A parallel-plate capacitor, at rest in S0and tilted at a 45angle to the x0axis, carries charge densities 0on the two plates (Fig. 12.41). SystemS is moving to the right at speed V relative to S0.

(a) Find E0, the field in S0.

(b) Find E, the field in S.

(c) What angle do the plates make with the xaxis?

(d) Is the field perpendicular to the plates in S?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The electrical fieldE0 inS0 frame is 020(x^+y^).

(b) The electric fieldE in the frameS is020(x^+y^) .

(c) The angle made by plates withx axis is tan1().

(d) The electric field is not perpendicular to the plates.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The parallel plates of capacitor are tiled at angle is0=45 to the X0axis.

Charge density of the capacitor plates are 0.

The system Sis moving right relative toS at speed ofv .

02

Determine the formulas to calculate the electric field in the frames. 

The expression to calculate the magnitude of the electric field is given as follows.

E0=00 鈥︹ (1)

Here, 0is the permittivity of space.

The expression to calculate the angle made by the parallel plates withx axis is given as follows.

tan=cos01sin0 鈥︹ (2)

The expression calculates the angle between the normal plates and electric field is given as follows.

肠辞蝉蠒=En^|E| 鈥︹ (3)

03

Calculate the electric field E0 in the frame S0.

(a)

The electric field in vector form in frame S0is given by,

E0=E0cos45x^+E0sin45y^

Substitute 00for E0into above equation.

E0=00cos45x^+00sin45y^E0=0012+0012y^E0=020(x^+y^)

Hence the electrical fieldE0 in frameS0 is020(x^+y^) .

04

Calculate the electric field E in the frame S.

(b)

The xcomponent of the electric field is given by,

Ex=Ex0Ex=020x^

Theycomponent of the electric field is given by,

role="math" localid="1658297161533" Ey=EyEy=020y^

The electric field Ein the frame S is given by,

E=Ex+Ey

Substitute020 for Exand020 forEy into above equation.

E=020x^+020y^E=020(x^+y^)

Hence the electric fieldE in the frameS is020(x^+y^) .

05

Calculate the angle made by the plates with x axis.

(c)

Calculate the angle made by plates with xaxis.

Substitute45 for into equation (2).

tan=sin451cos45tan=12112tan==tan1()

Hence the angle made by plates withx axis istan1() .

06

Determine the field is perpendicular to the plates?

(d)

Let assume n^ is the vector which is perpendicular to the frame S.

The vectorn^is given by,

n^=sinx^+cosy^

Calculate the angle between normal to plates and electric field.

Substitute 020(x^+y^)for E, sinx^+cosy^ for n^ and 0201+2for |E|into equation (3).

肠辞蝉蠒=020(x^+y^)蝉颈苍胃x^+肠辞蝉胃y^0201+2肠辞蝉蠒=(x^+y^)(蝉颈苍胃x^+肠辞蝉胃y^)1+2肠辞蝉蠒=蝉颈苍胃+纬肠辞蝉胃1+2肠辞蝉蠒=肠辞蝉胃(迟补苍胃+)1+2 鈥︹ (4)

Resolve as:

tan=sincos=cos21cos=1cos21=

Solve further as,

1cos21=21cos2=2+1cos2=12+1cos=12+1

Substitute 12+1 for cosand for taninto equation (4).

cos=11+2(+)1+2cos=21+2

The angle between normal to plates and field is not zero. Therefore, the electric field is not perpendicular to the plates.
