Chapter 26: Q. 4 (page 736)

Estimate the electric fields ${\overset{鈫�}{E}}_{1}$ and ${\overset{鈫�}{E}}_{2}$ at points 1 and 2 in Figure Q26.4. Don鈥檛 forget that $\overset{鈫�}{E}$ is a vector.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric field remains constant while the potential increases uniformly.

Step by step solution

: Given information and formula used

Given :

Theory used :

Electric Field is given by : $E = \frac{V}{r}$

Estimating E→1 and E→2

(a) As per the figure,

V = 5 volts, r=0.5m

So, $E = \frac{5}{0.5} = 10 V / m$ (direction : Leftwards )

(b) As per the figure,

V = 35 volts, r = 3.5m

So, $E = \frac{35}{3.5} = 10 V / m$ (direction : Rightwards )
