Use the principle of superposition (Equation 1.3) to predict the electric field at the point 0.5 meters to the right and 1.5 meters above the 5 nC charge. Express your result both in terms of x and y components, and then in terms of total magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

The x component of electric field Ex = k Q / R²

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ / .5²

= 180 N .

The y component of electric field Ey = k Q / R²

The y component of electric field Ey

= 9 x 10⁹ x 5 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.5²

= 20 N

Total field =

= 181.1 N .

Angle with x axis = Tanθ = Ey / Ex = 20 / 180 = .111

= 6.33⁰

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.

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.
