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, , where is 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 ?
b. An ion with charge is distancefrom a molecule with polarizability . Find an expression for the force .
An infinite plane of charge with surface charge density has a -diameter circular hole cut out of it. What is the electric field strength directly over the center of the hole at a distance of ?
Hint: Can you create this charge distribution as a superposition of charge distributions for which you know the electric field?
The irregularly shaped area of charge in FIGURE has surface charge density. Each dimension (x and y) of the area is reduced by a factor of .
a. What is the ratio , where is the final surface charge density?
b. An electron is very far from the area. What is the ratio of the electric force on the electron after the area is reduced to the force before the area was reduced?
A -diameter glass sphere has a charge of . What speed does an electron need to orbit the sphere above the surface?
A parallel-plate capacitor is formed from two --diameter electrodes spaced apart. The electric field strength inside the capacitor is . What is the charge (in ) on each electrode?
