What is the energy required to bring a point charge ? from very far to a distance ? from the center of an insulating sphere of radius ? with charge ?, assuming uniform charge density and d > R? 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.
A parallel plate capacitor with plate area 1.5 m2, and plate separation 0.002 cm, and filled with neoprene rubber, has 9 V applied between the plates. What is the charge value Q for this setup?
Please enter your value in units of micro Coulombs. This means, for example, if your answer is 9 x 10-6 C, you need to enter 9 into the box below.
Show that electric potential for a shell whose radius is R, has charge q uniformly distributed on its entire surface, is the same as electric potential for a conductor (Solid) has radius R and charge q.
