Chapter 25: Q. 71 (page 713)

FIGURE P25.71 shows a thin rod with charge Q that has been bent into a semicircle of radius R. Find an expression for the electric potential at the center.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric potential as the center iskQR.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We need to find an expression for the electric potential at the center.

02

Explanation

Let us consider that if we have more than one point, the potential can be written as

V=k鈭�qr.

In this case, one might first thing we need to integrate, but in fact we can't, as all the charge parts, however we split them, are equally distant from the point of interest. That is, we have

V=kR鈭�qV=kQR

FIGURE P25.69 shows a thin rod of length L and charge Q. Find an expression for the electric potential a distance x away from the center of the rod on the axis of the rod.

Physicists often use a different unit of energy, the electron volt, when dealing with energies at the atomic level. One electron volt, abbreviated eV, is defined as the amount of kinetic energy gained by an electron upon accelerating through a 1.0 V potential difference. a. What is 1 electron volt in joules? b. What is the speed of a proton with 5000 eV of kinetic energy?

A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallelplate capacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the negative plate with a speed of 50,000m/s. The experiment is repeated with aHe+ ion (charge e, mass4u ). What is the ion's speed at the negative plate?

A -10.0 nC point charge and a +20.0 nC point charge are 15.0 cm apart on the x-axis. a. What is the electric potential at the point on the x-axis where the electric field is zero? b. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the point on the x-axis, between the charges, where the electric potential is zero?

Three electrons form an equilateral triangle with 1.0 nm on each side. A proton is at the center of the triangle. What is the potential energy of this group of charges?
