Answer:

a) the total electric potential is 2282000 V

b) the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm) is 1330769.23 V

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the image below;

a) Determine the total electric potential (in V) at the origin.

We know that; electric potential due to multiple charges is equal to sum of electric potentials due to individual charges

so

Electric potential at p in the diagram 1 below is;

Vp = V1 + V2

Vp = kq1/r1 + kq2/r2

we know that; Coulomb constant, k = 9 × 10⁹ C

q1 = 4.60 uC = 4.60 × 10⁻⁶ C

r1 = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m

q2 = -2.06 uC = -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ C

location x2 = −1.80 cm; so r2 = 1.80 cm = 0.018 m

so we substitute

Vp = ( 9 × 10⁹ × 4.60 × 10⁻⁶/ 0.0125 ) + ( 9 × 10⁹ × -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.018 )

Vp = (3312000) + ( -1030000 )

Vp = 3312000 -1030000

Vp = 2282000 V

Therefore, the total electric potential is 2282000 V

b)

the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm).

As illustrated in the second image;

r1² = 0.015² + 0.0125²

r1 = √[ 0.015² + 0.0125² ]

r1 = √0.00038125

r1 = 0.0195

Also

r2² = 0.015² + 0.018²

r2 = √[ 0.015² + 0.018² ]

r2 = √0.000549

r2 = 0.0234

Now, Electric Potential at P in the second image below will be;

Vp = V1 + V2

Vp = kq1/r1 + kq2/r2

we substitute

Vp = ( 9 × 10⁹ × 4.60 × 10⁻⁶/ 0.0195 ) + ( 9 × 10⁹ × -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.0234 )

Vp = 2123076.923 + ( -762962.962 )

Vp = 2123076.923 -792307.692

Vp =  1330769.23 V

Therefore, the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm) is 1330769.23 V

The total amount of energy contained in an object
Elenna [48]

The total amount of energy stored in the particles of an object is called its internal energy. The internal energy of an object is made up of the kinetic energy due to the random motion of the particles and the potential energy due to the interactive forces among the particles.

Will an electromagnet be obtained if steel is placed inside the solenoid?​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:A solenoid is a simple electromagnetic device consisting of a coiled electric wire, wrapped in a 3D circular pattern. When electric current is passed through the wire, the solenoid acts like a magnet with N and S poles at the ends of the coil.

When a ferromagnetic material rod is permanently placed inside the solenoid, the metal greatly increases the magnetic effect and becomes a permanent electromagnet. Moreover, it can also be used as an electrical switch by drawing in or pushing out a ferromagnetic material like an iron rod. Depending on the directions of the rod and the electrical current the switching action takes place.

Given figure  represents the solenoid as electromagnet and the switching action.

A brick is resting on a smooth wooden board that is at a 30° angle. What is one way to overcome the static friction that is hold
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

We apply force to move the brick.

Explanation:

Let me first of define a force .

A force is something applied to an object or thing to change it's internal or external state.

Now if a brick is resting on smooth wood inclined at 30° to the horizontal for us to overcome the friction which is also a force we have to apply a force greater than the gravity force acting on the body and then depending on the direction of the applied force the angle to apply it also.

Which of the following are properties of mechanical waves?
yuradex [85]

The properties of mechanical waves are : ( C and D )

  • The three categories of mechanical waves are transverse, longitudinal,surface waves ( C )
  • Waves transport energy,but not matter ( D )

<h3>What are mechanical waves ?</h3>

Mechanical waves are a category of waves which cannot transmit energy through a vacuum, i.e. they require a medium to transmit their energy from one end to another. An example of a mechanical wave is : sound wave. Mechanical waves are grouped into transverse, longitudinal and surface waves.

Hence we can conclude that The properties of mechanical waves are : The three categories of mechanical waves are transverse, longitudinal,surface waves and Waves transport energy,but not matter

A bar magnet is cut in half, as shown.
Feliz [49]

Answer:

NS/NS

Explanation:

If we cut a bar magnet in half pieces according to the image that is given below the question, then the magnet will show NS/NS that is (North-South/North-South) because the smaller pieces of the magnet will become a small magnet with the same property-carrying both the poles, north pole as well as south pole. The poles will not be separated.
