Chapter 4: Q30E (page 715)

(a) Calculate the magnitude and direction (relative to the +x-axis) of the electric field in Example 21.6. (b) A -2.5-nC point charge is placed at point P in Fig. 21.19. Find the magnitude and direction of (i) the force that the -8.0-nC charge at the origin exerts on this charge and (ii) the force that this charge exerts on the -8.0-nC charge at the origin.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnitude and the electric field is 18N and the direction is 127掳
  2. (i) Force isF=4.5脳10-8N and towards 307掳.

(ii) Force is F=4.5脳10-8Nand towards 127掳.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

The magnitude of the electric field is

E=kqr2=kqx2+y22=9脳109脳8脳10-91.22+1.622=18N/C

And the direction of the electric field is

胃=arctan-1.61.2=-53掳asitis2ndquad胃=-53+180=127掳

Hence, the magnitude and the electric field is 18N and the direction is127掳.

02

Step 2:

(i)As the charge at (p) is negative therefore the force is in the opposite direction

F=Eq=18脳2.5脳10-9=4.5脳10-8N

As it is in the forth quad

胃f=127+180=307掳

Therefore, Force is F=4.5脳10-8Nand towards307掳 .

(ii)The force exerted on charge at the origin is equal to F

role="math" localid="1668174608326" F=4.5脳10-8Nangle胃;胃=370-180=127掳

Hence, Force is F=4.5脳10-8Nand towards 127掳.

Can potential difference between the terminals of a battery ever be opposite in direction to the emf? If it can, give an example. If it cannot, explain why not.

An 18-gauge copper wire (diameter 1.02 mm) carries a current

with a current density of 3.2脳106Am2. The density of free electrons for

copper is8.5脳1028electrons per cubic meter. Calculate (a) the current in

the wire and (b) the drift velocity of electrons in the wire.

Two copper wires with different diameter are joined end to end. If a current flow in the wire combination, what happens to electrons when they move from the large diameter wire into the smaller diameter wire? Does their drift speed increase, decrease, or stay the same? If the drift speed change, what is the role the force that causes the change? Explain your reasoning.

BIO Transmission of Nerve Impulses. Nerve cells transmit electric

signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a

sudden rush of Na+ions, each with charge +e, into the axon. Measurements

have revealed that typically about 5.6脳1011Na+ions enter each meter of the

axon during a time of . What is the current during this inflow of charge

in a meter of axon?

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.
