- (a) What is the final speed of an electron accelerated from rest through a voltage of 25.0 MV by a negatively charged Van de Graff terminal? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible?arrow_forwardAn electrophorus is a device developed more than 200 years ago for the purpose of charging objects. The insulator on top of a pedestal is rubbed with a cloth, such as wool (Fig. P23.18A). A conductor is placed on top of the insulator, and the conductor is connected to ground by a conducting wire (Fig. P23.18B). (The conductor has an insulating handle, so charge cannot be transferred between the person and the conductor.) The conductor is then removed (Fig. P23.18C). The conductor may then be used to transfer charge to other objects. If the insulators charge after being Ribbed with the wool is negative, what is the charge of the conductor when it is removed?arrow_forwardLightning can be studied with a Van de Graaff generator, which consists of a spherical dome on which charge is continuously deposited by a moving belt. Charge can be added until the electric field at the surface of the dome becomes equal to the dielectric strength of air. Any more charge leaks off in sparks as shown in Figure P25.52. Assume the dome has a diameter of 30.0 cm and is surrounded by dry air with a "breakdown" electric field of 3.00 106 V/m. (a) What is the maximum potential of the dome? (b) What is the maximum charge on the dome?arrow_forward
- Why do we need to be careful about work done on the system versus work done by the system in calculations?arrow_forwardTwo large, parallel metal plates, each of area A, are oriented horizontally and separated by a distance 3d. A grounded conducting wire joins them, and initially each plate carries no charge. Now a third identical plate carrying charge Q is inserted between the two plates, parallel to them and located a distance d from the upper plate as shown in Figure P20.84. (a) What induced charge appears on each of the two original plates? (b) What potential difference appears between the middle plate and each of the other plates? Figure P20.84arrow_forward
