The electric potential at the dot in the figure is 3160 V. What is charge q?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for electric potential of a point charge:

$V = \frac{kQ}{r}$

V = Electric potential (V)
k = Coulomb's Constant(Nm²/C²)

Q = Charge (C)
r = distance (m)

We can begin by solving for the given electric potentials. Remember, charge must be accounted for. Electric potential is also a SCALAR quantity.

Upper right charge's potential:

$V = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(-5 * 10^{-9})}{0.04} = -1123.75 V$

Lower left charge's potential:

$V = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(5*10^{-9})}{0.02} = 2247.5 V$

Add the two, and subtract from the total EP at the point:

$3160 + 1123.75 - 2247.5 = 2036.25$

The remaining charge must have a potential of 2036.25 V, so:

$2036.25 = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(Q)}{\sqrt{0.02^2 + 0.04^2}}\\\\2036.25 = \frac{(8.99*10^9)Q}{0.0447} \\\\Q = 0.000000010127 = \boxed{10.13nC}$

A power plant produces 1000 MW to supply a city 40 km away. Current flows from the power plant on a single wire of resistance 0.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Current = 8696 A

Fraction of power lost = $\dfrac{80}{529}$ = 0.151

Explanation:

Electric power is given by

$P=IV$

where I is the current and V is the voltage.

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}$

Using values from the question,

$I=\dfrac{1000\times10^6 \text{ W}}{115\times10^3\text{ V}} = 8696 \text{ A}$

The power loss is given by

$P_\text{loss} = I^2R$

where R is the resistance of the wire. From the question, the wire has a resistance of $0.050\Omega$ per km. Since resistance is proportional to length, the resistance of the wire is

$R = 0.050\times40 = 2\Omega$

Hence,

$P_\text{loss} = \left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2$

The fraction lost = $\dfrac{P_\text{loss}}{P}=\left(\dfrac{200000}{23}\right)^2\times2\div (1000\times10^6)=\dfrac{80}{529}=0.151$

The speed of sound in air is 345 m/s. A tuning fork vibrates above the open end of a sound resonance tube. If sound waves have w

Delvig [45]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concept of Frequency based on speed and wavelength.

According to the definition the frequency can be expressed as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

Where,

v = Velocity

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

Our value are given by,

v = 345m/s

$\lambda = 63cm$

Replacing

$f = \frac{345}{0.63}$

$f = 547.61Hz$

Therefore the frequency of the tuning fork is 547.61Hz
