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

An alternating-current (AC) source supplies a sinusoidally varying voltage that can be described with the function v of t is equ
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

ω, the angular frequency of the source equals 377 rad/s

Explanation:

From the question, V(t) = V cosωt.

Now, ω = the angular frequency of the sinusoidal wave is given by

ω = 2πf where f = the frequency of the source = 60 Hz

So, the angular frequency of the source ,ω = 2π × the frequency of the source.

So, ω = 2πf

ω = 2π × 60 Hz

ω = 120π rad/s

ω = 376.99 rad/s

ω ≅ 377 rad/s

So, ω, the angular frequency of the source equals 377 rad/s
