Two charged particles are located on the x axis. The first is a charge 1Q at x 5 2a. The second is an unknown charge located at

x 5 13a. The net electric field these charges produce at the origin has a magnitude of 2keQ /a2. Explain how many values are possible for the unknown charge and find the possible values.

Answer:

Q_2 = +/- 295.75*Q

Explanation:

Given:

- The charge of the first particle Q_1 = +Q

- The second charge = Q_2

- The position of first charge x_1 = 2a

- The position of the second charge x_2 = 13a

- The net Electric Field produced at origin is E_net = 2kQ / a^2

Find:

Explain how many values are possible for the unknown charge and find the possible values.

Solution:

- The Electric Field due to a charge is given by:

                               E = k*Q / r^2

Where, k: Coulomb's Constant

            Q: The charge of particle

            r: The distance from source

- The Electric Field due to charge 1:

                               E_1 = k*Q_1 / r^2

                               E_1 = k*Q / (2*a)^2

                               E_1 = k*Q / 4*a^2

- The Electric Field due to charge 2:

                               E_2 = k*Q_2 / r^2

                               E_2 = k*Q_2 / (13*a)^2

                               E_2 = +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two possible values of charge Q_2 can either be + or -. The Net Electric Field can be given as:

                               E_net = E_1 + E_2

                               2kQ / a^2 = k*Q_1 / 4*a^2 +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two equations are as follows:

        1:                   2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 + k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

                               2Q = Q / 4 + Q_2 / 169

                               Q_2 = 295.75*Q

        2:                    2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 - k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

                               2Q = Q / 4 - Q_2 / 169

                               Q_2 = -295.75*Q

- The two possible values corresponds to positive and negative charge Q_2.

Which of the angles shown in this picture is the angle of incidence?<br> A<br> B
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The pictures are not attached, therefore, I cannot give a specific choice.
However, I will try to help you out.

The angle of incidence is defined as the angle formed between the ray of light and the normal to the surface that the ray is falling on.

The angle of incidence can be shown in the attached image.

Therefore, for your question, choose the image on which the above description applies.

Hope this helps :)

Art [367]
The answer is :  We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.  This is    because light can travel through vacuum but sound cannot.  Sound waves are vibrations of particles in any media, so sound requires a medium to travel, and it cannot travel in a vacuum as there is no particles to vibrate.

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth option or letter D. Trade winds blow towards the equator because t<span>he Equator receives the most heat energy.

</span>The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow<span> predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.
