A negative charge -Q is placed inside the cavity of a hollow metal solid. The outside of the solid is grounded by connecting a conducting wire between it and the earth.
A) Is any excess charge induced on the inner surface of the metal? Is there any excess charge on the outside of the metal? Why or why not?
B) Can an electric field due to the charge -Q be measured from the outside of the solid? Is it reasonable to say that the grounded conductor has shielded the region outside the conductor from the effects of -Q? In principle, could the same thing be done for gravity? Why or why not?
A 8.20 μC charged 1.00 g cork ball is suspended vertically on a 1.100 m long light string in the presence of a uniform downward-directed electric field of magnitude E = 8.50x105 N/C. If the ball is displaced slightly from the vertical, it oscillates like a simple pendulum. (a) What would be the period be if there was no electric field?
A block having mass m and charge + Q is connected to an insulating spring having a force constant k . The block lies on a frictionless, insulating, horizontal track, and the system is immersed in a uniform electric field of magnitude E directed as shown in Figure P24.6. The block is released from rest when the spring is unstretched (at x = 0). We wish to show that the ensuing motion of the block is simple harmonic. (a) Consider the system of the block, the spring, and the electric field. Is this system isolated or nonisolated? (b) What kinds of potential energy exist within this system? (c) Call the initial configuration of the system that existing just as the block is released from rest. The final configuration is when the block momentarily comes to rest again. What is the value of x when the block comes to rest momentarily? (d) At some value of x we will call x = x 0 , the block has zero net force on it. What analysis model describes the particle in this situation? (c) What is the…
