Chapter 4: Q5DQ (page 744)

A spherical Gaussian surface encloses a point charge q. If the point charge is moved from the canter of the sphere to a point away from the canter, does the electric field at a point on the surface change? Does the total flux through the Gaussian surface change? Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric field E on the surface do changes, however the electric flux doesn鈥檛 change

Step by step solution

01

From Coulomb’s law

From the equation of the Coulomb鈥檚 law E=14蟺蔚oqr2, we can see that the electric field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance represented by r, therefore any change in the distance between the charge will also change the electric field.

02

Total flux through the Gaussian surface

To Calculate the electric flux, we can apply the Gauss鈥檚 formula:桅E=Qenci蔚o

Gauss鈥檚 law states that the electric flux depends on the charges inside the surface of the object. As the charges inside remains same so the electric flux will also not change.

(b) the surface and the point 1.00cm from the central axis of the cylinder?

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?

Question: You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in Fig. 26.20a, where R = 12.0 鈩� and C = 5.00 x 10-6 F. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the current in the circuit has a magnitude of 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10-6 C. (a) What is the emf of the battery? (b) At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 40.0 x 10-6 C? (c) When the current has magnitude 3.00 A, at what rate is energy being (i) stored in the capacitor, (ii) supplied by the battery

Displacement Current in a Dielectric. Suppose that the parallel plates in Fig. 29.23 have an area of 3.00 cm2 and are separated by a 2.50-mm-thick sheet of dielectric that completely fills the volume between the plates. The dielectric has dielectric constant 4.70. (You can ignore fringing effects.) At a certain instant, the potential difference between the plates is 120 V and the conduction current iC equals 6.00 mA. At this instant, what are (a) the charge q on each plate; (b) the rate of change of charge on the plates; (c) the displacement current in the dielectric?

A long, straight solenoid with a cross-sectional area of 8.00 cm2 is wound with 90 turns of wire per centimetre, and the windings carry a current of 0.350 A. A second winding of 12 turns encircles the solenoid at its centre. The current in the solenoid is turned off such that the magnetic field of the solenoid becomes zero in 0.0400 s. What is the average induced emf in the second winding?
