FIGURE P27.42 shows a 4.0cmwide plastic film being wrapped onto a 2.0cmdiameter roller that turns at 90rpm.The plastic has a uniform surface charge density of −2.0nC/cm2.

a. What is the current of the moving film?

b. How long does it take the roller to accumulate a charge of -10μC??

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The current of the moving film is 75.4nC.

b. It will take 133sfor the roller to accumulate a charge of-10μC.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information (Part a)

Plastic film roller wide =4.0cm

Plastic film roller diameter=2.0cm

Number of rotations=90rpm

Uniform surface charge density=-2.0nC/cm2

02

Explanation (Part a) 

Consider a rotating cylinder with a frequency of f, which can be easily determined to be 1.5.

The length L rounded per second will be

L=Ï€df

Surface charge density be denoted by σ=2nC/cm2,

Charge Q"intake" per second will be

Q=σaL=σπadf

Where a=4cmis the side and the length units are all substituted in cm.

Hence,

Q=2s×π×4cm×2cm×1.5Hz

Q=75.4nC

03

Final Answer (Part a) 

Hence, the current of the moving film is75.4nC

04

Given Information (Part b) 

Plastic film roller wide=4.0cm

Plastic film roller diameter=2.0cm

Number of rotations=90rpm

Uniform surface charge density =-2.0nC/cm2

Charge=-10μC

05

Explanation (Part b)  

The time, in seconds, will be

t=InitialChargeChargeinmovingfilm

t=10×10-6C75.4×10-9C

t=133s

06

Final Answer (Part b)  

Hence, the time take will be 133sfor the roller to accumulate -10μCcharge.

a. Find an expression for the electric field strength inside the metal as a function of the radius r from the cylinder's axis.

75. A 300μFcapacitor is charged to 9.0V, then connected in parallel with a 5000Ωresistor. The capacitor will discharge because the resistor provides a conducting pathway between the capacitor plates, but much more slowly than if the plates were connected by a wire. Let t=0s be the instant the fully charged capacitor is first connected to the resistor. At what time has the capacitor voltage decreased by half, to 4.5V?
Hint: The current through the resistor is related to the rate at which charge is leaving the capacitor. Consequently, you'll need a minus sign that you might not have expected.
