Two-point charges q1 and q2 are held in place 4.50 cm apart. Another point charge Q = -1.75 mC, of mass 5.00 g, is initially located 3.00 cm from both of these charges (Fig. P21.72) and released from rest. You observe that the initial acceleration of Q is 324 m/s*s upward, parallel to the line connecting the two-point charges. Find q1 and q2.

Short Answer

Expert verified

As the lower charge is of the equivalent extent and inverse sign, the size of the lower charge is q2=6.11108C

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Free body diagram.

Given Q=1.75C,m=5.0g,a=324ms2andL=3.0cm

02

About equilibrium of forces and calculation of Forces.

The net force is in the direction of acceleration so we must arrange the system as shown in the figure to make the net force in direction of +y.

The net force according to Newton鈥檚 second law of motion

Fnet=maFntt=5103324=1.62N.=>(1)

Also, the net force is

Fnet=F1sin()+F2cos()(2)

From (1) and (2)

F1sin()+F2cos()=1.62(3)

Net Force in the x-direction is

F1cos()=F2sin()=>(4)

From (3) and (4)

F2tan()sin()+F2cos()=1.62

F2=1.62tan()sin()+cos().(5)

The angle is

=arcsin2.253=48.6

Substitutes in (5) yields

F2=1.07N

Substitutes in (4) yields

F1=1.07cos(48.6)sin(48.6)=0.94N

Hence the F2=1.07NandF1=0.94N

03

Calculation of Charges

The forces are electric forces between charges so to get q1

F1=kQq1L2..(6)

Substitutes in (6) yields

q1=0.94(0.03)291091.75106=5.37108C

And hence the charge is positive.

F2=kQq2L2..>(7)

Substitute in (7) yields

q2=1.07(0.03)291091.75106=6.11108C

And hence the charge is negative so q3=6.11108C.

The current in a wire varies with time according to the relationship

I=55A-(0.65As2)t2. (a) How many coulombs of charge pass a cross section of the wire in

the time interval between t=0and role="math" localid="1655721302619" t=8.0s? (b) What constant current would transport the

same charge in the same time interval?

A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current of12Athrough the body at25Vfor a very short time, usually3.0msabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?

BIO The average bulk resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0m. The conducting path between the hands can be represented approximately as a cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible bysoaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) What potential difference between thehands is needed for a lethal shock current of 100 mA ? (Note that your result shows that small potential differences produce dangerous currents when the skin is damp.) (c) With the current in part (b),what power is dissipated in the body?

Could an accelerator be built in which all the forces on the particles, for steering and for increasing speed, are magnetic forces? Why or why not?

In the circuit of Fig. E25.30, the 5.0 鈩 resistor is removed and replaced by a resistor of unknown resistance R. When this is done, an ideal voltmeter connected across the points band creads 1.9 V. Find (a) the current in the circuit and (b) the resistance R. (c) Graph the potential rises and drops in this circuit (see Fig. 25.20).
