Concept explainers
(a)
To find: the asymptotes of the graph as function of distance two positive charge.
(a)
Answer to Problem 46E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Concept used:
An asymptote is a line that a curve approaches, as it heads towards infinity.
The distance between the curve and the asymptote tends to zero as it heads to infinity.
Coulomb law:
Calculation:
Like charges repel and unlike charges attract. Coulomb law states that the force
Where
Now it has to graph
From the above graph, it has the asymptotes of the graph are
Hence,
(b)
To find: the meaning of having asymptote in terms of the problem.
(b)
Answer to Problem 46E
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Concept used:
An asymptote is a line that a curve approaches, as it heads towards infinity.
The distance between the curve and the asymptote tends to zero as it heads to infinity.
Coulomb law:
Calculation:
If the distance between the two charges is increased then the force
Hence, as
