Willa, the cartoon witch, dusts her crystal ball with her silk scarf, causing it to become charged with 5.0 x 10^ -9 C. Willa then stares into the crystal ball and the wart on the end of her nose experiences an electric field strengths of 2200 N/C. How far is the trip of her nose from the center of the crystal ball?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The distance between the tip of her nose from the center of the crystal ball is 14.3 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, [tex]q=5\times 10^{-9}\ C[/tex]

The end of her nose experiences an electric field strengths of 2200 N/C

It is required to find the distance between the tip of her nose from the center of the crystal ball. The formula of the electric field is given by :

[tex]E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}[/tex]

r is distance

[tex]r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq}{E}} \\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 5\times 10^{-9}}{2200}} \\\\r=0.143\ m\\\\r=14.3\ cm[/tex]

So, the distance between the tip of her nose from the center of the crystal ball is 14.3 cm.
