A small rigid object carries positive and negative \(3.50-\mathrm{nC}\) charges. It is oriented so that the positive charge has coordinates \((-1.20 \mathrm{mm}, 1.10 \mathrm{mm})\) and the negative charge is at the point \((1.40 \mathrm{mm},-1.30 \mathrm{mm}) .\) (a) Find the electric dipole moment of the object. The object is placed in an electric field \(\quad \mathbf{E}=(7800 \mathbf{i}-4900 \hat{\mathbf{j}}) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{C} .\) (b) Find the torque acting on the object. (c) Find the potential energy of the object-ficld system when the object is in this orientation. (d) If the oricntation of the object can change, find the difference between the maximum and minimum potential energies of the system.
Find the capacitance of the Earth. (Suggestion: The outer conductor of the "spherical capacitor" may be considered as a conducting sphere at infinity where \(V\) approaches zero.)
A wafer of titanium dioxide \((\kappa=173)\) of area \(1.00 \mathrm{cm}^{2}\) has a thickness of \(0.100 \mathrm{mm}\). Aluminum is evaporated on the parallel faces to form a parallel-plate capacitor. (a) Calculate the capacitance. (b) When the capacitor is charged with a \(12.0-\mathrm{V}\) battery, what is the magnitude of charge delivered to each plate? (c) For the situation in part (b), what are the free and induced surface charge densities? (d) What is the magnitude of the electric field?
Consider three capacitors \(C_{1}, C_{2}, C_{3},\) and a battery. If \(C_{1}\) is connected to the battery, the charge on \(C_{1}\) is \(30.8 \mu \mathrm{C}\). Now \(C_{1}\) is disconnected, discharged, and connected in series with \(C_{2} .\) When the series combination of \(C_{2}\) and \(C_{1}\) is connected across the battery, the charge on \(C_{1}\) is \(23.1 \mu \mathrm{C} .\) The circuit is disconnected and the capacitors discharged. Capacitor \(C_{3},\) capacitor \(C_{1},\) and the battery are connected in series, resulting in a charge on \(C_{1}\) of \(25.2 \mu \mathrm{C} .\) If, after being disconnected and discharged, \(C_{1}, C_{2},\) and \(C_{3}\) are connected in series with one another and with the battery, what is the charge on \(C_{1} ?\)
Two conducting spheres with diameters of \(0.400 \mathrm{m}\) and \(1.00 \mathrm{m}\) are separated by a distance that is large compared with the diameters. The spheres are connected by a thin wire and are charged to \(7.00 \mu \mathrm{C}\). (a) How is this total charge shared between the spheres? (Ignore any charge on the wire.) (b) What is the potential of the system of spheres when the reference potential is taken to be \(V=0\) at \(r=\infty ?\)
