- Repeat the preceding problem, with E=2xi+3x2k.arrow_forwardUsing the Dirac-delta function, find the potential and electric field at the point (0,0,Z) of a homogeneously charged disk of radius a with total charge Q.arrow_forwardA sphere of radius R centered at the origin carries charge density ρ(r, θ) = k*(R/r^ 2) (R − 2r) sin θ where k is a constant, and r, θ are the usual spherical coordinates. Use the multipole expansion to find the approximate potential for points on the z-axis far from the sphere (z >> R).arrow_forward
- Show if the potential changes in the following relation V(r) In this case, we only have a non-circular closed path when n = -2 .arrow_forwardSince 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.arrow_forwardConsider a uniformly charged ring in the xy plane, centered at the origin. The ring has radius a and positive charge q distributed evenly along its circumference. Imagine a small metal ball of mass m and negative charge −q0. The ball is released from rest at the point (0,0,d) and constrained to move along the z axis, with no damping. If 0<d≪a, what will be the ball's subsequent trajectory? repelled from the origin attracted toward the origin and coming to rest oscillating along the z axis between z=d and z=−d circling around the z axis at z=darrow_forward

What if the sphere is replaced with a hollow spherical conductor of charge -Q and radius R, what would the energy required be then? Hint: you don’t have to re-derive the potential due to a charged sphere again.arrow_forwardFind the potential inside and outside a uniformly charged solid spherewhose radius is R and whose total charge is q. Use infinity as your reference point.Compute the gradient of V in each region, and check that it yields the correct field.Sketch V (r).arrow_forward
- Compute for the absolute potential for every of the following distances from a charge of 2 μC: whenr = 100 mm and r = 500 mm. How much work is needed to carry a 0.05 μC charge from the point at r =100 mm to that at r = 100 mm?arrow_forwardA proton circulates in a cyclotron, beginning approximatelyat rest at the center.Whenever it passes through the gap betweendees, the electric potential difference between the dees is 200 V.(a) By how much does its kinetic energy increase with each passagethrough the gap? (b) What is its kinetic energy as it completes100 passes through the gap? Let r100 be the radius of the proton’scircular path as it completes those 100 passes and enters a dee,and let r101 be its next radius, as it enters a dee the next time. (c) Bywhat percentage does the radius increase when it changes fromr100 to r101? That is, what is percentage increase r101 - r100/r100 100%?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding How would the above limit change with a uniformly rectangle instead of a disk?arrow_forward
