A uniformly charged, one-dimensional rod of length L has total positive charge Q. Itsleft end is located at x = ????L and its ri

ght end is located at x = 0. A separate positivepoint charge q is located at positive position x = x0.Find the magnitude of the force on the point charge by the rod. Evaluate the integral interms of the given variables. (This is basically the problem from the textbook, volume 2,page 584, Chapter 25, Exercise #16., but I've changed the description and variables.)

Answer:

|\vec{F}| = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))

Explanation:

The force on the point charge q exerted by the rod can be found by Coulomb's Law.

\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}\^r

Unfortunately, Coulomb's Law is valid for points charges only, and the rod is not a point charge.

In this case, we have to choose an infinitesimal portion on the rod, which is basically a point, and calculate the force exerted by this point, then integrate this small force (dF) over the entire rod.

We will choose an infinitesimal portion from a distance 'x' from the origin, and the length of this portion will be denoted as 'dx'. The charge of this small portion will be 'dq'.

Applying Coulomb's Law:

d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qdq}{x + x_0}(\^x)

The direction of the force on 'q' is to the right, since both charges are positive, and they repel each other.

Now, we have to write 'dq' in term of the known quantities.

\frac{Q}{L} = \frac{dq}{dx}\\dq = \frac{Qdx}{L}

Now, substitute this into 'dF':

d\vec{F} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQdx}{L(x+x_0)}(\^x)

Now we can integrate dF over the rod.

\vec{F} = \int{d\vec{F}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}\int\limits^{L}_0 {\frac{1}{x+x_0}} \, dx = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{qQ}{L}(\ln(L+x_0)-\ln(x_0))(\^x)

lara [203]

Answer:

Standard deviation = 3

Explanation:

Given

N = 1201

SS = 10800

Required

Determine the standard deviation

First, we need to determine the variance;

Variance = \frac{SS}{N - 1}

This gives:

Variance = \frac{10800}{1201 - 1}

Variance = \frac{10800}{1200}

Variance = 9

Know that:

Variance = SD^2

Where SD represents standard deviation

This gives

9 = SD^2

Take square root

SD = \sqrt 9

SD = 3

What is simple machine<br>​
notsponge [240]

Answer:

ϟ \huge{ \boxed{ \purple{ \text{Simple \: Machine}}}}

⤥ We use different types of devices in our life to make our work easier. A spade is used to dig , a broom is used to sweep , a hammer is used to pass a nail on the wall and a plank is used to drag a load up to a certain height. All these simple things or devices , which are used in our daily life are called simple machines. Such simple machines do not do our work themselves but we have to use force on them to work with them. Thus , Simple machines are those tools or devices which make our work easier and convenient to do in the direction of force.

Hope I helped ! ッ

Have a wonderful day / night ♡

\huge\mathfrak\red{answer}

Jake was playing making a paper airplane, after making he kept it on the table and went to have food.

Suddenly his brother saw the plane and threw it in the air, The airplane kept flying for about 3m/s and it hit his mother and due to the force the plane stopped.

{kept in on the table>rest

brother threw the plane>moving

it hit his mother>force that stopped it}

(mark me brainliest if you're satisfied with my answer)
