Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data is listed below,

  • First charge making up the dipole is,q1=3 n°ä=3 n°ä×1 C1 ×109nC= 3×10−9 C
  • Second charge making up the dipole is,q2=−3 n°ä=−3 n°ä×1 C1 ×109nC= −3×10−9 C
  • The initial point of path is,A=⟨0, 0.03, 0⟩″¾
  • The end point of the path is,B=⟨0, 0.04, 0⟩″¾
  • The separation between dipole is, s=2″¾³¾=2″¾³¾Ã—1″¾1000″¾³¾= 2×10−3″¾.
  • The electric field is,E→=⟨0, 2Kqsy3, 0⟩ V/³¾
02

Significance of dipole moment

It is a metric that measures the strength of the dipole. It is a vector quantity that travels along the axis from negative to positive charge.

The product of the magnitudes of charge and dipole separation determines the magnitude of dipole moment.

03

Determination of the potential difference of dipole

The potential difference due to electric field in y-direction is given by,

Δ³Õ=−∫q1q2Edy

Here,Eis the given electric field,q1is the first charge making up the dipole, andq2is the second charge making up the dipole.

Substitute the value of electric field in the above expression.

Δ³Õ=−∫0.03″¾0.04″¾14πε02qsy3dy

Here,14πε0is the electric constant with valuek=(9×109 N⋅m2/C2).

Substitute all the values in the above expression.

ΔV=−∫0.03″¾0.04″¾k2qsy3dy=−2kqs∫0.03″¾0.04″¾1y3dy=−2kqs−12y20.030.04=2(9×109 Nâ‹…m2/C2)(3×10−9 C)(2×10−3″¾)12y20.03″¾0.04″¾=2(9×109 Nâ‹…m2/C2)(3×10−9 C)(2×10−3″¾)12(0.04″¾)2−12(0.03″¾)2=−26.24 Nâ‹…m/C×1 V1 Nâ‹…m/C=−26.24 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.

An electron is initially at rest. It is moved from a location 4×10-10mfrom a proton to a location 6×10-10m from the proton. What is the change in electric potential energy of the system of proton and electron?

2 Three charged metal disks are arranged as shown in Figure 16.75 (cutaway view). The disks are held apart by insulating supports not shown in the diagram. Each disk has an area of 2.5 m2 (this is the area of one flat surface of the disk). The charge Q1=5×10-8Cand the charge Q2=4×10-7 C.

(a) What is the electric field (magnitude and direction) in the region between disks 1 and 2? (b) Which of the following statements are true? Choose all that apply. (1) Along a path from A to B, E→⊥ΔI→(2) VB-VA=0.(3) localid="1657088862802" VB-VA=-Q/2.5ε0+(0.003) V. . (c) To calculateVC-VB , where should the path start and where should it end? (d) Shouldlocalid="1657089209063" VC-VB be positive or negative? Why? (1) Positive, because localid="1657089087291" ΔI→is opposite to the direction of . (2) Negative, becauseΔI→ is in the same direction asE→ . (3) Zero, becauseΔI→⊥E→. (e) What is the potential differenceVC-VB ? (f) What is the potential differenceVD-VC ? (g) What is the potential differenceVF-VD ? (h) What is the potential differenceVG-VF ? (i) What is the potential differenceVG-VA? (j) The charged disks have tiny holes that allow a particle to pass through them. An electron that is traveling at a fast speed approaches the plates from the left side. It travels along a path from A to G. Since no external work is done on system of plates + electron, Δ°­+Δ±«=Wext=0. Consider the following states: initial, electron at location A; final, electron at location G. (1) What is the change in potential energy of the system? (2) What is the change in kinetic energy of the electron?

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.

A particle with charge\( + {q_1}\)and a particle with charge\( - {q_2}\)are located as shown in figure 16.91. What is the potential (relative to infinity) at location A.
