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.

15,000VIn the cathode ray tube found in old television sets, which contains a vacuum, electrons are boiled out of a very hot metal filament placed near a negative metal plate. These electrons start out nearly at rest and are accelerated toward a positive metal plate. They pass through a hole in the positive plate on their way toward the picture screen, as shown in the diagram in Figure 16.69. If the high-voltage supply in the television set maintains a potential difference of 15,000Vbetween the two plates, what speed do the electrons reach?

A dipole is centered at the origin, with its axis along the y axis, so that at locations on the y axis, the electric field due to the dipole is given by

E→=⟨0, 14πε02qsy3, 0⟩ Vm

The charges making up the dipole are+3 n°ä and -3 n°ä, and the dipole separation is2″¾m (Figure 16.82). What is the potential difference along a path starting at location⟨0, 0.03, 0⟩″¾ and ending at location⟨0, 0.04, 0⟩″¾ ?

Four voltmeters are connected to a circuit as shown in figure 16.90. As is usual with voltmeters, the reading on the voltmeter is positive if the negative lead (black wire, usually labled COM) is connected to a location at lower potential, and the positive lead(red) is connected to a location at higher potential. The circuit contains two devices whose identity is unknown and a rod (green) of length 9 cm made of conducting material. At a particular moment, the reading observed in the voltmeters are, voltmeter A: -1.6 V, voltmeter B: -6 V, voltmeter A: -3.5 V. (a) At this moment, what is the reading on voltmeter D, both magnitude and sign? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field inside the rod?
