Two small aluminum spheres, each having mass 0.0250 kg , are separated by 80.0 cm . (a) How many electrons does each sphere contain? (The atomic mass of aluminum is 26.982 g/mol, and its atomic number is 13.) (b) How many electrons would have to be removed from one sphere and added to the other to cause an attractive force between the spheres of magnitude 1.00104N(roughly 1 ton)? Assume that the spheres may be treated as point charges. (c) What fraction of all the electrons in each sphere does this represent?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The number of electrons on the sphere is 7.251024electrons.
  2. The number electrons to be removed from one sphere and added to the other is localid="1668319958837" 5.2710155.271015electrons.
  3. The fraction of electrons represented in each sphere is 7.271010.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Concept of Coulomb’s Law

According to the Coulomb鈥檚 law, the force between two charges spaced at a distance is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically,

F=k|q1q2|r2 鈥.. (1)

Here F, is the force, q1and q2are the charges, k is the Coulomb鈥檚 charge, and r is the distance between two charges.

02

(a) Determination of the number of electrons on the sphere.

Consider the given data as below.

Mass, m = 0.0250 kg

The atomic mass, M = 26.982 g/mol = 0.026982 kg/mol

Avogadro number,NA=6.0221023mol1

A single Aluminium atom has 13 electrons. So the required quantity is the total number of Al atom on the sphere at first using the sphere mass and mass of single Al atom.

Thus, the number of electrons is equal to the number of proton on the sphere surface.

localid="1668319967001" ne=np=(13)NAmM=(13)6.0221023mol10.0250kg0.026982kg/mol=7.251024electrons

03

(b) Determination of the number electrons to be removed from one sphere and added to the other.

Coulomb force of attraction between the opposite charges is given as,

F=kq2r2

Consider the given data as below.

The force, F=1.00104N

The Coulomb鈥檚 constant,k=9109Nm2/C2

The distance between charges, r = 80 cm = 0.8 cm

Rewrite equation (1) as below.

localid="1668319977179" F=ke2r2|e|=Fr2k

Substitute known values in the above equation, and you have

|e|=1.00104N(0.800m)29109Nm2/C2=8.43104C

Thus, the number of electrons removed from one sphere and added to the other is

localid="1668319982850" ne=eq=8.43104C1.61019C=5.271015electrons.

Hence, the number electrons to be removed from one sphere and added to the other is5.271015electronslocalid="1668319985767" 5.271015electrons

04

(c) Determination of the fraction of electrons represented in each sphere.

From part (a) and (b),

ne=7.251024electronsne=5.271015electrons

Thus, the required fraction is,

nene=5.2710157.251024=7.271010

Hence, The fraction of electrons represented in each sphere is 7.271010.

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a 鈥100-W鈥 European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a 鈥100-W鈥 European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?

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?
