The electric field at one corner of a square is 1614217 N/C.
Explanation:
The distance between x and y direction diagonals.
As per the given details the distance between diagonals is calculated as
0.5² + 0.5² = c² => c = 0.707 m
Charge to the right: In x direction
In order to find the electric charge towards x direction
we use e = kq/r² formula
As 'k' is coulomb's constant it's value is 9 x N m²/C²
e = (9 x )(250 x
) / (0.5)²
e = 9 x N/C
Charge diagonal:
e = kq/r²
e = [(9 x )(250 x
) / (0.707)²] cos 45
e = 225000√2 N/C
X direction sum = 1218198 N/C.
Similarly as shown in x direction the charge is same for y direction also
Charge below: For y direction
e = kq/r²
e = (9 x )(250 x
) / (0.5)²
e = 9 x N/C
Charge diagonal:
e = kq/r²
e = [(9 x )(250 x
) / (0.5)²] sin 45
e = 159099 N/C
Y direction sum = 1059099 N/C
Resultant electric field strength:
1218198 ² + 1059099² = e²
e = 1614217 N/C [45 degrees below the horizontal]
Answer:
1. False
2. True
3. True
Explanation:
1- False —> The relation between electric potential and electric field is given such that
Therefore, for a uniform E field, electric potential is linearly proportional to the distance.
2- True —> The electric field lines always cross the equipotential lines perpendicularly.
3- True —> In order to be a potential difference, one source of electric field is enough. The electric potential will decrease radially according to the following formula:
There is no test charge in the formula, only the source charge. Even when there is no test charge, the potential difference between points in space can exist.
