Here are the solutions to the questions:

Three charges are arranged as shown in Fig below Find the force on the charge Q3 assuming that, Q1 is -9.0 * 10^-6 C, Q2 is 3 * 10^-6 C and Q3 is -6 * 10^-6 C when Q1 and Q3 are 2.0 m from Q2. /3 marks
Given:
Q1=−9.0×10−6 CQ_1 = -9.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C}
Q2=+3.0×10−6 CQ_2 = +3.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C}
Q3=−6.0×10−6 CQ_3 = -6.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C}
Distance between Q1Q_1 and Q2Q_2, r12=2.0 mr_{12} = 2.0 \text{ m}
Distance between Q2Q_2 and Q3Q_3, r23=2.0 mr_{23} = 2.0 \text{ m}
Distance between Q1Q_1 and Q3Q_3, r13=r12+r23=2.0 m+2.0 m=4.0 mr_{13} = r_{12} + r_{23} = 2.0 \text{ m} + 2.0 \text{ m} = 4.0 \text{ m}
Coulomb's constant, k=8.99×109 N m2 C−2k = 8.99 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}

  1. Calculate the force F13F_{13} exerted by Q1Q_1 on Q3Q_3.

    Since Q1Q_1 and Q3Q_3 are both negative, they repel each other. The force F13F_{13} on Q3Q_3 is directed to the right.

    F13=k∣Q1Q3∣r132F_{13} = k \frac{|Q_1 Q_3|}{r_{13}^2} F13=(8.99×109 N m2 C−2)∣(−9.0×10−6 C)(−6.0×10−6 C)∣(4.0 m)2F_{13} = (8.99 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}) \frac{|(-9.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C})(-6.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C})|}{(4.0 \text{ m})^2} F13=(8.99×109)54.0×10−1216.0F_{13} = (8.99 \times 10^9) \frac{54.0 \times 10^{-12}}{16.0} F13=0.03034125 NF_{13} = 0.03034125 \text{ N}
  2. Calculate the force F23F_{23} exerted by Q2Q_2 on Q3Q_3.

    Since Q2Q_2 is positive and Q3Q_3 is negative, they attract each other. The force F23F_{23} on Q3Q_3 is directed to the left.

    F23=k∣Q2Q3∣r232F_{23} = k \frac{|Q_2 Q_3|}{r_{23}^2} F23=(8.99×109 N m2 C−2)∣(3.0×10−6 C)(−6.0×10−6 C)∣(2.0 m)2F_{23} = (8.99 \times 10^9 \text{ N m}^2 \text{ C}^{-2}) \frac{|(3.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C})(-6.0 \times 10^{-6} \text{ C})|}{(2.0 \text{ m})^2} F23=(8.99×109)18.0×10−124.0F_{23} = (8.99 \times 10^9) \frac{18.0 \times 10^{-12}}{4.0} F23=0.040455 NF_{23} = 0.040455 \text{ N}
  3. Calculate the net force on Q3Q_3.

    Let the direction to the right be positive.

    Fnet=F13−F23F_{net} = F_{13} - F_{23} Fnet=0.03034125 N−0.040455 NF_{net} = 0.03034125 \text{ N} - 0.040455 \text{ N} Fnet=−0.01011375 NF_{net} = -0.01011375 \text{ N}

    The negative sign indicates the net force is directed to the left.
    The net force on Q3Q_3 is 0.010 N to the left\boxed{\text{0.010 N to the left}}.

    physical properties that affect resistance of a metal wire. /3 marks
    The physical properties that affect the resistance of a metal wire are:

    • The length of the wire: Resistance is directly proportional to length.
    • The cross-sectional area of the wire: Resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area.
    • The type of material (resistivity): Different materials have different inherent resistivities.
    • The temperature of the wire: For most metals, resistance increases with temperature.

    graph of current against p.d for the following; /1 mark

    • For a resistor, the graph of current (I) against potential difference (p.d or V) is a straight line passing through the origin, indicating a constant resistance (Ohm's Law).
    • For a diode, the graph is non-linear. It shows very little current flow in reverse bias, and in forward bias, current only starts to flow significantly after a certain threshold voltage (cut-in voltage) is reached, then increases exponentially.
