The Second Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary is currently available as a 20-volume print edition and costs $895. Imagine that the publishers would like to distribute a lower-cost version of the dictionary that still contains all of the same words, but in a smaller number of volumes. To accomplish this, they decide to reduce the font size to 1/3 of the original font size and include a simple biconvex single-lens magnifier with the new reduced-volume set. (a) Fully specify a design for the required single lens magnifier. (b) If the publishers had wanted to severely reduce the font size to 1/15 of the original size, could they still supply a single-lens magnifier for the customers to use? Specify a design for such a magnifier and identify any physical and/or optical performance limitations that arise. What is the maximum diameter possible for this magnifying lens?

A satellite is in an elliptical orbit around the earth. The distance from the satellite to the center of the earth ranges from 7.2 Mm at perigee (where the speed is 8.0 km/s) to 9.9 Mm at apogee.

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION AND DRAW DIAGRAM FOR EACH PART OF QUESTION
Q1(A).Two point charges are located on the x axis. The first is a charge +Q at x = a. The second is an unknown charge located at x = -3a. The net electric field these charges produce at the origin has a magnitude of 2keQ/a2. What are the two possible values of the unknown charge?
Q1(B)In Fig. 3, particle 1 of charge +1 μC and particle 2 of
charge -3.0 μC are held at
separation L =10.0 cm on an x axis. If particle 3 of unknown charge
q3 is to be located such that the net
electrostatic force on it from particles 1 and 2 is zero, what must
be the (a) x and (b) y coordinates of
particle 3?
Q1(C)In Fig. 2, two identical, electrically isolated conducting
spheres A and B are separated
by a (center-to-center) distance ‘a’ that is large compared to the
spheres. Sphere A has a positive charge
of ∆Q, and sphere B is electrically neutral. Initially, there is no
electrostatic force between the spheres.
(The large separation means there is no induced charge.)
(a) Suppose the spheres are connected for a moment by a conducting
wire. The wire is
thin enough so that any net charge on it is negligible. What is the
electrostatic force
between the spheres after the wire is removed?
(b) Suppose sphere A is grounded momentarily, and then the ground
connection is
removed. What now is the electrostatic force between the
spheres?
the question on its own don't have any figures please do make diagrams where necessary for better understanding of answers

A 100 pF capacitor has circular plates of 10.0 cm radius that
are 5.0 mm apart and have air beteween them. The capacitor is
charged by connecting it to a 12.0 V battery through a 1.0 ohms
resistor.
a) Determine the current through the plates at t = 0 (when the battery is connected)
b) Determine the current through the plates at t = 60s?
c) Determine the rate at which the electric field between the plates changes at t= 0 and t = 60s
d) Determine the magnetic field between the plates at t = 0 and at t = 60s
Don't really care about the answers as much, but more about what formulas are being used.

Two parallel conducting plates are oriented in an ? − ? coordinate system. The plates are separated by a distance ? = 0.05 ?, and the origin of the coordinate system is halfway between the plates. The plate separation is very small compared to the size of the plates. The left plate is at a potential ?L = 50 ?, and the right plate is at a potential ?R = 10 ?.
1. A proton at the origin begins at rest. Use conservation of energy to find its velocity when it hits one of the plates. Which plate does it hit?
2. An electron at the origin begins with an initial velocity ?⃗? = (4 × 106 ?/?)?̂. Use conservation of energy to find its velocity when it hits the right plate?
3. What is the acceleration of a proton at the origin? Express your answer in unit vector notation.

10) A solid disk with a c of 1/2, mass of 2 kg, and radius of 1.4 meters lies on a horizontally (so the normal force and weight can be ignored). A force of 9 Newtons is applied 0.37 meters directly to the right of center in the +x direction, a force of 25 Newtons is applied 0.80 meters directly below of center in the +x direction, and a force of 9 Newtons is applied at the edge of the disk directly above the center in the +x direction. Again, ignoring the weight and normal force, if the disk starts from rest, what is the angular velocity of the disk after these forces are applied for 3 seconds, in rad/s? If clockwise, include a negative sign.

In the “race” of conceptual problem 5 (and similar to what we did in lab), the uniform cylinder, uniform sphere, and cylindrical hoop race down a 2 meter long ramp tilted 10o to the horizontal. Each object has the same mass (10.0 kg) and radius (10.0 cm). Assume no slippage between the ramp and object and the coefficient of friction = 0.5. Calculate the following: (a) the final velocity of each (b) the center of mass acceleration of each object, (c), the time required for each object to race down the ramp, (d) the frictional force acting on each object. Fill in the table below with the numerical values (but make sure you show how you obtained the necessary relationships!).
