Two point charges, A and B, are separated by a distance of 19.0 cm . The magnitude of the charge on A is twice that of the charg

e on B. If each charge exerts a force of magnitude 45.0 N on the other, find the magnitudes of the charges.

Answer:

QA = 19μC

QB = 9.5 μC

Explanation:

  • The force that each charge exerts on the other must obey Coulomb's Law, as follows:

       F_{AB} = \frac{k*Q_{A} * Q_{B}}{r_{AB}^{2}}  (1)

  • We know that the value of the magnitude of FAB  is 45.0 N, the distance between QA and  QB is 0.19 m, and that QA = 2*QB.
  • Replacing in (1), we can solve for QB, as follows:

      Q_{B} = \sqrt{\frac{F_{AB}*r_{AB} ^{2}}{2*k} } = \sqrt{\frac{45.0N*(0.19m) ^{2}}{2*9e9N*m2/C2} } = 9.5e-6 C  (2)

  • Since QA = 2*QB
  • ⇒ QA = 2* 9.5μC = 19.0 μC
  • ⇒ QB = 9.5μC

The magnitude of Earth’s magnetic field is about 0.5 gauss near Earth’s surface. What’s the maximum possible magnetic force on a
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy of the electron is given as

KE = 1 keV

KE = 1 \times 10^3 (1.6 \times 10^{-19}) J

KE = 1.6 \times 10^{-16} J

now the speed of electron is given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{2 KE}{m}}

v = 1.87 \times 10^7 m/s

now the maximum force due to magnetic field is given as

F = qvB

F = (1.6\times 10^{-19})(1.87 \times 10^7)(0.5 \times 10^{-4})

F = 1.5 \times 10^{-16} N

Now if this force is compared by the gravitational force on the electron then it is

\frac{F}{F_g} = \frac{1.5 \times 10^{-16}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} (9.8)}

\frac{F}{F_g} = 1.68 \times 10^{13}

so this force is 1.68 \times 10^{13} times more than the gravitational force

Determine the magnitude of the effective value of g⃗ at a latitude of 60 ∘ on the earth. assume the earth is a rotating sphere.
dezoksy [38]
In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr) 
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>

Where are the magnetic<br> fields<br> strongest near a bar magnet?
mixer [17]
<h2>ANSWER:</h2>
  • <u>The north pole</u>

  • The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole when compared with the south pole. The force is weaker in the middle of the magnet and halfway between the pole and the center.
