A straight, nonconducting plastic wire 9.50 cm long carries a charge density of 130 nC/m distributed uniformly along its length.

It is lying on a horizontal tabletop.A) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this wire produces at a point 4.50 cm directly above its midpoint.B)If the wire is now bent into a circle lying flat on the table, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field it produces at a point 4.50 cm directly above its center.

Answer:

A) E = 3.70*10^{4} N/C

B)  E = 2.281*10^3 N/C

Explanation:

given data:

charge density \lambda = 130*10^{-9} C/m

length of wire = 9.50 cm

a) at x  = 4.5 m above midpoint, electric field is calculated as

E = \frac{1}{ 2\pi \epsilon} * \frac{ \lambda}{x\sqrt{(x^2/a^2)+1}}

x = 4.5 cm

midpoint a = 4.5 cm = 0.0475 m

E =2{\frac{1}{ 8.99*10^9} * \frac{130*10^{-9} }{0.045\sqrt{(4.5^2/4.75^2)+1}}

E = 3.70*10^{4} N/C

B) when wire is in circle form

Q = \lambda * L

= 130*10^{-9} *9.5*10^{-2}

   = 1.235*10^{-8} C

Radius of circle

r = \frac{L}{2\pi}

r = \frac{9.5*10^{-2}}{2\pi}

r = 1.511*10^{-2} m

E = \frac{1}{ 2\pi \epsilon} * \frac{Qx}{(x^2+r^2)^{3/2}}

E =8.99*10^{9} * \frac{1.23*10^{-8}*4.5*10^{-2}}{((4.5*10^{-2})^2+(1.511*10^{-2})^2)^{3/2}}

E = 2.281*10^3 N/C

zimovet [89]

Answer:

a) v = 6.25\times 10^{5} m/s

b) v = 1.73\times 10^{4} m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Electric field = 1.47 N/C

velocity of electron is 4.55\times 10^5 m/s

distance of point b from point A is 0.55 m

we know that acceleration of particle is given as

a) for electron

a =\frac{q E}{m}

a = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 1.47}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

a = 2.58\times 10^{11} m/s^2

from equation of motion we have

v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

      = 20.7025 \times 10^{10} + 2\times 2.58\times 10^{11} \times 0.355

v = 6.25\times 10^{5} m/s

b) for proton

a = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-19} \times -1.47}{1.6\times 10^{-27}}

a = -1.41\times 10^{8} m/s^2

from equation of motion we have

v^2 = u^2 + 2aS

       = 3.8025 \times 10^{8} - 2\times 1.41\times 10^{8} \times 0.355

v = 1.73\times 10^{4} m/s

Insulators have very high .
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.

A bathtub contains 65 gallons of water and the total weight of the tub and water is approximately 931.925 pounds. You pull the p
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Q = 8,345 * v

Explanation:

So, we are looking for an expression of the amount of water that has been drained from the tub. The expression is in terms of v that represent the number of gallons of water drained since the plug was pulled. Since we are interested in the pounds of water that has been drained from the tub we need to take into account that for every gallon of water drained, 8.345 pounds have left the tub. Therefore, the expression for the weight of water Q that has been drained from the tub in terms of v is simply :

Q = 8,345 * v

Where v is the amount of gallons that has been drained from the tub.
