Chapter 4: Q12E (page 809)

A cylindrical capacitor has an inner conductor of radius 2.2 mm and an outer conductor of radius 3.5 mm. The two conductors are separated by vacuum, and the entire capacitor is 2.8 m long.

(a) What is the capacitance per unit length?

(b) The potential of the inner conductor is 350 mV higher than that of the outer conductor. Find the charge (magnitude and sign) on both conductors.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The capacitance per unit length is 120.0pF/m.

The charge of the inner conductor is Q = +118pC and outer conductor is Q - 118pC

Step by step solution

01

About capacitance per unit length.

The potential V between the cylinders is not affected by the presence of

the charged outer cylinder and the capacitance per unit length C/L is given by

Now we can plug our values forandinto equation(1)

Hence, the capacitance per unit length is 120.0pF/m.

02

Calculation of charge when potential is given.

We are given the potential of the inner conductor V = 350 mV and higher than that of the outer conductor, which means the positive charge is on the inner conductor and the negative charge is on the outer conductor. To find the charge Q we can use the equation

Hence, the charge of the inner conductor is Q = +118pC and outer conductor is Q - 118pC.

A resistor with resistance Ris connected to a battery that has emf 12.0 V and internal resistance r=0.40惟. For what two values of R will the power dissipated in the resistor be 80.0 W ?

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a 鈥�100-W鈥� European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?

A light bulb glows because it has resistance. The brightness of a light bulb increases with the electrical power dissipated in the bulb. (a) In the circuit shown in Fig. Q25.14a, the two bulbs A and B are identical. Compared to bulb A, does bulb B glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning. (b) Bulb B is removed from the circuit and the circuit is completed as shown in Fig. Q25.14b. Compared to the brightness of bulb A in Fig. Q25.14a, does bulb A now glow more brightly, just as brightly, or less brightly? Explain your reasoning
