Two charges, qA and qB, are separated by a distance, r, and exert a force, F, on each other. What new force will exist for the following scenario? Your answer should be given in multiples of F (i. e. 2F, ½F, etc.)

qA is doubled and r is doubled

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:

where:

is the Coulomb's constant

are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, at the beginning we have:

is the first  charge

is the second charge

r is their initial separation

So the initial force is

Later, we have:

qA is doubled and r is doubled

This means that:

is the new charge

is the new separation

So the new force is:

true

explanation:

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
