Chapter 4: Q6DQ (page 1072)

Suppose that a positive point charge q is initially at rest on the x-axis, in the path of the electromagnetic plane wave described in Section 32.2. Will the charge move after the wave front reaches it? If not, why not? If the charge does move, describe its motion qualitatively. (Remember that Euand B蠀have the same value at all points behind the wave front.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

A constant acceleration will be experienced by the point charge.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of point charge.

It is a single point in space where a charge is located.

02

Conclusion.

After reaching the uniform charge, a constant electric field in the wave exerts a constant force on the charge in the direction of E, causing thecharge to accelerate at a constant rate.

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.
