Chapter 26: Q. 11 (page 738)

Figure EX26.11 is a graph ofVversusx. Draw the corresponding graph ofExversusx.

Short Answer

Expert verified

We've drawn the required graph withEx=-2000

Step by step solution

01

Given information and theory used  

Given :

Theory used :

The field component E is equal to minus the slope of the graph of the potential V

02

Calculating Ex

The field component Eis equal to minus the slope of the graph of the potential V

As a result, forxbetween 0and10cmandx>20cm, because Vdoes not vary. Between 10and20cm, the potential varies in a consistent manner from -100Vto100V,assuming a constant field of :

Ex=-100V-(-100V)0.2m-0.1m=-2000V/m.

Consider a uniformly charged sphere of radius R and total cAlC charge Q. The electric field Eout outside the sphere(r≥R) is simply that of a point charge Q. In Chapter 24, we used Gauss's law to find that the electric field Ein inside the sphere(r≤R) is radially outward with field strength

Ein=14πϵ0QR3r

a. The electric potential Voutoutside the sphere is that of a point charge Q. Find an expression for the electric potentialVinat position r inside the sphere. As a reference, let Vin=Voutat the surface of the sphere.

b. What is the ratio Vcenter/Vsurface?

c. Graph V versus r for 0 ≤r ≤3 R.

A 2.0cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50mmis charged to 200V. What are

(a) the total energy stored in the electric field and

(b) the energy density?

A typical cell has a membrane potential of -70mV, meaning that the potential inside the cell is 70mV less than the potential outside due to a layer of negative charge on the inner surface of the cell wall and a layer of positive charge on the outer surface. This effectively makes the cell wall a charged capacitor. Because a cell's diameter is much larger than the wall thickness, it is reasonable to ignore the curvature of the cell and think of it as a parallel-plate capacitor. How much energy is stored in the electric field of a 50μmdiameter cell with a 7.0nmthick cell wall whose dielectric constant is 9.0?

A switch that connects a battery to a 10 mF capacitor is closed. Several seconds later you find that the capacitor plates are charged to ±30 mC. What is the emf of the battery?

In Problems 75 through 77, you are given the equation(s) used to solve a problem. For each of these, you are to: a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation (s). b. Finish the solution to the problem.

2azV/m=-dVdzwhereas a is a constant with units ofV/m2V(z=0)=10V.
