The electric potential at the dot in FIGURE EX25.32 is 3140 V. What is charge q ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of the potential enegy of the dot points is 10nC

Step by step solution

01

 Explanation of  the  the potential enegy  of a point

The equation of the potential energy of a dot point is

V=14πε0qr

Where q is the charge point, r is the distance and ε0is the permittivity free space.

the value of the distance d from the q point of the figure to A point is

d=2.0cm2+4.0cm2=4.47cm

r1=2.0cm=0.02mr2=4.0cm=0.04md=4.47cm=0.0447m

The potential energy at the point A for the responsible charge q1

V1=1(4πε0)q1r11(4πε0)=9.0×109Nm2/C2q1=5.0×10-9Cr1=0.02mV1=9.0×109Nm2/C2×5.0×10-9C0.02m=2250V

02

The theory of the total  energy 

The potential energy at the point A for the responsible chargeq2

V2=1(4πε0)q2r21(4πε0)=9.0×109Nm2/C2q2=-5.0×10-9Cr2=0.04mV2=9.0×109Nm2/C2(-5.0×10-9C)0.04m=1125V

The potential energy at the point A for the responsible charge q is

V3=1(4πε0)qd1(4πε0)=9.0×109Nm2/C2d=0.0447mV3=9.0×109Nm2/C2(q)0.0447m=(201×109V/C)q

V3=1(4πε0)qd1(4πε0)=9.0×109Nm2/C2d=0.0447mV3=9.0×109Nm2/C2(q)0.0447m=(201×109V/C)q

The total potential energy
localid="1648300123891" V1+V2+V3=2250V+1125V+(201×109V/C)q

As the value of V has been said 3140V

localid="1648300321471" VT=V1+V2+V3=2250V+1125V+(201×109V/C)×q+3140V=2250V+1125V+(201×109V/C)×qq=2015V(201×109V/C)=10nC

Therefore, the value of the potential energy of the dot points is 10nC.

In Problems 74 through 76 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.

One form of nuclear radiation, beta decay, occurs when a neutron changes into a proton, an electron, and a neutral particle called a neutrino: n→p++e-+vwhere nis the symbol for a neutrino. When this change happens to a neutron within the nucleus of an atom, the proton remains behind in the nucleus while the electron and neutrino are ejected from the nucleus. The ejected electron is called a beta particle. One nucleus that exhibits beta decay is the isotope of hydrogen 3H, called tritium, whose nucleus consists of one proton (making it hydrogen) and two neutrons (giving tritium an atomic mass m=3u). Tritium is radioactive, and it decays to helium: H3→H3e+e-+n

a. Is charge conserved in the beta decay process? Explain.

b. Why is the final product a helium atom? Explain.

c. The nuclei of both H3andH3e have radii of 1.5×10-15m. With what minimum speed must the electron be ejected if it is to escape from the nucleus and not fall back?
