Ответ:
(a) the electric field of the Earth will be directed towards the negatively charged water droplet.
(b) E = (9.8*m)/q
Explanation:
Part (a) the direction of the Earth’s electric field
Electric field is always directed towards negatively charged objects.
The water droplet has a negative charge ‘-q’, therefore the electric field of the Earth will be directed towards the negatively charged water droplet.
Part (b) an expression for the Earth’s electric field in terms of the mass and charge of the droplet
The magnitude of Electric field is given as;
E = F/q
where;
f is force and q is charge
Also from Newton's law, F = mg
where;
m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
E = F/q = mg/q
E = (9.8*m)/q, Electric field in terms of mass and charge of the droplet.
Ответ:
1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i
1 / image distance + 1 / object distance = 1 focal length
If the object distance is large the image will be at about the focal length
The value of 1 / f is fixed for any one particular lense
As the object distance decreases the image must increase
The above equation can also be written as
o i / (i + o) = f or i / (i / o + 1) = f
If for instance o was very large the image would be at the focal length
