A particle of charge q=1.010-7Cis at the center of a spherical cavity of radius 3.0cmin a chunk of metal. Find the electric field

(a)1.5cmfrom the cavity center and

(b) anyplace in the metal.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The electric field at 1.5 cm from the cavity center is4.0106N/C.

(b) The electric field at anyplace in the metal is zero.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

  • The charge of the particle,q=1.010-7C.
  • The spherical cavity of radius, r = 3.0 cm.
02

Understanding the concept of Electric field

To explain the electrostatic force between the two charges, we assume that the charges create an electric field around them. The magnitude of electric field E set up by the electric charge q at a distance r is given as,

E=q40r2

Using the concept of the electric field to determine the magnitude of the electric field

03

(a) Calculations for the electric field at 1.5 cm from the cavity center

The directionof the electric field atp1is away fromq1, and its magnitude is

E=q4蟺蔚0r2=(9109N.m2/c2)(1.010-7C)(0.015m)2=4.0106N/C

The electric field at 1.5 cm from the cavity center is4.0106N/C.

04

(b) Calculations for the electric field at any place inside the metal

From Gauss law, the charge enclosed inside the metal is zero. The pointP2is inside the metal. Therefore, electric fieldE, due to the electric charge inside the metal, is zero.

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?
