In Franklins time, a device for storing electric potential energy was called a Leyden jar. Today, we call that device a capacitor. Another term that is sometimes used is condenser. What ideas do these three terms bring to mind? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
When a Leyden jar is charged by a hand generator (Fig. 27.1, page 828), the work done by the person turning the crank is stored as electric potential energy in the jar. When a capacitor is charged by a battery, where does the electric potential energy come from?

(C) How could this charge distribution be of use to the ray?

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.
