Flux and non-conducting shells. A charged particle is suspended at the center of two concentric spherical shells that are very thin and made of non-conducting material. Figure 23-37a shows a cross section. Figure 23-37b gives the net flux through a Gaussian sphere centered on the particle, as a function of the radius r of the sphere. The scale of the vertical axis is set by =5.0105Nm2/C. (a) What is the charge of the central particle? What are the net charges of (b) shell A and (c) shell B?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The charge of the central particle is 1.77渭颁.
  2. The charge of shell A is -5.3渭颁.
  3. The charge of shell B is +8.9渭颁.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The scale of the vertical axis, s=5.0105N.m2/C

02

Understanding the concept of Gauss law-planar symmetry

Using the concept of the Gauss law, we can get the charge enclosed by the surface. This value of the enclosed charge will determine the charge of the shells of A and B.

Formula:

The enclosed charge by the surface, qenc=0 (1)

03

a) Calculation of the charge of the central particle

From the graph, the value s=2.0105Nm2/Cfor small r leads to the charge of the central particle using equation (1i) as:

qcentre=(8.8510-12C2/N.m2)(2.0105N.m2/C)=1.7710-6C

Hence, the value of the charge is 1.7710-6C.

04

b) Calculation of the charge of shell A

The next value that takes the flux is given as:

s=-4.0105N.m2/C

which implies that the charge enclosed by it using equation (1) is given as:

qenc=-3.5410-6C

But we have already accounted for some of that charge in part (a), so the result for part (b) is calculated as follows:

qA=qenc-qcentre=-5.310-6C

Hence, the value of the charge is -5.310-6C.

05

c) Calculation of the charge of shell B

Finally, for the large r-value, the value of the flux is given as:

=6.0105N.m2/C

which implies that the enclosed charge for this flux value is given using equation (1) as:

role="math" localid="1657346976925" qtotalence=5.3110-6C

Considering what we have already found, then the result of the charge of the shell is given as:

qB=qtotalenc-qA=qcentre=+8.9渭颁

Hence, the value of the charge is +8.9渭颁.

Charge of uniform volume densityr=1.2nC/m3fills an infinite slab between role="math" localid="1657340713406" x=-5.0cmand role="math" localid="1657340708898" x=+5.0cm.What is the magnitude of the electric field at any point with the coordinate (a) x=4.0cmand (b)x=6.0cm?

Figure 23-61 shows a Geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation, which causes ionization of atoms. A thin, positively charged central wire is surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge, creating a strong radial electric field. The shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. A particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. The resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. However, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. More free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. The resulting 鈥渁valanche鈥 of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. Suppose that the radius of the central wire is 25 mm, the inner radius of the shell 1.4 cm, and the length of the shell 16 cm. If the electric field at the shell鈥檚 inner wall is,2.9104N/C what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

A long, straight wire has fixed negative charge with a linear charge density of magnitude 3.6nC/m . The wire is to be enclosed by a coaxial, thin-walled non-conducting cylindrical shell of radius 1.5 cm . The shell is to have positive charge on its outside surface with a surface charge density s that makes the net external electric field zero. Calculate s.

Figure 23-51 shows a cross-section through a very large non-conducting slab of thicknessd=9.40mmand uniform volume charge density p=5.80fC/m3 . The origin of an x-axis is at the slab鈥檚 center. What is the magnitude of the slab鈥檚 electric field at an xcoordinate of (a) 0 , (b) 2.0mm , (c) 4.70mm , and (d) 26.0mm?

In Fig. 23-32, a butterfly net is in a uniform electric field of magnitude E=3.0mN/C. The rim, a circle of radiusa=11cm, is aligned perpendicular to the field. The net contains no net charge. Find the electric flux through the netting.
