Chapter 4: Q73P (page 718)

Imagine two 1.0g bags of protons, one at the earth鈥檚 north pole and the other at the south pole.

(a) How many protons are in each bag?

(b) Calculate the gravitational attraction and the electric repulsion that each bag exerts on the other.

(c) Are the forces in part (b) large enough for you to feel if you were holding one of the bags?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of protons is N=6.0脳1023.

Fe=4.9脳105NFg=3.9脳10-31N

The gravitational force is so small to be delectated but the electric force is so large.

Step by step solution

01

Number of protons.

Given d=2Re,mb=1.0脳10鈭�3kgandG=6.67脳10鈭�11N.m2kg鈭�2

a) The mass of proton is mp=1.67脳10-27kg so the total number of protons

mb=Nmp....=>(1)

Substitution in (1) yields

N=1.0脳10鈭�31.67脳10鈭�27N=6.0脳1023proton

Hence the number of protons is N=6.0脳1023

02

Calculation of electric and gravitational force.

The Electric force is

F=kq2d2鈥�鈥�.=(2)

The charge is given by

q=Ne=6脳1023脳6.67脳10鈭�19=6.9脳104C

The distance is twice as radius of earth

d=2脳6.371脳106=1.3脳107m

Substitute in (2)

Fe=9脳109脳9.6脳10421.3脳1072F胃=4.9脳105N

The gravitational force is given by

F=Gm1m2d2鈥�鈥�..>(3)

Substitute in (3)

Fg=6.67脳10鈭�11脳1.0脳10鈭�321.3脳1072Fg=3.9脳10鈭�31N

03

Conclusion

Hence the gravitational force is so small to be delectated but the electric force is so large.

Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to 500V and produce currents of 80mA(or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for 10ms. What power and how much energy are delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?

Suppose a resistor R lies alongeach edge of a cube (12 resistors in all)with connections at the corners. Find theequivalent resistance between two diagonally opposite corners of the cube (pointsa and b in Fig. P26.84).

(a) At room temperature, what is the strength of the electric field in a

12-gauge copper wire (diameter 2.05mm) that is needed to cause a 4.50-A

current to flow? (b) What field would be needed if the wire were made of silver

instead?

The capacity of a storage battery, such as those used in automobile electrical systems, is rated in ampere-hours .(A鈥�h)鈥�A50A鈥�hA battery can supply a current of50Afor 1.0h,or25Afor2.0hor for and so on. (a) What total energy can be supplied by a 12-v,60-A鈥�hbattery if its internal resistance is negligible? (b) What volume (in litres) of gasoline has a total heat of combustion equal to the energy obtained in part (a)? (See Section 17.6; the density of gasoline is 900kg/m3.) (c) If a generator with an average electrical power output ofrole="math" localid="1655719210000" 0.45kW is connected to the battery, how much time will be required for it to charge the battery fully?

In the circuit shown in Fig. E25.30, the 16.0-V battery is removed and reinserted with the opposite polarity, so that its negative terminal is now next to point a. Find (a) the current in the circuit (magnitude anddirection); (b) the terminal voltage Vbaof the 16.0-V battery; (c) the potential difference Vacof point awith respect to point c.
