Chapter 26: Q. 10 (page 737)

Determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field at points 1 and 2 in Figure EX26.10.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude and direction of the electric field

a) At point 1 : 2.5kV/m, Downwards

b) At point 2 :5kV/m, Upwards

Step by step solution

01

Given information and formula used  

Given figure :

Theory used :

The electric field is directed towards the decreasing potential and has a magnitude equal to the rate of change of the potential.

The electric field will be equal to the potential difference divided by the distance between these potentials. That is to say,

E=鈭�Vd

02

Determining the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the dot in the figure  

The potential will be diminishing in direction, thus point 1 will be down and point 2 will be up.

The magnitude will be the difference in potential between the two adjacent surfaces divided by their distance, assuming the field is constant between the dotted equipotential surfaces. That is,

|E1|=75-250.02=2.5kV/mfor point 1, and

|E2|=75-250.01=5kV/mfor point 2.

Figure EX26.3 is a graph of Ex. What is the potential difference between xi=1.0mand xf=3.0m?

A nerve cell in its resting state has a membrane potential of -70mV, meaning that the potential inside the cell is 70mV less than the potential outside due to a layer of negative charge on the inner surface of the cell wall and a layer of positive charge on the outer surface. This effectively makes the cell wall a charged capacitor. When the nerve cell fires, sodium ions,Na+, flood through the cell wall to briefly switch the membrane potential to +40mV. Model the central body of a nerve cell-the soma-as a 50渭mdiameter sphere with a 7.0-nm-thick cell wall whose dielectric constant is 9.0. Because a cell's diameter is much larger than the wall thickness, it is reasonable to ignore the curvature of the cell and think of it as a parallel-plate capacitor. How many sodium ions enter the cell as it fires?

Each capacitor in FIGURE CP26.83 has capacitance C. What is the equivalent capacitance between points aand b?

Two 3.0-cm-diameter aluminum electrodes are spaced 0.50 mm apart. The electrodes are connected to a 100 V battery.

a. What is the capacitance?

b. What is the magnitude of the charge on each electrode?

Two 5.0 mm * 5.0 mm electrodes are held 0.10 mm apart and are attached to a 9.0 V battery. Without disconnecting the battery, a 0.10-mm-thick sheet of Mylar is inserted between the electrodes. What are the capacitor鈥檚 potential difference, electric field, and charge
