An early model of the atom, proposed by Rutherford after his discovery of the atomic nucleus, had a positive point charge +Ze (the nucleus) at the center of a sphere of radius R with uniformly distributed negative charge -Ze. Z is the atomic number, the number of protons in the nucleus and the number of electrons in the negative sphere. a. Show that the electric field strength inside this atom is
b. What is E at the surface of the atom? Is this the expected value? Explain.
c. A uranium atom has Z = 92 and R = 0.10 nm. What is the electric field strength at r = 1 2 R?
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 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.
