Answer:

  E_ {total} = \frac{Q }{L^2 \epsilon_o}

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the electric field between two plates, the electric field is a vector

         E_ {total} = E₁ + E₂

         E_ {total} = 2 E

where E₁ and E₂ are the fields of each plate, we have used that for the positively charged plate the field is outgoing and for the negatively charged plate the field is incoming, therefore in the space between the plates for a test charge the two fields point in the same direction

to calculate the field created by a plate let's use Gauss's law

          Ф = ∫ E . dA = q_{int} /ε₀

As a Gaussian surface we use a cylinder with the base parallel to the plate, therefore the direction of the electric field and the normal to the surface are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

           E 2A = q_{int} / ε₀

where the 2 is due to the surface has two faces

indicate that the surface has a uniform charge for which we can define a surface density

           σ = q_{int} / A

           q_{int} = σ A

we substitute

           E 2A = σ A /ε₀

           E = σ / 2ε₀  

therefore the total field is

           E_ {total} = σ /ε₀

let's substitute the density for the charge of the whole plate

           σ= Q / L²

           

            E_ {total} = \frac{Q }{L^2 \epsilon_o}

Charged beads are placed at the corners of a square in the various configurations shown in
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The consecutive charge configuration has a more intense field than alternating

Explanation:

In each corner we place a different account there are only two different settings, see attached.

In the case of alternating charging (+ - + -) see diagram 1, the electric field in the center is canceled in pairs, resulting in a zero field

In the case of consecutive loads (+ + - -) in this case we have a result between the two charges, therefore the total field is

          E = 2 k q / ra2 a cos 45

The consecutive charge configuration has a more intense field than alternating

A measurement has high<br> when it is very close to the<br> true value?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Accuracy

Explanation:

Accuracy means making measurements that are close to the value precision means making measurement that are close in value to eachother but not necessarily close to the true value.

I hope this helps! If not sorry.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

f_n=3.75N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Frictional force F=0.150N

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu=0.04

Generally the equation for Normal for is mathematically given by

 f_n=\frac{F}{\mu}

Therefore

 f_n=\frac{0.150}{0.04}

 f_n=3.75N

Suppose that a public address system emits sound uniformly in all directions and that there are no reflections . The intensity a
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

The definition of the intensity in terms of power is given by:

I=\frac{P}{A}

Where:

  • P is the power
  • A is the area

If the sound emits uniformly in all directions and that there are no reflections, we can assume the geometry of the wave sound is spherical.

Let's recall the area of a sphere is A = 4\pi R^{2}

To the first location we have:

I_{1}=3*10^{-4} W/m^{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}

and to the second location we have:

I_{2}=\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}

Now, we can divide each intensity to find the second intensity.

\frac{I_{2}}{I_{1}}=\frac{\frac{P}{4\pi 78^{2}}}{\frac{P}{4\pi 22^{2}}}

I_{2}=I_{1}* \frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}

I_{2}=3*10^{-4}\frac{22^{2}}{78^{2}}

I_{2}=2.39*10^{-5} W/m^{2}

I hope it helps you!
