Here we want to study how the linear charge density changes as we change the measures of our body.

We will find that we need to add 9*Q of charge to keep the linear charge density unchanged.

<em>I will take two assumptions:</em>

The charge is homogeneous, so the density is constant all along the wire.

As we work with a linear charge density we work in one dimension, so the wire "has no radius"

Originally, the wire has a charge Q and a length L.

The linear charge density will be given by:

λ = Q/L

Now the length of the wire is stretched to 10 times the original length, so we have:

L' = 10*L

We want to find the value of Q' such that λ' (the <u>linear density of the stretched wire</u>) is still equal to λ.

Then we will have:

λ' = Q'/L' = Q'/(10*L) = λ = Q/L

Q'/(10*L) = Q/L

Q'/10 = Q

Q' = 10*Q

So the new <u>charge must be 10 times the original charge</u>, this means that we need to add 9*Q of charge to keep the linear charge density unchanged.

An object is placed 4.0 cm to the left of a convex lens with a focal length of +8.0 cm . Where is the image of the object?
Serjik [45]

The image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)

<h3></h3>

What is the image of an object?

The image of an object is said to be the location where light rays from that object intersect with a mirror by reflection.

It is calculated thus:

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>How to calculate the image of an object</h3>

From the formula

1÷v = 1÷f - 1÷u

<h3>Where </h3>

V = image distance fromthe object

U = object

f = focal length

Substitute the values

1÷v = 1÷8 - 1÷ 4

1÷v = - 1÷8

Make v the subject of formula

v = -8cm

Therefore, the image of the object is 8cm to the left of the lens (D)
