The strength of the source charge's electric field could be measured by any other charge placed somewhere in its surroundings. The charge that is used to measure the electric field strength is referred to as a test charge since it is used to test the field strength. The test charge has a quantity of charge denoted by the symbol q.

Explanation:

Electric field strength is a vector quantity; it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of the electric field strength is defined in terms of how it is measured. Let's suppose that an electric charge can be denoted by the symbol Q. This electric charge creates an electric field; since Q is the source of the electric field, we will refer to it as the source charge. The strength of the source charge's electric field could be measured by any other charge placed somewhere in its surroundings. The charge that is used to measure the electric field strength is referred to as a test charge since it is used to test the field strength. The test charge has a quantity of charge denoted by the symbol q. When placed within the electric field, the test charge will experience an electric force - either attractive or repulsive. As is usually the case, this force will be denoted by the symbol F. The magnitude of the electric field is simply defined as the force per charge on the test charge.

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

$p(t)=0.3t^2+6t+80$

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

$p(0)=0+0+80=80$

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

$p(t)=2\times 80=160$

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

$160=0.3t^2+6t+80\\\\160-80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\80=0.3t^2+6t\\\\0.3t^2+6t-80=0\\\\\text{using quadratic formula ,we get }\\\\t_{1,\: 2}=\frac{-60\pm \sqrt{60^2-4\cdot \: 3\cdot \: 800}}{2\cdot \: 3}\\\\t=-29.14\ and\ t=9.149$

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
