Four point charges, each of magnitude 9.87 µC, are placed at the corners of a square 36.7 cm on a side. If three of the charges are positive and one is negative, find the magnitude of the force experienced by the negative charge. The value of Coulomb’s constant is 8.98755 × 109 N · m2 /C 2 . Answer in units of N.

Explanation:

charge on each corner, q = 9.87 micro coulomb

Side of square, a = 36.7 cm

Coulombic constant, K = 8.98 x 10^9 Nm²/C²

Ab = BC = CD = DA = 36.7 cm = 0.367 m

Diagonal, AC = BD = 1.414 x 0.367 = 0.52 m

Electric field at D due to charge at A

EA = 658053.74 N/C  

Electric field at D due to charge at C

EC = 658053.74 N/C  

Electric field at D due to charge at B

EB = 327783.28 N/C  

Resolve the compoents

Ex = EA + EB cos 45

Ex = 658053.74 + 327783.28 x 0.707

Ex = 889831.52 N/C

Ey = EC + EB Sin 45

Ey = 658053.74 + 327783.28 x 0.707

Ey = 889831.52 N/C

The resultant electric field is

E = 1.414 x 889831.52 = 1258221.77 N/C

the electric force on the negative charge is

F = q x E

F = 9.87 x 10^-6 x 1258221.77

F = 12.42 N

adding a(n) to an electric circuit would increase the magnetic field around a wire;

b. solenoid

a solenoid is a type of electromagnet whose purpose is to generate a controlled magnetic field.

if the purpose of the solenoid is instead to impede changes in the electric current, a solenoid can be more specifically classified as an inductor rather than an electromagnet.

it's when something is going so fast it makes a loud noise, breaking the sound barrier, for example: a jet makes a loud noise, not only cause of the jet but because they reached a point where they went so fast that you can year the noise from various parts, kinda like a police car, lets say the car was going   so fast that you hear the siren of the cop car right next to you, but the car is probably a mile a way, it's cos the siren was next to you a few seconds if you understand me
