A parallel plate capacitor in a vacuum has stored 3.03 μJ of energydue to charge separation between its plates. If its capacitance is 66.7μF and the plate separation distance is 0.213 mm, find the electric fieldmagnitude in between the plates.
Since the potential of a perfect conducting sphere with a radius of 3.5 cm in empty space is 10 V, calculate the value of the potentials at a distance of 13.3 cm from the center of the sphere as Volts in ke.
In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the twentieth century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward a gold nucleus, and its path was substantially deflected by the Coulomb interaction. If theenergy of the doubly charged alpha nucleus was 5.00 MeV, how close to the gold nucleus (79 protons) could it come before being deflected?
A certain parallel-plate capacitor consists of two plates, each with area 200 cm2, separated by a 0.4cm air gap. a) Compute its capacitance. b) If the capacitor is connected across a 500 V source, find thecharge on it, the energy stored in it, and the value of E (electric field) between the plates. c) If a liquidwith K=2.60 is poured between the plates so as to fill the air gap, how much additional charge will flowonto the capacitor from the 500 V source?
In the early 1900's Robert Millikan discovered the peculiar property that charge came in little packets, no smaller than e = 1.602 x 10-19 C -- he had measured the charge of the electron. Here's (roughly) how he did it. He removed an electron from an initially neutral droplet of oil with diameter 0.5 ??μm. In a vacuum, he positioned the droplet between two metallic plates separated by 6 mm and fiddled with the potential (voltage) across the plates until the droplet would hover against the force of gravity. Droplets of this size with +e charge would hover, but only for a particular voltage (otherwise they would sink or rise). Given the parameters stated here, and the fact that the density of the oil was 831 kg/m3, what was the voltage that made the droplets hover? (give your answer with 0.1 V precision)
