Two 10 -cm-long thin glass rods uniformly charged to+10nCare placed side by side, 4.0cmapart. What are the electric field strengths E1to E3at distances 1.0cm,2.0cm, and 3.0cmto the right of the rod on the left along the line connecting the midpoints of the two rods??

Short Answer

Expert verified

Electric field at distance r=1.0cmis 12.56×104N/C.

Electric field at distance r=2.0cmis 0N/C.

Electric field at distancer=3.0cmis-12.56N/Cr=3.0cm

Step by step solution

Calculation for electric field at distance r=1.0 cm

The following formula is used to compute the electric field produced by a rod at a distance perpendicular to its midpoint:

E=kqrr2+l24

Both glass and plastic rods will generate an electric field, and the direction of the field will be determined by the charge on the rods.which will be in thelocalid="1649133464706" -Xdirection.

For r=1.0cm

E1=Eglass-Eplastic

E1=9×109N·m2/C210×10-9C(0.01m)(0.01m)2+0.12m2-9×109N·m2/C210×10-9C((0.04-0.01)m)((0.04-0.01)m)2+0.12m2

E1=(17.7-5.14)×104N/C

E1=12.56×104N/C

03

Calculation for electric field at distance r=2.0 cm andr=3.cm

For r=2.0cm:

localid="1649132926806" E2=Eglass-Eplastic

E2=9×109N·m2/C210×10-9C(0.02m)(0.02m)2+0.12m2-9×109N·m2/C210×10-9C((0.04-0.02)m)((0.04-0.02)m)2+0.12m2

E2=(8.35-8.35)×104N/C

E2=0N/C

For r=3.0cm

localid="1649132933182" E3=Eglass-Eplastic

E3=9×109N·m2/C210×10-9C(0.03m)(0.03m)2+0.12m2-9×109N·m2/C210×10-9C((0.04-0.03)m)((0.04-0.03)m)2+0.12m2

E3=(5.14-17.7)×104N/C

E3=-12.56N/C

In Problems 63 through 66 you are given the equation(s) used to solve a problem. For each of these

a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation(s).

b. Finish the solution of the problem

An electron is launched at a 45∘angle and a speed of 5.0×106m/sfrom the positive plate of the parallel-plate capacitor shown in FIGURE P23.52. The electron lands 4.0cmaway.

a. What is the electric field strength inside the capacitor?

b. What is the smallest possible spacing between the plates?

Reproduce FIGURE Q23.2on your paper. For each part, draw a dot or dots on the figure to show any position or positions (other than infinity) where →E=→0.

An electric field can induce an electric dipole in a neutral atom or molecule by pushing the positive and negative charges in opposite directions. The dipole moment of an induced dipole is directly proportional to the electric field. That is, p→=αE→, where αis called the polarizability of the molecule. A bigger field stretches the molecule farther and causes a larger dipole moment.

a. What are the units of α?

b. An ion with charge qis distancerfrom a molecule with polarizability α. Find an expression for the force F→ionondipole.

The combustion of fossil fuels produces micron-sized particles of soot, one of the major components of air pollution. The terminal speeds of these particles are extremely small, so they remain suspended in air for very long periods of time. Furthermore, very small particles almost always acquire small amounts of charge from cosmic rays and various atmospheric effects, so their motion is influenced not only by gravity but also by the earth's weak electric field. Consider a small spherical particle of radius r, density ÒÏ, and charge q. A small sphere moving with speed v experiences a drag force Fdrag=6πηrv, where η is the viscosity of the air. (This differs from the drag force you learned in Chapter 6 because there we considered macroscopic rather than microscopic objects.)

a. A particle falling at its terminal speed vtermis in equilibrium with no net force. Write Newton's first law for this particle falling in the presence of a downward electric field of strength E, then solve to find an expression for vterm.

b. Soot is primarily carbon, and carbon in the form of graphite has a density of 2200kg/m3. In the absence of an electric field, what is the terminal speed in mm/s of a 1.0-μm-diameter graphite particle? The viscosity of air at 20°C is 1.8×10-5kg/ms.

c. The earth's electric field is typically (150 N/C , downward). In this field, what is the terminal speed in mm/s of a 1.0 μm-diameter graphite particle that has acquired 250 extra electrons?
