate electron energy levels in matter.

A point charge is placed at the center of a spherical Gaussian surface. The electricflux ΦEischangedif(a) a second point charge
Simora [160]

Answer:

(b) the point charge is moved outside the sphere

Explanation:

Gauss' Law states that the electric flux of a closed surface is equal to the enclosed charge divided by permittivity of the medium.

\int\vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}

According to this law, any charge outside the surface has no effect at all. Therefore (a) is not correct.

If the point charge is moved off the center, the points on the surface close to the charge will have higher flux and the points further away from the charge will have lesser flux. But as a result, the total flux will not change, because the enclosed charge is the same.

Therefore, (c) and (d) is not correct, because the enclosed charge is unchanged.

How fast do you need to swing a 250-g ball at the end of a string in a horizontal circle of 0.6-m radius so that the string make
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

2.7 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the ball.  There are two forces:

Weight force mg pulling down

Tension force T pulling 39° above the horizontal

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

T sin θ − mg = 0

T = mg / sin θ

Sum of the forces in the radial (+x) direction:

∑F = ma

T cos θ = m v² / r

Substitute:

(mg / sin θ) cos θ = m v² / r

mg / tan θ = m v² / r

g / tan θ = v² / r

v = √(gr / tan θ)

Given that r = 0.6 m and θ = 39°:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 0.6 m / tan 39°)

v ≈ 2.7 m/s
