Step by step solution

01

Given data:

For the first spherical shell:

The radius, R1=0.5m

The charge,q1=+2.0μC=+2.0×10-6C

For the second spherical shell:

The radius, R2=1.00m

The charge, q2=1.0μC=1.0×10-6C

02

Understanding the concept:

The electric potential is define by using following formula.

V=14πεoq1R1+q2R2=kq1R1+q2R2

Here, V is the electric potential, ε0is the permittivity of free space, q1 and q2 are the charges, and R1 and R2 are the distance, k is the Coulomb’s constant having a value

03

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field E at radial distance r=4.00 m:

At a radial distance,r=4.0m

r>R2>R1

The electric field is,

E=kq1+q2r2=9.0×109×2.0×10-6+1.0×10-64.02

=1.687×103N/C

04

(b) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field E at radial distance r=7.00 m:

For radius, r=0.7m

R2>r>R1

The electric field is,

E=kq1r2=9.0×109×2.0×10-60.72=3.67×104N/C

05

Step 5: (c) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field  E at radial distance r=0.200 m:

If R2>R1>r

The electric field,E=0

Because no charge lies inside the shell.

For r=0.2m, R2>R1>r

Therefore. the electric field, E=0

06

(d) With  V = 0 at infinity, calculate V  at r=4.00 m :

At infinity the potential,V=0


If r=4.0m, r>R2>R1

Thus, the electric potential is,

Vr=kq1+q2r=9.0×109×1×10-6+2×10-64.0=6.75×103V=6.75kV

07

(e) With  V at infinity, calculate V  at r=1.00 m :

Forr=1.00m; R2>r>R1

The electric potential is,

Vr=kq1r+q2R2=9.0×1092.0×10-61.0m+1×10-61.0m=27×103V=27kV

08

(f) With  V = 0 at infinity, calculate V  at r=0.700 m :

Forr=0.7m; R2>r>R1

The electric potential is,

Vr=kq1r+q2R2=9.0×1092.0×1060.7+1×10-61.0=34.7×103V=34.7kV

09

(g) With V=0  at infinity, calculate V at r=0.500 m :

Forr=0.5m; R2>r>R1

The electric potential is,

Vr=kq1r+q2R2=9.0×1092×10-60.5+1×10-61.0

Vr=45×103V=45kV

10

(h) With V=0  at infinity, calculate V at r=0.200 m :

Forr=0.2m; R2>R1>r

Vr=kq1R1+q2R2=9.0×1092×10-60.5+1×10-61.0=4.5×103V

11

(i) With V = 0  at infinity, calculate V at r=0 m :

Forr=0; R2>R1>r

Vr=kq1R1+q2R2=9.0×1092×10-60.5+1×10-61.0=45×103V

In the situation of Question 7, is the work done by your force positive, negative, or zero if the particle is moved (a) from Ato B, (b) from Ato C, and (c) from Bto D? (d) Rank those moves according to the magnitude of the work done by your force, greatest first.

Starting from Eq. 24-30, derive an expression for the electric field due to a dipole at a point on the dipole axis.

Figure 24-30 shows a system of three charged particles. If you move the particle of chargefrom point Ato point D, are the following quantities positive, negative, or zero: (a) the change in the electric potential energy of the three particle system, (b) the work done by the net electric force on the particle you moved (that is, the net force due to the other two particles), and (c) the work done by your force? (d) What are the answers to (a) through (c) if, instead, the particle is moved from Bto C?
