Answer:

-30 N/C

Explanation:

Since the potential changes from 0.90 V to 1.2 V when I move the probe 1 cm closer to the non-grounded electrode, the electric field is the gradient between the two points is given by E = -ΔV/Δx where ΔV = change in electric potential and Δx = distance of potential change = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Now ΔV = final potential - initial potential = 1.2 V - 0.90 V = 0.30 V

Since E = -ΔV/Δx

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

E = -ΔV/Δx

E = -0.30 V/0.01 m

E = -30 V/m

Since 1 V/m = 1 N/C.

E = -30 N/C

So, the average electric field is -30 N/C

A particle is projected with velocity v0 directly up a slope which makes an angle α with the horizontal. Assume frictionless mot
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

a)T total = 2*Voy/(g*sin( α ))

b)α = 0º ,  T total≅∞ (the particle, goes away horizontally indefinitely)

α = 90º,  T total=2*Voy/g

Explanation:

  • Velocity in the Y axis:

Voy=Vo*sinα

  • Time to reach the maximal height :

Kinematics equation: Vfy=Voy-at

a=g*sinα ;  g is gravity

if Vfy=0 ⇒ t=T ; time to reach the maximal height

so:

0=Voy-g*sin( α )*T

T=Voy/(g*sin( α ))

  • Time required to return to the starting point:

After the object reaches its maximum height, the object descends to the starting point, the time it descends is the same as the time it rises.

So T total= 2T = 2*Voy/(g*sin( α ))

  • α = 0º , sinα=0

The particle goes totally horizontal, goes away indefinitely

T total= 2*Voy/(g*sin( α )) ≅∞

  • α = 90º, sinα=1

T total=2*Voy/g

Explain how you can determine the direction of a magnetic field produced by a wire if you know the diection of the current throu
ololo11 [35]

Explanation:

Right hand thumb rule : Point the thumb of your right hand in the direction of the current flow, the direction of curvature of the fingers will give us the direction of the magnetic field produced by current carrying wire. This rule was given by Maxwell.

1) If the current is moving in upward direction , the direction of the magnetic field will be in anti clock wise direction.

2) If the current is moving in downward direction , the direction of the magnetic field will be in clock wise direction.
