Answer:

(a) The net electric field these charges will produced at point A isto the right8.73×103

(b) The electric charge the charges will produce at point B is6.534×103 N/C

(c) The magnitude of the charge is1.4×10-15N, to the right.

Step by step solution

01

Net electric field produced at point A

Electric field at point charge is: E=k|q|r2

Whereis the magnitude of electric field,is the magnitude of the point charge,is the constant whose value is8.98755×109 N.m2/C2 and r is the distance from the point charge to where field is measured.

At point A E1→A=k|q1|r1→A2

=8.98755×10912.5×10-910×10-2=1.1234×104 N/C

Now,

E2→A=8.98755×1096.5×10-915×10-2=2.496×103 N/C

Therefore, the total electric field is:

Etotal=E1A+E2A=8.73×103 N/C

Therefore, the direction is to the right.

02

Electric field at point B

Similarly, as we have done above just plugging in the value we get:

E1→B=8.98755×10912.5×10-935×10-2=917.1N/C

The electric field produced by a negative charge will point toward it.

E2→B=8.98755×1096.5×10-910×10-2=5.617×103 N/C

Therefore, the total electric field is:

Etotal=917.1+5.617×103=6.534×103 N/C

Therefore, the electric field is to the right.

03

Magnitude of the proton

We know that

qproton=1.60217×10-19CEA=8.737×103N/C

Now,E=Fqproton

Putting the values, we get:

F=Eqproton=(8.737×103)(1.602×10-19)=1.4×10-15N

The proton is positive therefore the direction will be in the same direction of the electric field.

Two 120-V light bulbs, one 25-W and one 200-W, were connected in series across a 240-V line. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but one bulb burned out almost immediately. Which one burned out, and why?

In the circuit, in Fig. E26.47 the capacitors are initially uncharged, the battery has no internal resistance, and the ammeter is idealized. Find the ammeter reading (a) just after the switch S is closed and (b) after S has been closed for a very long time.

An electrical conductor designed to carry large currents has a circular cross section 2.50 mm in diameter and is 14.0 m long. The resistance between its ends is 0.104Ω. (a) What is the resistivity of the material? (b) If the electric-field magnitude in the conductor is 1.28 V/m, what is the total current? (c) If the material has 8.5×1028free electrons per cubic meter, find the average drift speed under the conditions of part (b).

You want to produce three 1.00-mm-diameter cylindrical wires,

each with a resistance of 1.00 Ω at room temperature. One wire is gold, one

is copper, and one is aluminum. Refer to Table 25.1 for the resistivity

values. (a) What will be the length of each wire? (b) Gold has a density of1.93×10-4kgm3.

What will be the mass of the gold wire? If you consider the current price of gold, is

this wire very expensive?

The power rating of a light bulb (such as a 100-W bulb) is the power it dissipates when connected across a 120-V potential difference. What is the resistance of (a) a 100-W bulb and (b) a 60-W bulb? (c) How much current does each bulb draw in normal use?
