At the points of the angles of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 30 cm, the electric charges are 2uC, 2 uC, and 3uC, respectively. What is the coulomb force experienced by a 3uC charge? (with pictures)
PLEASE HELP SIR, STEP BY STEP, WITH PICTURE, THX.
In what way or ways would the physical universe be different if protons were negatively charged and electrons were
positively charged?
Gravity would be a repulsive force instead of an attractive one.
Since protons are more massive, the universe would acquire a net negative charge.
The value of the Coulomb constant k would change.
Like charges would attract, and opposite charges would repel.
Atoms would consist of protons orbiting a nucleus composed of electrons and neutrons.
There would be no difference other than the sign on the charged particles.
please help asap!

- If a large enough electric field is applied, even an insulator will conduct an electric current, as is evident in lightning discharges through the air. Explain how this happens, taking into account the opposite charges in an atom and how ionization occurs.arrow_forwardSuppose a capacitor consists of two coaxial thin cylindrical conductors. The inner cylinder of radius ra has a charge of +Q, while the outer cylinder of radius rh has charge -Q. srb The electric field E at a radial distance r from the central axis is given by the function: E = ge/d0 + B/r + bo where alpha (a)., beta (8), ao and bo are constants. Find an expression for its capacitance. First, let us derive the potential difference Voh between the two conductors. The potential difference is related to the electric field by: Edr = - Edr Calculating the antiderivative or indefinite integral, Vab = (-aageao + B + bo By definition, the capacitance Cis related to the charge and potential difference by: C = Evaluating with the upper and lower limits of integration for Vab, then simplifying: C = Q/( (e""b/ao - eTala0) + ß In ) + bo (arrow_forwardRobert Millikan was an American physicist who in 1909 performed a classic experiment involving charged oil drops. Millikan adjusted the voltage applied between two metal plates in order to suspend charged drops in the resulting electric field. For a suspended drop, the electrostatic force directed up exactly balances out the weight of the drop. Millikan ultimately determined the charge on an electron and that charge is quantized. This means that charge comes in increments, discrete amounts, rather than any amount.A NEGATIVELY-charged oil drop is suspended between two plates of opposite charge by an electric field of 603 newtons per coulomb. The drop is determined to have a mass of 8.86 x 10-17 kilograms. a. What is the charge on the drop? Include units in your answer.arrow_forward

Hint: Charge is quantized, so this answer must be just an integer.arrow_forwardAtoms have an equal number of electrons and protons so are electrically neutral. Atoms that have a net electrical charge are known as "ions". Positive ions - have "missing" electrons Negative ions - have "excess" electrons 3. The net charge of an object can be found be summing the individual charges. Since charge is quantized, all net charges are just an integer multiple of the elementary charge. q-ne where q is the net charge and n is an integer.
