Two non-conducting spheres of radii R1 and R2 are uniformly charged with charge densities p1 and p2 , respectively. They are separated at center-to-center distance a (see below). Find the electric field at point P located at a distance r from the center of sphere 1 and is in the direction from the line joining the two spheres assuming their charge densities are not affected by the presence of the other sphere. (Hint: Work one sphere at a time and use the superposition principle.)
What is the electrostatic force on the particle at the lower-right-hand corner of the square shown here? Write the result in terms of the quantities given in the problem (q, a, and k (Coulomb’s constant). Don’t forget to include both the magnitude and the direction of the net force on that charge.
I'm a little confused here. Why is E = (1/e0) *integral row dx? Isn't Integral(E dA) = Qenc/e0 = integral (row dV)/e0. I'm not sure if what you wrote follows from Gauss' Law. Where did you expression from for the junction potentional? I don't see it my book or anywhere else.
An uncharged spherical conductor S of radius R has two spherical cavities A and B of radii a and b, respectively as shown below. Two point charges +qa and +qb are placed at the center of the two cavities by using non-conducting supports. In addition, a point charge +q0 is placed outside at a distance r from the center of the sphere. (a) Draw approximate charge distributions in the metal although metal sphere has no net charge. (b) Draw electric field lines. Draw enough lines to represent all distinctly different places.
Consider two concentric insulating cylinders of infinite length. The inner cylinder is solid with radius R, while the outer cylinder is a hollow shell with inner radius a and outer radius b. Both cylinders have the same volume charge density of +ρ. Using Gauss’s Law, find the electric field as a function of r (where r= 0 at the central axis) in the interval a≤r < b. Note: Your final equation should be in terms of given parameters of ρ,a,b,R, and r.
A large non-conducting slab of area A and thickness d has a charge density rho=Cx^4. The origin is through the center of the slab. That is to say, it bisects the slab into two equal volumes of d/2 thickness and with an area of A, with -d/2 to the left of x=0, and d/2 to the right of x=0. Express all answers in terms of C, x, and any known constants. Gaussian surface 1 (cylinder) is located such that its volume encompasses the charge contained within the slab. Apply Gauss's Law to cylinder 1 to determine the electric field to the left and to the right of the slab. Make sure you incude the domains over which the field is valid.
In this problem, we will go through the famous experiment led by Robert A. Millikan. The charge of the electron that he calculated by this experiment is 0.6% off from the currently accepted value, that too due to the imprecise value of viscosity of air known at the time. This experiment demonstrates that the electric charge of the oil droplet is some integer multiple of electron charge - thereby establishing charge quantization as an experimental fact. It's a free-body diagram. Here, we depict an oil droplet that is falling downwards due to gravity in an air medium. The droplet experiences an upward force due to air friction. When the two forces are on the droplet balance, the droplet falls steadily with velocity vd. Find the friction coefficient k. Given the symbolic expression for the mass of the oil droplet m, acceleration due to gravity g, downward terminal velocity of the droplet vd. Give the answer in terms of these variables. a) Write the mathematical expression for the…
A charge q is placed in the cavity of a conductor as shown below. Will a charge outside the conductor experience an electric field due to the presence of q? The conductor in the preceding figure has an excess charge of -5.0 uC. If a 2.0 uC point charge is placed in the cavity, what is the net charge on the surface of the cavity and on the outer surface of the conductor?
Charge is distributed throughout a very long cylindrical volume of radius R such that the charge density increases with the distance r from the central axis of the cylinder according to p=ar , where a is a constant. Show that the field of this charge distribution is directed radially with respect to the cylinder and that E=ar230 (rR); E=aR330r (rR).
To obtain the value of an unknown electrical charge, a group performed an experiment. From the graph of the electric potential (voltage) V in volts, as a function of the inverse distance (1/r) in m^-1, the group obtained an angular coefficient 6838 Nm^2/C by the linear equation of the best straight line. Knowing that V=(kq)/r, calculate the value of the electric charge, in nC (nanocoulomb), from the slope provided by the best line. Round the answer to a whole number. Use: k = 8.9876 x 10^9 N⋅m^2⋅C^−2
