Chapter 4: Q62P (page 717)

Two identical spheres with mass m are hung from silk threads of length L (Fig. P21.62). The spheres have the same charge, so q1 = q2 = q. The radius of each sphere is very small compared to the distance between the spheres, so they may be treated as point charges. Show that if the angle u is small, the equilibrium separation d between the spheres is d = (q2尝/2饾洃蔚0尘驳)1/3 (Hint: If饾泬is small, then tan饾泬鈮卻in饾泬.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

If the angle u is small, the equilibrium separation d between the spheres is d=2Lq24蟺蔚omg13.

Step by step solution

01

Component of forces

Since the charges are in equilibrium:

鈭�Fx=Tsin胃=14蟿蟿蔚oq2d鈭�Fy=Tcos胃=mg

02

Step 2:

From Step 1, we get

Tsin胃Tcos胃=14蟺蔚oq2d2mgtan胃=14蟺蔚oq2d2mgd2=q24蟺蔚o尘驳迟补苍胃

03

Step 3:

sin胃=d2L

Since胃<<1, use the approximation

tan胃鈮�sin胃=d2Ld2=2Lq24蟺蔚omgdd3=2Lq24蟺蔚omgd=2Lq24蟺蔚omg1/3

Hence, proved.

Could an accelerator be built in which all the forces on the particles, for steering and for increasing speed, are magnetic forces? Why or why not?

In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.41, both capacitors are initially charged to 45.0 V. (a) How long after closing the switch S will the potential across each capacitor be reduced to 10.0 V, and (b) what will be the current at that time?

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.

When switch Sin Fig. E25.29 is open, the voltmeter V reads 3.08 V. When the switch is closed, the voltmeter reading drops to 2.97 V, and the ammeter A reads 1.65 A. Find the emf, the internal resistance of the battery, and the circuit resistance R. Assume that the two meters are ideal, so they don鈥檛 affect the circuit.
