A uniform electric field of magnitude 325 V/m is directed in the negative y direction in Figure P25.5. The coordinates of point are (-0.200, -0.300) m, and those of point are (0.400. 0.500) m. Calculate the electric potential difference V - V using the dashed-line path.
Shown below are two concentric spherical shells of negligible thicknesses and radii R1and R2The inner and outer shell carry net charges q1and q2 respectively where both q1 and q2 positive. What is the electric potential in the regions potential in the regions (a) r R2?
Two charges 20Cand+2.0C are separated by 4.0 cm on the z-axis symmetrically about origin, with the positive one uppermost. Two space points of interest and P1andP2 are located 3.0 cm and 30 cm from origin at an angle 30 with respect to the z-axis. Evaluate electric potentials at P1andP2 and in two ways: (a) Using the exact formula for point charges, and (b) rising the approximate dipole potential formula.
A small spherical pith ball of radius 0.50 cm is painted with a silver paint and then -10 C of charge is placed on it. The charged pith ball is put at the center of a gold spherical shell of inner radius 2.0 cm and outer radius 2.2 cm. (a) Find the electric potential of the gold shell with respect to zero potential at infinity, (b) How much charge should you put on the gold shell if you want to make its potential 100 V?
What is the potential 0.5301010 m from a proton (the average distance between the proton and electron in a hydrogen atom)?
A long thin wire is used in laser printers to charge the photoreceptor before exposure to light. This is done by applying a large potential difference between the wire and the photoreceptor. a. Use Equation 26.23, V(r)=20lnRr to determine a relationship between the electric potential V and the magnitude of the electric field E at a distance r from the center of the wire of radius R (r R). b. Determine the electric potential at a distance of 2.0 mm from the surface of a wire of radius R = 0.80 mm that will produce an electric field of 1.8 106 V/m at that point.
It is shown in Example 24.7 that the potential at a point P a distance a above one end of a uniformly charged rod of length lying along the x axis is V=keQlln(l+a2+l2a) Use this result to derive an expression for the y component of the electric field at P.
Your friend gets really excited by the idea of making a lightning rod or maybe just a sparking toy by connecting two spheres as shown in Figure 7.39, and making R2so small that the electric field is greater than the dielectric strength of air, just from the usual 150 V/m electric field near the surface of the Earth. If R1is 10 cm. how small does R2to be, and does this seem practical? (Hint: recall the calculation for electric field at the surface of a conductor from Gauss's Law.)
What is the strength of the electric field in a region where the electric potential is constant?
In a certain region of space, a uniform electric field is in the x direction. A particle with negative charge is carried from x = 20.0 cm to x = 60.0 cm. (i) Does the electric potential energy of the charge-field system (a) increase, (b) remain constant, (c) decrease, or (d) change unpredictably? (ii) Has the particle moved to a position where the electric potential is (a) higher than before, (b) unchanged, (c) lower than before, or (d) unpredictable?
Can a particle move in a direction of increasing electric potential, yet have its electric potential energy decrease? Explain
