The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou

s atmospheric processes, including lightning. If research came out on Planet x in a distant solar system that had a electric field with strength 222 N/C and 0.6 the radius of the earth, what would be the excess charge on planet x

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵  C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

          r = 6 , 37 106 m

          E = k q / r²

          q = E r² / k

          q = \frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}

          q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

           r = 0.6 r_ Earth

           r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

           E = k q / r²

            q = E r² / k

            q = \frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}

            q = 3.6 10⁵  C

A vertical wire carries a current straight down. To the east of this wire, the magnetic field points: A) toward the east. B) tow
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

the correct answer is option E

the direction of magnetic field will be found out with the help of right hand rule.

Put you palm in the direction of electric field and curl your finger in the direction of magnetic field which east direction.

 now, the direction shown by the thumb will be the direction of magnetic field  which comes out to be toward South direction.

Two electromagnets contain the same types of magnets
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: The first electromagnet has a more powerful current than

the second

Explanation:

Since the two electromagnets contain the same types of magnets and wires. If the magnet In the first moves much faster than the second. Therefore:

The first electromagnet has a more powerful current than the second

Because the induced EMF is proportional to the induced current.

Where the induced EMF depends on the speed of the magnet according to the formula below

EMF = BVL

So, increase in speed of the magnet will cause more powerful induced current and emf

A 1.80-kg monkey wrench is pivoted 0.250 m from its center of mass and allowed to swing as a physical pendulum. The period for s
asambeis [7]

Answer:

I=0.0987kg.m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass M=1.80kg

Deviation d=0.250

Time t=0.940s

Generally the equation for moment of inertia is mathematically given by

 I=\frac{T}{2\pi}^2(mgd)

 I=\frac{0.94}{2.3.142}^2(1.80*9.8*0.250)

 I=0.0987kgm^2
