What is the potential difference between yi=-5cm and yf=5cm in the uniform electric field E→=(120,000i^-50,000j^)V/m?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The potential difference is5kV

Step by step solution

01

Given information and formula used

Given :

yi=-5cm ; and yf=5cm

Uniform electric field : E→=(120,000i^-50,000j^)V/m

Formula used :

∆V=-∆y·Ey

02

Calculating the required the potential difference

We'll assume the x-component of the position is the same for both positions because we don't know anything about it; for example, both positions are measured along the y-axis.

∆y=0.05-(-0.05)=0.1mwill be the difference in the y-component.

With this knowledge, the potential difference will be :

∆V=-∆y·Ey=-0.1(-50000)=5000V

The two metal spheres in Figure Q26.9 are connected by a metal wire with a switch in the middle. Initially the switch is open. Sphere 1, with the larger radius, is given a positive charge. Sphere 2, with the smaller radius, is neutral. Then the switch is closed. Afterward, sphere 1 has charge Q1, is at potential V1, and the electric field strength at its surface is E1. The values for sphere 2 are Q2,V2,andE2.
