Answer:

t = 8.33 minutes

Explanation:

given,

Speed of Light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

distance between sun to Earth = 1.5 x 10¹¹ m

time taken to reach earth = ?

we know,

Distance = speed x time

$t = \dfrac{d}{s}$

$t = \dfrac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}$

t = 500 s

1 min = 60 s

now, $t = \dfrac{500}{60}\ minutes$

t = 8.33 minutes

time taken by the light to reach earth is equal to 8.33 minutes.

Answer:

The charge flows in coulombs is

$dq=1.843x10^{-5}C$

Explanation:

The current magnitude of current is given by the resistance and the induced Emf as:

$I=N*\frac{dF}{Rdt}$

$\frac{dq}{dt}=\frac{dF}{Rdt}=dq=N*\frac{dF}{R}$

$dq=\frac{N*\beta*A*(Cos(\alpha_f)-Cos(\alpha_i}{R}$

$N=1300$ , $\beta=0.703$ , $A=\pi*r^2=\pi*0.10^2=0.01\pi m^2$ , $R=99.4+202=301.4$ Ω

$\alpha_f=14.6$ , $\alpha_i=165.4$

Replacing :

$dq=\frac{1300*0.703x10^{-4}*0.01\pi*(0.9667-(-0.9667))}{202+99.4}$

$dq=1.843x10^{-5}C$

Three equal charge 1.8*10^-8 each are located at the corner of an equilateral triangle ABC side 10cm.calculate the electric pote

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

If all these three charges are positive with a magnitude of $1.8 \times 10^{-8}\; \rm C$ each, the electric potential at the midpoint of segment $\rm AB$ would be approximately $8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V$ .

Explanation:

Convert the unit of the length of each side of this triangle to meters: $10\; \rm cm = 0.10\; \rm m$ .

Distance between the midpoint of $\rm AB$ and each of the three charges:

$d({\rm A}) = 0.050\; \rm m$ .
$d({\rm B}) = 0.050\; \rm m$ .
$d({\rm C}) = \sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)$ .

Let $k$ denote Coulomb's constant ( $k \approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2}$ .)

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm A$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})}$ .

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm B$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})}$ .

Electric potential due to the charge at $\rm A$ : $\displaystyle \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})}$ .

While forces are vectors, electric potentials are scalars. When more than one electric fields are superposed over one another, the resultant electric potential at some point would be the scalar sum of the electric potential at that position due to each of these fields.

Hence, the electric field at the midpoint of $\rm AB$ due to all these three charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{k\, q}{d({\rm C})} \\ &= k\, \left(\frac{q}{d({\rm A})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm B})} + \frac{q}{d({\rm C})}\right) \\ &\approx 8.99 \times 10^{9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2} \\ & \quad \quad \times \left(\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{0.050\; \rm m} + \frac{1.8 \times 10^{-8} \; \rm C}{\sqrt{3} \times (0.050\; \rm m)}\right) \\ &\approx 8.3 \times 10^{3}\; \rm V\end{aligned}$ .
