A straight, non-conducting plastic wire 8.50 cm long carries a charge density of 175 nC/m distributed uniformly along its length. It is lying on a horizontal tabletop. a) Find the magnitude and direction of

and the direction is vertically upward

Explanation:

To find the magnitude & direction which was being produced at a given point of 6.00 cm which is directly above the midpoint.

Given that:

the wire length = 8.50 cm = 8.5 × 10⁻² m

the charge density λ = 175 n C/m = 175 ×10⁻⁹ C/m

distance x = 6.00 cm = 0.006 m

Assume that  N be the point at distance x situated directly above the midpoint

Then, the linear expression for the linear charge density is:

the charge

For the electric field at point N;

where;

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)

electrical potential energy =0.072 j

explanation:

electrical potential energy is given by

u= q δv

q= charge=6 c

δv= potential difference and is given by

δv= e d

e= electric field

d= distance=5 mm=0.005 m

δv=2.4 (0.005)=0.012 v

now electric potential energy= u= q δv

u=6 (0.012)

u=0.072 j
