Delicate measurements indicate that the Earth has an electric field surrounding it, similar to that around a positively charged

sphere. Its magnitude at the surface of the Earth is about 100 N/C. What charge would an oil drop of mass 2.0 x 10 15 kg have to have, in order to remain suspended by the Earth’s electric field? Give your answer in Coulombs ?

Answer:

q = 1.96 10⁴ C

Explanation:

The elective force is given by

         F_{e} = q E

Where E is the electric field and q the charge.

Let's use Newton's law of equilibrium for the case of the suspended drop

               F_{e} –W = 0

               F_{e} = W

               q E = m g

               q = m g / E

Let's calculate

              q = 2.0 10⁵ 9.8 / 100

              q = 1.96 10⁴ C

Bumek [7]
Before description, set the picture of a suspension bridge as "<span>Gate Bridge or Brooklyn Bridge" which is quite famous so you would probably know about it.

In this type of Bridges, they are </span><span>suspended the roadway by cables, ropes or chains from two tall towers. That towers support the majority of the weight as compression pushes down on the suspension bridge's deck and then travels up the connection (cables, ropes or chains) to transfer compression to the towers. The towers then dissipate the compression directly into the earth.
Suspension cables </span><span>receive the bridge's tension forces. These cables run horizontally between the two far-flung </span><span>anchorages

Hope this helps!</span>

Can a constant magnetic field set into motion an electron initially at rest? Explain your answer.
Vinvika [58]

No,  a constant magnetic field cannot set an electron initially at rest into motion

A force that accelerates a particle is necessary to change its velocity. The magnetic force is inversely proportional to the particle's speed. There cannot be a magnetic force acting on a moving particle, according to Einstein. A flux is a precise description of the greater-than-unity magnetic determine involving energy currents and magnet resources. The magnetic flux in a stage is actually selected apart from each some sort of route and also a degree (or durability); therefore, it is just a vector industry. The magnetic flux is usually defined as the Lorentz force that acts on moving galvanic costs.
