Fig.25-39 represents two air-filled cylindrical capacitors connected in series across a battery with potential V = 10 VCapacitor 1 has an inner plate radius of 5.0mm an outer plate radius of 1.5 cmand a length of 5.0 cm.Capacitor 2 has an inner plate radius of 2.5mman outer plate radius of 1.0 cmand a length of 9.0 cm. The outer plate of capacitor 2 is a conducting organic membrane that can be stretched, and the capacitor can be inflated to increase the plate separation. If the outer plate radius is increased to 2.5 cmby inflation, (a) how many electrons move through point P and (b) do they move toward or away from the battery?

  2. The electrons move away from the battery.

Step by step solution

Step 1: Given

V=10Va1=5.0mmb1=1.5cmL1=5cma2=2.5mmb2=1cmb2'=2.5cm

Determining the concept

By using the formula of capacitance for cylindrical capacitors, find the capacitance of both the capacitors. By using the series combination of capacitors, find the equivalent capacitance of the circuit. Then find the charge on the positive plate. Similarly, after modifying capacitor 2, find the new charge on the positive plate, and then the charge is transferred from the battery. Get the total number of the electron by dividing the charge by the charge of an electron.

Formulae are as follows:

C=2蟿蟿蔚0Llnba

For series combination
1Ceq=j=1n1Cjq=CV

Where C is capacitance, V is the potential difference, q is the charge, L is length, and a and b are the radii.

(a) Determining the number of electrons moving through point P

According to the equation 25 - 14, the capacitance for the cylindrical capacitor is given by,

C=2蟿蟿蔚0Llnba

So, find the capacitance of the capacitor 1 by,

C1=2蟿蟿蔚0L1lnb1a1

By substituting the values,

C1=2蟿蟿8.8510-12F/m510-2mln1.510-2m510-3m=2.7810-12ln(3)=2.5310-12F1pF10-12F=2.53pF

Similarly, find the capacitance of the capacitor 2 by,

C2=2蟿蟿蔚0L2lnb2a2

By substituting the values,

e

C2=51012Fln4=3.6110-12F1pF10-12F=3.61pF

Since C1andC2are connected in series, their equivalent capacitance can be calculated.

For series combination,1Ceq=j=1n1Cj

1C12=1C1+1C2C12=C1C2C1+C2C12=2.53pF3.61pF2.53pF3.61pFC12=1.49pF

Let鈥檚 find the charge on the positive plate of each capacitor.

q=C12V=1.49pF10V=14.9pC

Now, the capacitor 2 is modified as described in the problem. So, the new capacitance for capacitor 2 is,

role="math" localid="1661751513348" C2'=2蟿蟿蔚0L2lnb2'/a2Bysubstitutingthevalues,C2'=2蟿蟿(8.8510-12F/m)910-12mln2.510-2m2.510-3m=5-10-12Fln(10)=2.17pF

So, the new equivalent capacitance is,

C12'=C1C2'C1+C2'=2.53pF2.17pF2.53pF+1.17pF=1.17pF

Now, the new charge on the positive plate is,

q'=C12'V=1.17pF10V=11.7pC

So, the charge transfer from thebattery is,

Q=q-q'=14.9pC-11.7pC=3.2pC

Get the total number of electrons that pass through point P by dividing this charge by the charge of an electron,

N=3.210-12C1.610-19C=2107

Hence, the number of an electron moving through point P is 2107.

04

(b) Determining if they move toward or away from the battery

The plate closest to point P is a positive plate and it has suffered a decrease in the positive charges. So from the figure, the electrons move rightward to the battery i.e. they move away from the battery.

Hence, the electrons moveaway fromthe battery.

Therefore, by using the formula for the capacitance of the cylindrical capacitor, find the number of electrons moving through point P and their direction.
