A dipole is located at the origin, and is composed of charged particles with charge +e and -e, separated by a distance 2x10-10 along the axis. (a) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field due to this dipole at location . (b) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field due to this dipole at location .
In Figure 13.66 a proton at location A makes an electric field at location B. A different proton, placed at location B, experiences a force . Now the proton at B is removed and replaced by a lithium nucleus, containing three protons and four neutrons. (a) Now what is the value of the electric field at location B due to the proton? (b) What is the force on the lithium nucleus? (c) The lithium nucleus is removed, and an electron is placed at location B. Now what is the value of the electric field at location B due to the proton? (d) What is the magnitude of the force on the electron? (e) Which arrow in Figure 13.65 best indicates the direction of the force on the electron due to the electric field?
Two identical permanent dipoles, each consisting of charges +qand -qseparated by a distance s, are aligned along the xaxis, a distance rfrom each other, where(Figure 13.75). Show all of the steps in your work, and briefly explain each step. (a) Draw a diagram showing all individual forces acting on each particle, and draw heavier vectors showing the net force on each dipole. (b) Show that the magnitude of the net force exerted on one dipole by the other dipole is this:
Three nested hollow spheres have the same centre. The innermost sphere has the radius of 2 cmand carries a uniformly distributed charge of . The middle sphere has a radius of5 cm and carries a uniformly distributed charge of . The outermost sphere has a radius of 10 cm and carries a uniformly distributed charge of .(a) What is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of 1 cmfrom the centre? (b)What is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of 4 cmfrom the centre?(c) What is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance of 9 cmfrom the centre?
