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.

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.

A small metal sphere of radius r initially has a charge q0 . Then a long copper wire is connected from this small sphere to a distant, large, uncharged metal sphere of radius R. Calculate the final charge q on the small sphere and the final charge on the large sphere. You may neglect the small amount of charge on the wire. What other approximations did you make? (Think about potential…)

A capacitor consists of two large metal disks placed at a distance apart. The radius of each disk is R(R>>s), and the thickness of each disk ist, as shown in Figure 16.73. The disk on the left has a net charge of+Q, and the disk on the right has a net charge of-Q. Calculate the potential difference V2-V1, where location 1 is inside the left disk at its center, and location 2 is in the center of the air gap between the disks. Explain briefly

What are the units of electric potential energy, of electric potential, and of electric field?

The diagram in Figure 16.74 shows three very large metal disks (seen edgewise), carrying charges as indicated. On each surface the charges are distributed approximately uniformly. Each disk has a very large radius R and a small thickness t. The distances between the disks are a and b, as shown; they also are small compared to R. Calculate V2-V1, and explain your calculation briefly.
