In Fig. 23-49, a small, non-conducting ball of massm=1.0mgand charge q=2.010-8C (distributed uniformly through its volume) hangs from an insulating thread that makes an angle =30owith a vertical, uniformly charged non-conducting sheet (shown in cross-section). Considering the gravitational force on the ball and assuming the sheet extends far vertically and into and out of the page, calculate the surface charge density s of the sheet.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The surface charge density of the sheet is5.010-9C/m2 .

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Mass of the ball,1mg
  2. Charge on the ball,role="math" localid="1657350162514" q=210-8C
  3. The angle of the insulation thread,role="math" localid="1657350181635" =30O

Understanding the concept of the electrostatic force and Newton’s law

Using the electrostatic force value in the equations of the horizontal and vertical components of the free body diagram, we can get the expression of the electric field. Again, using the value of the electric field of a non-conducting sheet in this calculated expression, we can get the value of the required surface charge density.

Formula:

The electrostatic force of a charged particle,F=qE (1)

The force due to the gravity, F=mg (2)

The electric field of a non-conducting shell,E=20 (3)

03

Calculation of the surface charge density of the sheet

The forces acting on the ball are shown in the diagram to the right. The electric field produced by the plate is normal to the plate and points to the right. Since the ball is positively charged, the electric force on it also points to the right. The tension in the thread makes the angle with the vertical. Since the ball is in equilibrium the net force on it vanishes.

The sum of the horizontal components from the free body diagram using equation (i) for force yields

qE-T蝉颈苍胃=0........................(4)

The sum of the vertical components yields,

T肠辞蝉胃-mg=0.................(5)

The expression of the tension from equation (4) is given as:

T=qE蝉颈苍胃

This value is substituted into equation (5) to get the following value:

qE=T迟补苍胃

As the tension of the body is equal to the body weight, so using equation (2) and equation (3), the surface density of the sheet is given as follows:

q2o=mg迟补苍胃=2omg迟补苍胃q=298.8510-12C2/N.m2)(1.010-6kg)(9.8,m/s2)tan30o2.010-8C=5.010-9C/m2

Hence, the value of the surface charge density is 5.010-9C/M2 .
