InFIGURE Q24.4, where the field is uniform, is the magnitude of Φ1larger than, smaller than, or equal to the magnitude of Φ2? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Φ1=Φ2

Step by step solution

01

Given information and formula used  

Given :

Figure -

The field is uniform

Theory used :

Electric flux, property of an electric field that may be thought of as the number of electric lines of force (or electric field lines) that intersect a given area.

Electric field lines are considered to originate on positive electric charges and to terminate on negative charges.

02

Determining if the magnitude of Φ1 larger than, smaller than, or equal to the magnitude of Φ2

The electric field is consistent across both surfaces. The electric flow is constant in this scenario. Because the electric fields inner 'surface 1' and outward 'surface 2' are identical, the two surfaces are joined to form a single closed surface.

So,Φ1=Φ2

The cube in FIGURE EX24.8 contains no net charge. The electric field is constant over each face of the cube. Does the missing electric field vector on the front face point in or out? What is the field strength?

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

Ein=Ze4πϵ01r2-rR3

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?

The sphere and ellipsoid in FIGURE Q24.9 surround equal charges. Four students are discussing the situation. Student 1: The fluxes through A and B are equal because the average radius is the same. Student 2: I agree that the fluxes are equal, but that’s because they enclose equal charges. Student 3: The electric field is not perpendicular to the surface for B, and that makes the flux through B less than the flux through A. Student 4: I don’t think that Gauss’s law even applies to a situation like B, so we can’t compare the fluxes through A and B. Which of these students, if any, do you agree with? Explain

FIGURE EX24.1 shows two cross sections of two infinitely long coaxial cylinders. The inner cylinder has a positive charge, the outer cylinder has an equal negative charge. Draw this figure on your paper, then draw electric field vectors showing the shape of the electric field.

A neutral conductor contains a hollow cavity in which there is a+100nCpoint charge. A charged rod then transfers-50nC to the conductor. Afterward, what is the charge (a) on the inner wall of the cavity, and (b) on the exterior surface of the conductor?
