Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) A disc with a radius of Rand a charge of Qthat is uniformly distributed. Discover an equation for the strength of the electric field at a point Pon the axis at a distance zfrom the center.

(b) The solution isz=R3

Step by step solution

01

Given information and formula used

Given :

η2ε0[1-zz2+R2]=12η2ε0

Theory used :

The electric field due to a uniformly charged disc at a point very distant from the surface of the disc is given by:

E=σ2ε0

(σ is the surface charge density on the disc)

02

Writing a realistic problem and finding the solution of the problem 

(a) Realistic problem :

Given a disc with a radius of Rand a charge of Qthat is uniformly distributed. Discover an equation for the strength of the electric field at a point Pon the axis at a distance zfrom the center. If

η2ε0[1-zz2+R2]=12η2ε0

(b) Solution :

From the previous expression, finding the value of z :

η2ε0[1-zz2+R2]=12η2ε0⇒1-zz2+R2=12⇒z2z2+R2=14⇒z2+R2=4z2⇒z=R3

You've hung two very large sheets of plastic facing each other with distancedbetween them, as shown inFIGUREEX23.20. By rubbing them with wool and silk, you've managed to give one sheet a uniform surface charge density and the other a uniη1=-η0form surface charge density η2=+3η0. What are the electric field vectors at points1,2and3?

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?

Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small 6.0-cm-long plastic drink stirrer. You decide that you’ll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in FIGURE P23.56. When you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. Suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to 10nCand that the linear charge density of the long wire is 1.0×10-7C/m. What is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is 2.0cmaway?

Hint: The stirrer cannot be modeled as a point charge; an integration is required.

The ozone molecule O3 has a permanent dipole moment of 11.8×10-30Cm. Although the molecule is very slightly bent— which is why it has a dipole moment—it can be modeled as a uniform rod of length 2.5×10-10m with the dipole moment perpendicular to the axis of the rod. Suppose an ozone molecule is in a 5000N/C uniform electric field. In equilibrium, the dipole moment is aligned with the electric field. But if the molecule is rotated by a small angle and released, it will oscillate back and forth in simple harmonic motion. What is the frequency f of oscillation?

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.
