A thin spherical shell made of plastic carries a uniformly distributed negative charge \( - {Q_1}\). As shown in Figure 16.79, two large thin disks made of glass carry uniformly distributed positive and negative charges \( + {Q_2}\)and \( - {Q_2}\). The radius \({R_1}\)of the plastic spherical shell is very small compared to the radius \({R_2}\)of the glass disks. The distance from the center of the spherical shell to the positive disk is d, and d is much smaller than \({R_2}\). (a) Find the potential difference V2 - V1 in terms of the given quantities (Q1, Q2, R1, R2, and d). Point 1 is at the center of the plastic sphere, and point is just outside the sphere. (b) Find the potential difference V3-V2. Point 2 is just below the sphere, and point 3 is right beside the positive glass disk. (c) Suppose that the plastic shell is replaced by a solid metal sphere with radius R1carrying charge -Q1. State whether the absolute magnitudes of the potential differences would be greater than, less than, or the same as they were with the plastic shell in place. Explain briefly, including an appropriate diagram.

(c) The potential difference is less than as compared to plastic shell in place.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

The charge on the spherical shell is \( - {Q_1}\) and radius \({R_1}\).

The charges of the disks are\( - {Q_2}\),\( + {Q_2}\) and radius \({R_2}\).

The distance between centre of the spherical shell and positive disk is \(d\).

02

Determine the formulas to calculate the potential difference\({V_2} - {V_1}\),\({V_3} - {V_2}\)  and magnitude of the potential difference if the plastic shell is replaced by a solid metal sphere with radius \({R_1}\) carrying charge \( - {Q_1}\).

The expression to calculate the electric field between the two points is given as follows.

\(E = \frac{{\Delta V}}{d}\) 鈥︹ (i)

Here,\(d\)is the separation distance between the plates.

The expression to calculate the electric field due to disk is given as follows.

\(E = \frac{{{Q_2}}}{{A{\varepsilon _0}}}\)鈥︹ (ii)

Here,\(A\)is the area of the plate and\({\varepsilon _0}\)is the permittivity of the free space.

The expression to calculate the potential difference due to sphere is given as follows.

\({V_{sphere}} = - k\int_d^{{R_1}} {{E_{sphere}}dy} \)鈥︹ (iii)

03

Calculate the magnitude of the potential difference if the plastic shell is replaced by a solid metal sphere with radius \({R_1}\) carrying charge \( - {Q_1}\).

Now, plastic shell is replaced by the solid metal sphere with radius \({R_1}\) and charge \( - {Q_1}\). The configuration is shown below.

The negative charge on the upper and lower part of the metal sphere is increased due to the polarization. Therefore, the net electric field between the location \(1\) and \(2\) is zero.

\({E_{net}} = 0\)

Since the electric field between the location \(1\) and \(2\) is zero. Therefore, potential difference between the location \(1\) and \(2\) is also zero.

Hence the potential difference is less than as compared to plastic shell in place.

Question: The following questions refer to the circuit shown in Figure 18.114, consisting of two flashlight batteries and two Nichrome wires of different lengths and different thicknesses as shown (corresponding roughly to your own thick and thin Nichrome wires).

The thin wire is 50 cm long, and its diameter is 0.25 mm. The thick wire is 15 cm long, and its diameter is 0.35 mm. (a) The emf of each flashlight battery is 1.5 V. Determine the steady-state electric field inside each Nichrome wire. Remember that in the steady state you must satisfy both the current node rule and energy conservation. These two principles give you two equations for the two unknown fields. (b) The electron mobility

in room-temperature Nichrome is about 710-5(ms)(Ns). Show that it takes an electron 36 min to drift through the two Nichrome wires from location B to location A. (c) On the other hand, about how long did it take to establish the steady state when the circuit was first assembled? Give a very approximate numerical answer, not a precise one. (d) There are about 91028mobile electrons per cubic meter in Nichrome. How many electrons cross the junction between the two wires every second?

A spacecraft traveling at a velocity of <-20,-90,40>m/sis observed to be at a location <200,300,-500>relative to an origin located on a nearby asteroid. At a later time the spacecraft is at location <-380,-2310,660>m.

(a)How long did it take the spacecraft to travel between these locations?

(b)How far did the spacecraft travel?

(c)What is the speed of the spacecraft?

(d)What is the unit vector in the direction of the spacecraft鈥檚 velocity?

Here are questions about human diet. (a) A typical candy bar provides 280 calories (one 鈥渇ood鈥 or 鈥渓arge鈥 calorie is equal to ). How many candy bars would you have to eat to replace the chemical energy you expend doing 100 sit-ups? Explain your work, including any approximations or assumptions you make. (In a sit-up, you go from lying on your back to sitting up.) (b) How many days of a diet of 2000 large calories are equivalent to the gravitational energy difference for you between sea level and the top of Mount Everest, 8848 m above sea level? (However, the body is not anywhere near 100% efficient in converting chemical energy into change in altitude. Also note that this is in addition to your basal metabolism.)

A steel safe with mass 2200kg falls onto concrete. Just before hitting the concrete its speed is 40m/s , and it smashes without rebounding and ends up being 0.06m shorter than before. What is the approximate magnitude of the force exerted on the safe by the concrete? How does this compare with the gravitational force of the Earth on the safe? Explain your analysis carefully, and justify your estimates on physical grounds.

A Ping-Pong ball is acted upon by the Earth, air resistance, and a strong wind. Here are the positions of the ball at several times.

Early time interval:

At\(t = 12.35\;{\rm{s}}\), the position was\(\left\langle {3.17.2.54, - 9.38} \right\rangle {\rm{m}}\).

At\(t = 12.37\;{\rm{s}}\), the position was\(\left\langle {3.25,2.50, - 9.40} \right\rangle \;{\rm{m}}\).

Late time interval:

At\(t = 14.35\;{\rm{s}}\), the position was\(\left\langle {11.25, - 1.50, - 11.40} \right\rangle \;{\rm{m}}\).

At\(t = 14.37\;{\rm{s}}\), the position was\(\left\langle {11.27, - 1.86, - 11.42} \right\rangle \;{\rm{m}}\).

(a) In the early time interval, from \(t = 12.35\;{\rm{s}}\) to \(t = 12.37\;{\rm{s}}\), what was the average momentum of the ball? The mass of the Ping-Pong ball is \(2.7\) grams \(\left( {2.7 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}\;{\rm{kg}}} \right)\). Express your result as a vector. (b) In the late time interval, from \(t = 14.35\;{\rm{s}}\) to \(t = 14.37\;{\rm{s}}\), what was the average momentum of the ball? Express your result as a vector. (c) In the time interval from \(t = 12.35\;{\rm{s}}\) (the start of the early time interval) to \(t = 14.35\;{\rm{s}}\) (the start of the late time interval), what was the average net force acting on the ball? Express your result as a vector.
