(c) Graph Eversus rfor the ranger=0to2.00R.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnitude of the electric field at radial distancer=R/2 is0鈥塏/颁 .
  2. The magnitude of the electric field at radial distancer=2R is5.99103鈥塏/颁.
  3. The graph of electric field versus radial distance is plotted for the range of r=0to2R.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Linear charge density,=2.00108C/m
  2. The radius of the metal tube,R=3.00鈥塩尘
02

Understanding the concept of Gauss law-planar symmetry

Using the concept of the electric field of a cylindrical Gaussian surface, we can get the electric field value at the given radial distances for the enclosed charge.

Formula:

The electric field of a cylindrical Gaussian surface,

|E|=20r (1)

03

a) Calculation of the electric at r = R/2

We imagine a cylindrical Gaussian surface A of radius r and unit length concentric with the metal tube.

For r<R, qenc=0C

Thus, from the enclosed charge value in this case and equation (1), we get, E=0鈥塏/颁

Hence, the value of the electric field is0鈥塏/颁.

04

b) Calculation of the electric at r = 2R

For ,the electric field, in this case, is given using r=0.06鈥尘the given data in equation (i) as follows:

E=(2.0108C/m)2(0.06m)(8.851012C2/Nm2)=5.99103N/C

Hence, the value of the electric field is5.99103N/C

05

c) Calculation of the graph of the electric field with radial distances

The plot of E vs. r is shown.

Here, the maximum value of the electric field using the given data in equation (i) is given as:

Emax=(2.0108C/m)2(0.03m)(8.851012C2/Nm2)=1.2104N/C

Here, the maximum value of the electric field is .1.2104N/C

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?

The electric field in a particular space isE=(x+2)i^N/C, with xin meters. Consider a cylindrical Gaussian surface of radius that is coaxial with the x-axis. One end of the cylinder is atx=0 .
