An electric dipole is formed from two charges, ±q, spaced1.0cm apart. The dipole is at the origin, oriented along the y-axis. The electric field strength at the point x,y=(0cm,10cm)is 360N/C.

a. What is the charge q? Give your answer in nC.

b. What is the electric field strength at the pointx,y=10cm,0cm?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The charge q is 2.003×10-11C.

(b) The electric field strength is8.96N/C

Step by step solution

01

Given information (part a)

Coordinates

+q=0,0.5cm-q=0,0.5cmE=360N/C

02

Explanation (part a)

The electric field due to a dipole is given by

E=p/2πεy3Where P=dipole moment and r= distance of dipole to point of electric field=10cm=0.10m. E=electric field strength at (0,10)=360N/C.

So, role="math" localid="1648660696169" E=p/2πεr3

role="math" localid="1648660707891" p=2πεr3E=2π×8.854×10-12×(0.10m)3×360N/C=2.003×10-13Cm

q=ÒÏd=2.003×10-13Cm0.01m=2.003×10-11C

03

Given information (part b)

+q=0,0.5cm-q=0,0.5cmE=360N/C

04

Explanation (part b)

The electric field at the perpendicular axis 10,0:

E=q×xπϵ0d2+4x23=2.003×10-11C×0.10mπ×8.854×10-120.012+4×(0.1)23=8.96N/C

A problem of practical interest is to make a beam of electrons turn a 90°corner. This can be done with the parallel-plate capacitor shown in FIGURE. An electron with kinetic energy 3.0×10-17Jenters through a small hole in the bottom plate of the capacitor.

a. Should the bottom plate be charged positive or negative relative to the top plate if you want the electron to turn to the right? Explain.

b. What strength electric field is needed if the electron is to emerge from an exit hole 1.0cmaway from the entrance hole, traveling at right angles to its original direction?

Hint: The difficulty of this problem depends on how you choose your coordinate system.

c. What minimum separation dminmust the capacitor plates have?

FIGURE shows a thin rod of length Lwith total charge Q.

a. Find an expression for the electric field strength at point Pon the axis of the rod at distance rfrom the center.

b. Verify that your expression has the expected behavior if r≫L.

c. Evaluate Eat r=3.0cmif L=5.0cmand Q=3.0nC.

What are the strength and direction of the electric field at the position indicated by the dot in FIGURE EX23.2? Specify the direction as an angle above or below horizontal.

Air "breaks down" when the electric field strength reaches 3.0×106N/c, causing a spark. A parallel-plate capacitor is made from two 4.0cm×4.0cm electrodes. How many electrons must be transferred from one electrode to the other to create a spark between the electrodes?

Two10cmdiameter charged rings face each other,20cmapart. Both rings are charged to+20nC. What is the electric field strength at (a) the midpoint between the two rings and (b) the center of the left ring?
