Get started for freeThe long rod shown in Figure 16.76 has length L and carries a uniform charge −Q. Calculate the potential difference . All of the distances are small compared to L. Explain your work carefully
You travel along a path from location A to location B, moving in the same direction as the direction of the net electric field in that region. What is true of the potential difference ? (1) , (2) , (3) .
In the region of space depicted in Figure 16.87 there are several stationary charged objects that are not shown in the diagram. Along a path you measure the following potential differences: ; ; . What is the potential difference ?
Four voltmeters are connected to a circuit as shown in figure 16.90. As is usual with voltmeters, the reading on the voltmeter is positive if the negative lead (black wire, usually labled COM) is connected to a location at lower potential, and the positive lead(red) is connected to a location at higher potential. The circuit contains two devices whose identity is unknown and a rod (green) of length 9 cm made of conducting material. At a particular moment, the reading observed in the voltmeters are, voltmeter A: -1.6 V, voltmeter B: -6 V, voltmeter A: -3.5 V. (a) At this moment, what is the reading on voltmeter D, both magnitude and sign? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field inside the rod?
A capacitor consists of two charged disks of radius separated by a distance, where. The magnitude of the charge on each disk is Q. Consider points A, B, C, and D inside the capacitor, as shown in Figure 16.88. (a) Show thatis the same for these paths by evaluating ∆V along each path: (1) Path 1:A = B = C, (2) Path 2:, (3) Path 3:. (b) If,,, and, what is the value of? (c) Choose two different paths from point A back to point A again, and show thatfor a round trip along both of these paths.
