A spherical conducting shell has a charge of -14 pCon its outer surface and a charged particle in its hollow. If the net charge on the shell is-10C, what is the charge

(a) on the inner surface of the shell and

(b) of the particle?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The charge on the inner surface of the shell is +4渭颁.
  2. The charge of the particle is -4渭颁.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. A spherical conducting shell has a charge ofqout=-14渭颁on its outer surface.
  2. The net charge on the shell is Q=-10渭颁.
02

Understanding the concept of the electric field

Using the concept of the Gaussian surface, we can calculate the required charge on a body. Consider the given shell as a Gaussian surface, and then some amount of charge remains at the inner surface while some at the outer surface.

Hence, using this concept, the net charge on the shell is the total value of all charges on the shell.

Formula:

Let,qinbe the charge on the inner surface andqoutthe charge on the outer surface. The net charge on the shell is given as:

Q=qin+qout (i)

03

a) Calculation of the charge on the inner surface of the shell

Using the given data in equation (i), the charge on the inner surface of the shell is given as:

qin=-10渭颁-(-14渭颁)=+4渭颁

Hence, the value of the charge is +4渭颁.

04

b) Calculation of the charge of the particle

Let q be the charge of the particle. In order to cancel the electric field inside the conducting material, the contribution from the in qin=+4渭颁on the inner surface must be canceled by that of the charged particle in the hollow. That is, the enclosed charge in the shell surface should be:

qenc=q-qi=0

Thus, the particle鈥檚 charge is given as:

q=-qin=-4渭颁

Hence, the value of the charge is -4渭颁.

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?

Two long, charged, thin-walled, concentric cylindrical shells have radii of3.0 cm and 6.0 cm . The charge per unit length is 5.010-6C/mon the inner shell and -7.010-6C/mon the outer shell. What are the (a) magnitude Eand (b) direction (radially inward or outward) of the electric field at radial distance r=4.0 cm ? What are (c) Eand (d) the direction at r=8.0 cm?

A charged particle causes an electric flux of -750 N.m2/Cto pass through a spherical Gaussian surface of 10.0 cmradius centered on the charge.

What is the magnitude of the electric field at radial distances (a)localid="1657346159507" r=0; (b) r=a/2.00, (c) r=a, (d) r=1.50a, (e) r=b, and (f) r=3.00b?
