This problem investigates what fraction of the available charge must be transferred from one conductor to another to produce a typical contact potential. (a) As a rough approximation treat the conductors as10cmx 10 cm square plates2cm apart-a parallel-plate capacitors so thatq=CV , where C=0(0.01m2/0.02m). How much charge must be transferred from one plate to the other to produce a potential difference of 2V?(b) Approximately what fraction would this be of the total number of conduction electrons in a 100gpiece of copper. which has one conduction electron per atom?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total charge required to produce 2Vthe across the capacitor isQ=91012C

The ratio of the two sets of electrons isR=61017

Step by step solution

01

Total chargeQ  on the plates of a capacitor and number of electrons N that would give rise to the total charge Q.

The equation for the total charge Qon the plates of a capacitor given a potentialV:

Q=CV

鈥︹. (1)

HereCis the capacitance of a (10cm)(10cm)parallel-plate capacitor (with a plate separation of 2cm), given by:

C=0(0.01m20.02m) 鈥︹ (2)

The number of electronsNthat would give rise to the total chargeQwould be written as:

N=Qe

With e being the elementary unit charge on the electron. So then the 8.851012Cis used for theQ and 1.61019C for e:

N=Qe=(8.851012C)1.61019C=5.53107

So that's the number of electrons needed to give rise to the2V

And0 is the permittivity of free space.

The atomic mass for copper of 63.546. Convert them to standard units:

(63.546u)(1.661027kg1u)=1.0551025kg

02

Find the total charge involved to produce a potential of2 V .

(a)

Potential difference across capacitor=2V

To find the total charge involved to produce a potential of2V , equation (2) is inserted in forC in equation (1) , with0 being 8.851012C2/N.m2and Vbeing2V , with0 being 8.851012C2/N.m2and Vbeing2V :

Q=CV=0(0.01m20.02m)(V)=(8.851012C2Nm2)(0.01m20.02m)(2V)=8.851012C

03

Step 3:The ratio of two sets of electrons. 

(b)

Next, since there is one conduction electron per copper atom, the number of the electrons in the 100gsample can be found by just giving a look how many copper atoms it takes to make up the 100g. it can be expressed with the equation:

n=mamu

With being the number of electrons or atoms, the mass of the sample, and being the atomic mass of the copper atom. So then0.1kg is inserted in for the (since standard units are needed), and1.055*1025

kgfor the amu:

n=mamu=(0.1kg)(1.0551025kg)=9.481023

So, there are9.481023 atoms/conduction electrons in the100g sample.

So then just divide the two of them to get the ratio:

R=Nn=(5.53107)(9.481023)=5.831017

The ratio of the two sets of electrons isR=61017

Classically, what would be the average energy of a particle in a system of particles fine to move in the xy-plane while rotating about the i-axis?

In a large system of distinguishable harmonic oscillators, how high does the temperature have to be for the probability of occupying the ground state to be less than12?

Exercise 52 gives the Boltzmann distribution for the special case of simple harmonic oscillators, expressed in terms of the constant, N0/(2s+1)and Exercise 53 gives the two quantum distributions in that case. Show that both quantum distributions converge to the Boltzmann in the limitkBT.

Copper has a density of8.9103kg/m3, and no photoelectrons are ejected from it if the wavelength of the incident light is greater than8.9103kg/m3(in the ultraviolet range). How deep is the well in which its conduction electrons--one per atom-are bound?

When a star has nearly bumped up its intimal fuel, it may become a white dwarf. It is crushed under its own enormous gravitational forces to the point at which the exclusion principle for the electrons becomes a factor. A smaller size would decrease the gravitational potential energy, but assuming the electrons to be packed into the lowest energy states consistent with the exclusion principle, "squeezing" the potential well necessarily increases the energies of all the electrons (by shortening their wavelengths). If gravitation and the electron exclusion principle are the only factors, there is minimum total energy and corresponding equilibrium radius.

(a) Treat the electrons in a white dwarf as a quantum gas. The minimum energy allowed by the exclusion principle (see Exercise 67) is
Uclocimns=310(32h3me32V)23N53

Note that as the volume Vis decreased, the energy does increase. For a neutral star. the number of electrons, N, equals the number of protons. If protons account for half of the white dwarf's mass M (neutrons accounting for the other half). Show that the minimum electron energy may be written

Uelectrons=9h280me(32M5mp5)131R2

Where, R is the star's radius?

(b) The gravitational potential energy of a sphere of mass Mand radius Ris given by

Ugray=-35GM2R

Taking both factors into account, show that the minimum total energy occurs when

R=3h28G(32me3mp5M)13

(c) Evaluate this radius for a star whose mass is equal to that of our Sun 2x1030kg.

(d) White dwarfs are comparable to the size of Earth. Does the value in part (c) agree?
