A tiny 0.0250 -microgram oil drop containing 15 excess electrons is suspended between to horizontally closely-spaced metal plate
qaws [65]

Answer:

(a) 12 × 10⁻³ C = 12 mC (b) The lower plate

Explanation:

Given

mass of oil drop, m = 0.025 μg =  0.025 × 10⁻⁶

radius of plates, r = 6.50 cm = 6.5 × 10⁻² m

k = 1/4πε₀ = 9.0 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

electric charge, e= 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

charge on oil drop, q = 15e

charge on plates, Q = ?

First, we find the charge density of the plates, D = Q/A where Q = charge on plates and A = area of plates. Since the plates are circular, the area is given by A=πr² where r = radius of plates. D=Q/πr²

Also, the electric field, E between the plates is given by E = D/ε =Q/Aε = Q/ε₀πr².

The force on the oil drop due to the electric field between the plates is given by F = qE = qQ/ε₀πr².

Since the oil drop is suspended between the plates, it means that the electric force due to the field on the oil drop balances the weight of the oil drop. So, since weight of oil drop W = mg where g = 9.8 m/s². F =W (for oil drop suspension).

So, qQ/ε₀πr²=mg

So, Q=mgε₀πr²/q

From k = 1/4πε₀, ε₀=1/4πk

So, Q = mgπr²/4πkq = mgr²/4kq = (0.025 × 10⁻⁶ × 9.8 × (6.5 × 10⁻²)²)÷(4 × 9 × 10⁹ × 15 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹)= 0.012 C = 12 mC

(b) The lower plate must be positive because, the direction of the electric field must be upwards, so as to balance out the weight of the oil drop so as to suspend it.

Suppose Earth's gravitational force were decreased by half. How would this change affect a game of basketball? Write a paragraph
timama [110]
If the gravitational force were<span> decreased by half, there would be lack of gravity on earth. Hence, it would basically affect the velocity, speed, and the distance travelled in any direction by basketball players and the ball. The basketball would bounce higher and come down in a slower speed. Whereas for the players, they would be able to leap higher from the floor.</span><span> </span>

What's a difference between mercury and oxygen?<br> (They both are elements)
borishaifa [10]

--  There are 80 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Mercury,
but only 8 of them in the nucleus of an atom of Oxygen.

-- Mercury must be warmer than 357°C in order to boil, but Oxygen
must only be warmer than -183°C.

--  Mercury must be colder than -39°C in order to freeze, but Oxygen
must be colder than -219°C.

--  Oxygen is required for human life.  Mercury is a deadly poison.
