Explanation Formula used: Write the expression for the electric field. E = K q r 2 (1) Here, K is the coulombs constant with value 9 × 10 9 N ⋅ m 2 C 2 , and q is the charge, and r is the distance. Explanation: In case (a), The electric field at point 1 cancels out each other, that is, the electric field lines from both the charges are in opposite direction whereas the net electric field at point 2 is in same direction. Therefore net electric point 2 is more than that in point 1, E 2 > E 1 . In case (b), The electric field at point 1 points in the same direction, that is, in the right direction from the positive charge to the negative charge, so point 1 will have a positive electric field. The electric field at point 2 points in opposite direction so the electric field will be less than that at point 1, E 1 > E 2 . In case (c), The electric field at point 1 and point 2 are the same since the direction of the net electric field at both the points resembles each other. The positive charge and negative charge will create electric field in opposite direction. In case (d), The electric field at point 1 cancels out each other, that is, the electric field lines from both the charges are in opposite direction whereas the net electric field at point 2 is not in same direction

In the pivot assignment, we observed waves moving on a string stretched by hanging weights. We noticed that certain frequencies produced standing waves. One such situation is shown below: 0 ст Direct Measurement ©2015 Peter Bohacek I. 20 0 cm 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Which Harmonic is this? Do NOT include units! What is the wavelength of this wave in cm with only no decimal places? If the speed of this wave is 2500 cm/s, what is the frequency of this harmonic (in Hz, with NO decimal places)?
