Concept explainers

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Three point-like charges in the attached image are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure. Each side of the triangle has a length of 38.0 cm, and the point (C) is located half way between q1 and q3 along the side. Find the magnitude of the electric field at point (C). Let q1 = −2.80 µC, q2 = −3.40 µC, and q3 = −4.50 µC. Thank you.

Three point-like charges are placed as shown in the attach image, where r1 = r2 = 44.0 cm. Find the magnitude of the electric force exerted on the charge q3. Let q1 = -1.90 uC, q2 = -2.60 uC, and q3 = +3.60 uC. Thank you.

The drawing attached shows an edge-on view of two planar surfaces that intersect and are mutually perpendicular. Surface (1) has an area of 1.90 m², while Surface (2) has an area of 3.90 m². The electric field in magnitude of 215 N/C. Find the magnitude of the electric flux through surface (1 and 2 combined) if the angle theta made between the electric field with surface (2) is 30.0 degrees. Thank you.
