Two thin rods of length L lie along the x-axis, one between andx=12a+L the other between and . Each rod has positive charge Q distributed uniformly along its length. (a) Calculate the electric field produced by the second rod at points along the positive x-axis. (b) Show that the magnitude of the force that one rod exerts on the other is

(c) Show that if a>> L, the magnitude of this force reduces to. (Hint: Use the expansion dF=EdQ=Q4蟺蔚0L(1x+a21x+a2+L)dQ, valid for |z|1. Carry all expansions to at least order L2/ a2.) Interpret this result.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The electric field produced by the second rod at points along the positive x axis is

E=Q40L1x+a21x+a2+L

(b) The magnitude of the electric force that one rod exerts isF=Q240L2lna+L2a(a+2L)

(c) IfaL then the magnitude of the force isF=Q40a2

Step by step solution

01

Solving for the rod along positive x-axis


From the graph it is clear that the change in charge is given by:

dQdI=QLdQ=QLdx

To evaluate the electric field produced by the second rod we can use the following method:

dE=140dQr2=140QLdxr2=Q40Ldxx+a2+Lx

02

Integration

Now integrating the above equation, we get:

0ldE=01Q40Ldxx+a2+Lx=Q40L01dxx+a2+Lx=Q40L1x+a2+LL1x+a2+L0=Q40L1x+a2-1x+a2+L

03

Calculating the magnitude of the force

To calculate the force exerts on the rod we use the following relation:

E=dFdQdF=EdQ

Now substituting the value of electric field we get:

dF=EdQ=Q40L1x+a21x+a2+LdQ

Now from the graph we can see that the change is little which is given by:

dQdI=QLdQ=QLdx

Now, substituting from the previous calculations and integrating both sides we get:

dF=F=Q40LaLa2+L1x+a2++1x+a2+LdQ=Q240L2lnx+a2x+a2+La2a2+L=Q240L2ln(a+L)2a(a+2L)

04

Solving for a>>L

From the above statement we the magnitude of the electric force is give by:

F=Q240L2ln(a+L)2a(a+2L)

Now taking a as a common factor we get:

F=Q240L2lna2(1+L)2a21+2La=Q240L22ln1+Laln1+2La

Now using the given expansion, we solve:

F=Q240L22ln1+Laln1+2La=Q240L2lna2(1+L)2a21+2La=Q240L22LaL22a2+2La4L2a2+=Q240L2lna2(1+L)2a21+2La=Q240L2L2a2=Q240L2lna2(1+L)2a21+2La=Q240a2

Therefore, the magnitude of the force is:Q240a2

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?

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H-(the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeVto20MeV.This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible about 12000of the proton鈥檚 mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9T..(a) What is the speed of a 5.0-MeVH-? (b) If the H-has energy 5.0MeVandB=1.9T what is the radius of this ion鈥檚 circulator orbit?

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?

(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
