Charge q3is located at +0.144m

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

q1=3.0μC=3.0×106Catx1=0mq2=5μC=5.0×106Catx2=0.2mq3=+8μC=8.0×106CF1=7NandK=8.989×109Nm2/C2

Step 2:

Here the third charge is positioned at the right of the first charge, as the net force exerted by the first is towards negative x-direction. As the electrical force between the first and second charge is attractive, therefore the force between the first and third charge is repulsive.

By using the Newton’s Second Law;

F1=F2on1F3on1

Applying coulomb law;

F1=Kq1q2r12Kq1q3r22

As r1is the distance between two charges,

r1=x2x1,r2=x3x1ifx1=0r1=x2andr2=x3F1=Kq1q2x22Kq1q3x32

03

Step 3:

Solving for x3

localid="1668414341308" F1Kq1q2x22=Kq1q3x32x32F1Kq1q2x22=Kq1q3x3=±Kq1q3F1Kq1q2x22

By putting all the values,

x3=±+8.988×109×3×106×8×1067.08.988×109×3×106×5×106(0.2)2x3=±0.144m

As the net force exerted by the first charge is towards the left negative x-direction, the force exerted by the third charge is a repulsive force, and it is towards the right of the first charge.

So due to the positive root x3=+0.144m

Hence, Charge q3is located at localid="1668414346613" +0.144m.

A 12.4-µF capacitor is connected through a 0.895-MΩ resistor to a constant potential difference of 60.0 V. (a) Compute the charge on the capacitor at the following times after the connections are made: 0, 5.0 s, 10.0 s, 20.0 s, and 100.0 s. (b) Compute the charging currents at the same instants. (c) Graph the results of parts (a) and (b) for t between 0 and 20 s

Section 27.2 describes a procedure for finding the direction of the magnetic force using your right hand. If you use the same procedure, but with your left hand, will you get the correct direction for the force? Explain.

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

A rule of thumb used to determine the internal resistance of a source is that it is the open circuit voltage divide by the short circuit current. Is this correct? Why or why not?

Copper has 8.5×1022free electrons per cubic meter. A 71.0-cm

length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 A of

current. (a) How much time does it take for an electron to travel the length

of the wire? (b) Repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm)

of the same length that carries the same current. (c) Generally speaking,

how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of

current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?
