Figure 23-22 show, in cross-section, three solid cylinders, each of length L and uniform charge Q. Concentric with each cylinder is a cylindrical Gaussian surface, with all three surfaces having the same radius. Rank the Gaussian surfaces according to the electric field at any point on the surface, greatest first.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rank of the Gaussian surfaces according to the electric fields at any point on the surface is (a)=(b)=(c).

Step by step solution

01

The given data:

Figure 23-22 shows, in cross section, three solid cylinders, each of length L and uniform charge Q with a Gaussian surface of equal radius.

02

Understanding the concept of Gaussian surface: 

The Gaussian surface is known as a closed surface in three-dimensional space such that the flux of a vector field is calculated. Thus, considering the flux concept, to get the electric field through the Gaussian surface of the same radii yields an equal electric field that only depends on the charge value inside the surface.

Formula:

The electric flux through any closed surface is,

E=E.dA

E=qenclosed0 鈥.. (i)

03

Calculation of the rank of the Gaussian surface:

Using the given figure, you can get that the area vector is parallel to the electric field at any point on the surface, thus the flux value using equation (i) can be given as:

E=EdAcos0=EA

Again, using equation (i), the electric field at a point within any Gaussian surface can be given as:

EA=qenc0E=qenc础蔚0

But, as given that the Gaussian radius for all three cases is the same. Thus, they have the same area.

Now, the charge enclosed within each cylinder is Q irrespective of its radius.

Thus, the value of the electric fields though all the Gaussian area with the given cylinders is same that is given by:

E=Q础蔚0

Hence, the rank of the surfaces according to their electric fields is (a)=(b)=(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?
