Two very large disks of radius Rare carrying uniformly distributed charges QAand QB. The plates are parallel and 0.1mmapart, as shown in Figure 16.70. The potential difference between the plates isVB-VA=-10V. (a) What is the direction of the electric field between the disks? (b) Invent values of QA, QBand Rthat would make VB-VA=-10V.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(b) The possible values are QB=10C, QA=20Cand R=9×109m.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The radius of both disks is, R.

The uniform charge carried by disk Ais, QA.

The uniform charge carried by disk Bis,QB.

The distance between the plates is, d=0.1mm.

The potential difference between the plates is,VB-VA=-10V.

02

Potential difference

When a charge moves from one location to other in an electric field then the potential difference between two locations changes with the travel distance.

If the distance traveled by a charge increases then the value of the potential difference between locations also increases.

03

(b): Calculating the values

The formula for the potential difference from disk A to disk B is given by,

VB-VA=14πε0QBR-14πε0QARVB-VA=14πε0QB-QAR

Here, 14πε0is a constant and its value is 9×109N·m2/C2.

-10V×1N·m/C1V=9×109N·m2/C2QB-QARQB-QAR=-10N·m/C9×109N·m2/C2QB-QAR=-109×109C/m

Assuming,QB=10C, QA=20Cand R=9×109m,

10C-20C9×109m=-109×109C/m-109×109C/m=-109×109C/mLHS=RHS

Hence, the possible values are QB=10C, QA=20Cand R=9×109m.

In a circuit there is a copper wire 40 cm long with a potential difference from one end to the other end of 0.01V. What is the magnitude of electric field inside the wire?

You travel along a path from location A to location B, moving in a direction opposite to the direction of the net electric field in that region. What is true of the potential difference VB-VA?(1)VB-VA>0,(2)VB-VA<0,(3)VB-VA=0.

You travel along a path from location A to location B, moving in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the net electric field in that region.

What is true of the potential difference VB-VA?

(1)VB-VA>0,(2)VB-VA<0(3)VB-VA=0

As shown in Figure 16.72, three large, thin, uniformly charged plates are arranged so that there are two adjacent regions of uniform electric field. The origin is at the center of the central plate. Location A is <-0.4,0,0>m, and location B is<0.2,0,0>m . The electric fieldE1→ has the value <725,0,0>V/m, and E2→is <-425,0,0>V/m.

(d) What is the minimum kinetic energy the electron must have at location A in order to ensure that it reaches location B?

In a region with an uniform electric field, you measure a potential difference of from the origin to a position of (0,0,10) m. Now we add a uniformly charged, thin spherical plastic shell centered at the origin. The spherical shell has a radius of 5 m and a charge of -3530 nC. Draw a diagram to help answer the following questions: (a) What is the potential difference from the origin to a position of (0,0,5) m (at the surface of the spherical shell)? (b) What is the potential difference from the position of (0,0,5) m to a position of (0,0,10) m ?
