A small, metal sphere hangs by an insulating thread within the larger, hollow conducting sphere of FIGURE Q24.10. A conducting wire extends from the small sphere through, but not touching, a small hole in the hollow sphere. A charged rod is used to transfer positive charge to the protruding wire. After the charged rod has touched the wire and been removed, are the following surfaces positive, negative, or not charged? Explain. a. The small sphere. b. The inner surface of the hollow sphere. c. The outer surface of the hollow sphere.
A spark occurs at the tip of a metal needle if the electric field strength exceeds , the field strength at which air breaks down. What is the minimum surface charge density for producing a spark?
The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that we can still apply Gauss's law to a Gaussian surface that is entirely within an insulator by replacing the right-hand side of Gauss's law, , with , where is the permittivity of the material. (Technically, is called the vacuum permittivity.) Suppose that a point charge is surrounded by a thin, -diameter spherical rubber shell and that the electric field strength inside the rubber shell is . What is the permittivity of rubber
The electric field is constant over each face of the cube shown in FIGURE EX24.4. Does the box contain positive charge, negative charge, or no charge? Explain.
