91Ó°ÊÓ

You move from location i at ⟨2,7,5⟩ mto locationf at ⟨5,6,12⟩ m. All along this path there is a nearly uniform electric field of ⟨1000,200,−510⟩ N/C. Calculate Vf−Vi, including sign and units.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of Vf−Vi including sign and units is 770 V.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as,

  • The coordinate of a location i is,i⟨x1,y1,z1⟩=⟨2,7,5⟩″¾ .
  • The coordinate of another location f is, f⟨x2,y2,z2⟩=⟨5,6,12⟩″¾.
  • The uniform electric field is, ⟨Ex,Ey,Ez⟩=⟨1000,200,−510⟩ N/°ä.
02

Significance of electric field

In this question, the electric field concept will be used to estimate the potential difference between two particular points in that electric field. The relation between the electric field and respective potential differences is direct linear.

03

Determination the potential difference between two points

The relation of potential difference between location i and locationf is expressed as,

Δ³Õ=Vf−Vi=−(ExΔ³æ+EyΔ²â+EzΔ³ú)=−[Ex(x2−x1)+Ey(y2−y1)+Ez(z2−z1)]

Here, Δ³Õ is the potential difference between two points.

Substitute all the known values in the above equation.

role="math" localid="1657121013389" Vf−Vi=−[(1000 N/C)(5 m−2″¾)+(200 N/°ä)(6″¾âˆ’7″¾)+(−510 N/°ä)(12″¾âˆ’5″¾)]=−[−770 Nâ‹…m/C]=(770 Nâ‹…m/C)×1 V1 Nâ‹…m/C=770 V

Thus, the potential difference (Vf−Vi) between location i andf location is 770 V.

An electron starts from rest in a vacuum, in a region of strong field. The electron moves through a potential difference of 44V. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the electron in electron volts (eV)? (b) Which of the following statements would be true if the particle were a proton? Choose both if they are both correct. (1) The kinetic energy of the proton would be negative. (2) The proton would move in the opposite direction from the electron.

We discussed a method for measuring the dielectric constant by placing a slab of the material between the plates of a capacitor. Using this method, what would we get for the dielectric constant if we inserted a slab of metal (not quite touching the plates, of course)?

A thin spherical shell of radius \({R_1}\)made of plastic carries a uniformly distributed negative charge \( - {Q_1}\). A thin spherical shell of radius \({R_2}\)made of glass carries a uniformly distributed positive charge \( + {Q_2}\). The distance between centers is \(L\), as shown in Figure 16.80. (a) Find the potential difference \({V_B} - {V_A}\). Location A is at the center of the glass sphere, and location \(B\) is just outside the glass sphere. (b) Find the potential difference \({V_C} - {V_B}\). Location \(B\) is just outside the glass sphere, and location \(C\) is a distance d to the right of \(B\). (c) Suppose the glass shell is replaced by a solid metal sphere with radius R2 carrying charge \( + {Q_2}\). Would the magnitude of the potential difference \({V_B} - {V_A}\) be greater than, less than, or the same as it was with the glass shell in place? Explain briefly, including an appropriate physics diagram.
