Negative charge -Q is distributed uniformly around a quarter-circle of radius a that lies in the first quadrant, with the center of curvature at the origin. Find the x- and y-components of the net electric field at the origin.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The x- and y- component of the net electric field at the origin is∈x=∈y=Q2π2∈0a2

Step by step solution

01

Formula

The formula for the quadrant, with the center of curvature at the origin

Therefore, for x- and y- components;

When a resistor with resistance Ris connected to a 1.50-V flashlight battery, the resistor consumes 0.0625 W of electrical power. (Throughout, assume that each battery has negligible internal resistance.) (a) What power does the resistor consume if it is connected to a 12.6-V car battery? Assume that Rremains constant when the power consumption changes. (b) The resistor is connected to a battery and consumes 5.00 W. What is the voltage of this battery?

An alpha particle (a He nucleus containing two protons and two neutrons and having a mass of 6.64×10-7kg) travelling horizontally at 35.6km/senter a uniform, vertical,1.80-T magnetic field.(a) What is the diameter of the path followed by this alpha particle? (b) what effect does the magnetic field have on the speed of the particle? (c) What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the alpha particle while it is in the magnetic field? (d) explain why the speed of the particle does not change even though an unbalanced external force acts on it.

When two point charges of equal mass and charge arereleased on a frictionless table, each has an initial acceleration(magnitude) a0. If instead you keep one fixed and release the otherone, what will be its initial acceleration: a0,2a0,or a0/2? Explain.
