Amanufacturer claims that a carpet will not generate more than 5.8 kv of static electricity what magnitude of charge would have to be transferred between a carpet and a shoe for there to be a 5.8 kv potential distance d = 2.8 mm ? approximate the area of a shoe as 30 cm x 8 cm. express your answer using two significant figures.

4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb

Explanation:

V = Voltage = 5.8 kV

d = Potential distance = 2.8 mm = 0.0028 m

A = Area = 0.3×0.08 = 0.024 m²

ε₀ = permittivity constant in a Vacuum= 8.85×10⁻¹² F/m

Magnitude of charge transferred between a carpet and a shoe is 4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
