Chapter 4: Q1DQ (page 744)

A rubber balloon has a single point charge in its interior. Does the electric flux through the balloon depend on whether or not it is fully inflated? Explain your reasoning.

Short Answer

Expert verified

No, the electric flux does not depend on whether the balloon is fully inflated or not.

Step by step solution

01

Net flux on the surface on a closed body

According to Gauss鈥檚 law the net flux on the surface of a closed body is given by dividing the enclosed charge on permittivity of space. The electric flux through a closed surface is zero only if the net charge enclosed by the body is also zero

02

Electric flux through a balloon

In the above statement we have seen that net flux on the surface of a closed body depends on the net charge enclosed inside the body. Therefore, it doesn鈥檛 depend on the geometry of the body containing charge. Hence, electric flux through the balloon doesn鈥檛 depend on whether it is fully inflated or not.

Small aircraft often have 24 V electrical systems rather than the 12 V systems in automobiles, even though the electrical power requirements are roughly the same in both applications. The explanation given by aircraft designers is that a 24 V system weighs less than a 12 V system because thinner wires can be used. Explain why this is so.

An emf source with E = 120 V, a resistor with R = 80.0 鈩�, and a capacitor with C = 4.00 碌F are connected in series. As the capacitor charges, when the current in the resistor is 0.900 A, what is the magnitude of the charge on each plate of the capacitor?

The current in a wire varies with time according to the relationship

I=55A-(0.65As2)t2. (a) How many coulombs of charge pass a cross section of the wire in

the time interval between t=0and role="math" localid="1655721302619" t=8.0s? (b) What constant current would transport the

same charge in the same time interval?

Question: A conducting sphere is placed between two charged parallel plates such as those shown in Figure. Does the electric field inside the sphere depend on precisely where between the plates the sphere is placed? What about the electric potential inside the sphere? Do the answers to these questions depend on whether or not there is a net charge on the sphere? Explain your reasoning.

In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.47 each capacitor initially has a charge of magnitude 3.50 nC on its plates. After the switch S is closed, what will be the current in the circuit at the instant that the capacitors have lost 80.0% of their initial stored energy?
