Chapter 4: Q56E (page 717)

The dipole moment of the water molecule (H2O) is6.17脳10鈭�30C/m. Consider a water molecule located at the origin whose dipole moment p points in the +x direction. A chlorine ion (Cl-), of charge鈭�1.60脳10鈭�19C, is located atx=3.00脳10鈭�9m. Find the magnitude and direction of the electric force that the water molecule exerts on the chlorine ion. Is this force attractive or repulsive? Assume that x is much larger than the separation d between the charges in the dipole, so that the approximate expression for the electric field along the dipole axis derived in Example 21.14 can be used.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The direction of the force is in negative x direction and the magnitude is 6.58脳10鈭�13N

Step by step solution

01

Electric field due to the dipole

Calculate the force that is exerted by the electric dipole by

F鈫�=qE鈫�

where q= charge and E=electric field applied

Electric field applied by the electric dipole in the x direction is:

Ex=12蟺蔚opx3

where 14蟺蔚0=9.0脳109N鈰�m2/C2

02

Force exerted due to the electric field

From the above equations calculate F:

F=12蟺蔚0qpx3=18.0脳109N鈰�m2/C2鈭�1.6脳10鈭�19C6.17脳10鈭�30Cm3脳10鈭�9m3=鈭�6.58脳10鈭�13N

Since the value of force F is negative the direction is in negative x direction.

Therefore, the direction of the force is in negative x direction and the magnitude is 鈭�6.58脳10鈭�13N.

Light Bulbs in Series and in Parallel. Two light bulbs have constant resistances of 400惟and 800惟. If the two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120Vline, find (a) the current through each bulb; (b) the power dissipated in each bulb; (c) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. The two light bulbs are now connected in parallel across the120Vline. Find (d) the current through each bulb; (e) the power dissipated in each bulb; (f) the total power dissipated in both bulbs. (g) In each situation, which of the two bulbs glows the brightest? (h) In which situation is there a greater total light output from both bulbs combined?

Two 120-V light bulbs, one 25-W and one 200-W, were connected in series across a 240-V line. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but one bulb burned out almost immediately. Which one burned out, and why?

Why does an electric light bulb nearly always burn out just as you turn on the light, almost never while the light is shining?

Question: The two charges q1 and q2shown in Fig. have equal magnitudes. What is the direction of the net electric field due to these two charges at points A (midway between the charges), B, and C if (a) both charges are negative, (b) both charges are positive, (c) q1 is positive and q2 is negative?

Two metal spheres are hanging from nylon threads. When you bring the spheres close to each other, they tend to attract. Based on this information alone, discuss all the possible ways that the spheres could be charged. Is it possible that after the spheres touch, they will cling together? Explain.
