A positively charged wire with uniform charge density +λ lies along the x-axis and a negatively charged wire with uniform charge

density –λ lies along the y-axis (both lines are infinitely long). Find the electric field at the point (x, y). You may look up the electric field due to an infinitely long wire with uniform charge density

Answer:

\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0}[\frac{1}{y}(\^y) - \frac{1}{x}(\^x)]

Explanation:

The electric field created by an infinitely long wire can be found by Gauss' Law.

\int \vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}\\E2\pi r h = \frac{\lambda h}{\epsilon_0}\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 r} \^r

For the electric field at point (x,y), the superposition of electric fields created by both lines should be calculated. The distance 'r' for the first wire is equal to 'y', and equal to 'x' for the second wire.

\vec{E} = \vec{E}_1 + \vec{E}_2 = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 y}(\^y) + \frac{-\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 x}(\^x)\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 y}(\^y) - \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0 x}(\^x)\\\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_0}[\frac{1}{y}(\^y) - \frac{1}{x}(\^x)]

Two generators use the same magnetic field and operate at the same frequency. Each has a single-turn circular coil. One generato
Volgvan

Answer:

The coil radius of other generator is 5.15 cm

Explanation:

Consider the equation for induced emf in a generator coil:

EMF = NBAω Sin(ωt)

where,

N = No. of turns in coil

B = magnetic field

A = Cross-sectional area of coil = π r²

ω = angular velocity

t = time

It is given that for both the coils magnetic field, no. of turn and frequency is same. Since, the frequency is same, therefore, the angular velocity, will also be same. As, ω = 2πft.

Therefore, EMF for both coils or generators will be:

EMF₁ = NBπr₁²ω Sin(ωt)

EMF₂ = NBπr₂²ω Sin(ωt)

dividing both the equations:

EMF₁/EMF₂ = (r₁/r₂)²

r₂ = r₁ √(EMF₂/EMF₁)

where,

EMF₁ = 1.8 V

EMF₂ = 3.9 V

r₁ = 3.5 cm

r₂ = ?

Therefore,

r₂ = (3.5 cm)√(3.9 V/1.8 V)

<u>r₂ = 5.15 cm</u>

Vector A has y-component Ay= +15.0 m . A makes an angle of 32.0 counterclockwise from the +y-axis. What is the x component of A?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

x-component=-9.3 m

Magnitude of A=17.7m

Explanation:

We are given that

A_y=+15 m

\theta=32^{\circ}

We have to find the x-component of A and magnitude of A.

According to question

A_y=\mid A\mid cos\theta

Substitute the values then we get

15=\mid A\mid cos32

\mid A\mid =\frac{15}{cos32}=\frac{15}{0.848}

\mid A\mid=17.7m

tan\theta=\frac{perpendicular\;side}{Base}

tan32=\frac{A_x}{A_y}=\frac{A_x}{15}

0.62\times 15=A_x

A_x=9.3

The value of x-component of A is negative because the vector A lie  in second quadrant.

Hence, the x- component of A=-9.3 m

An airplane, starting from rest, moves down the runway at constant acceleration for 18 s and then takes off at a speed of 60 m/s
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a =3.33 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

initial speed of Plane, u = 0 m/s

final speed of plane, v = 60 m/s

time of the acceleration, t = 18 s

average acceleration of the plane, a = ?

average acceleration is equal to change in velocity per unit time.

a = \dfrac{v - u}{t}

a = \dfrac{60 - 0}{18}

a = \dfrac{60}{18}

     a =3.33 m/s²

Hence, average acceleration of the plane is equal to a =3.33 m/s²
