Question

Does the force on a charge due to another charge depend on the charges present nearby?

✓

Answer

Coulomb's Law states that the force between two charged particle is given by,$\text{F}=\frac{\text{q}_1\text{q}_2}{4\pi\in_0\text{r}^2}$
Where, $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the charges on the charged particles . r = separation between the charged particles.$\in_0$ = parmittivity of free space.
According to the Law of Superposition, the electrostatic force between two charged particles are unaffected due to the presence of other charges.

To maintain a rotor at a uniform angular speed of $200rad s^{-1}$, an engine needs to transmit a torque of $180Nm$. What is the power required by the engine? (Note: uniform angular velocity in the absence of friction implies zero torque. In practice, applied torque is needed to counter frictional torque). Assume that the engine is 100% efficient.
