Answer:

c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat required, Q = 1200 J

Mass of the object, m = 20 kg

The increase in temperature, \Delta T=6^{\circ} C

We need to find the specific heat of the object. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by :

Q=mc\Delta T\\\\c=\dfrac{Q}{m\Delta T}\\\\c=\dfrac{1200}{20\times 6}\\\\c=10\ J/kg^{\circ} C

So, the specific heat of the object is 10\ J/kg^{\circ} C.

The Coulomb force between two charges q1 and q2 at separation r in air is F. If half of the separation is filled with medium of
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The new Coulomb force is q₁q₂/9πε₀r²

Explanation

The coulomb force between the two charges q₁ and q₂ at a distance r in air is given by F = q₁q₂/4πε₀r².

Now, let us assume the material of dielectric constant κ = 9 is placed between them on the side of the q₁ charge. The value of its effective charge is now q₃ = q₁/κ at a distance of d = r/2 from the q₂ charge.

Since we have air between q₂ and q₃, the coulomb force between them is

F' = q₂q₃/4πε₀d²

= q₂(q₁/κ)/4πε₀(r/2)²

=  4q₂q₁/κ4πε₀r²

= 4/κ(q₂q₁/4πε₀r²)

= 4/9 × (q₂q₁/4πε₀r²)

= q₁q₂/9πε₀r²

So, the new Coulomb force is q₁q₂/9πε₀r²

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

According to Lenz's law, the induced current in a circuit always flows to oppose the external magnetic field through the circuit. This statement is true.

The Faraday's law of induction is given by :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Here, negative sign shows that the direction of induced emf is such that opposes the changing current that is its cause.

Hence, the statement is true.
