Chapter 26: Q. 4 (page 736)

Estimate the electric fields E→1and E→2 at points 1 and 2 in Figure Q26.4. Don’t forget thatE→ is a vector.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The electric field remains constant while the potential increases uniformly.

Step by step solution

01

: Given information and formula used   

Given :

Theory used :

Electric Field is given by : E=Vr

02

Estimating E→1 and E→2

(a) As per the figure,

V = 5 volts, r=0.5m

So, E=50.5=10V/m(direction : Leftwards )

(b) As per the figure,

V = 35 volts, r = 3.5m

So, E=353.5=10V/m(direction : Rightwards )

What are the charge on and the potential difference across each capacitor in FIGURE P26.57?

Two 10-cm-diameter electrodes 0.50 cm apart form a parallelplate capacitor. The electrodes are attached by metal wires to the terminals of a 15 V battery. What are the charge on each electrode, the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and the potential difference between the electrodes a. While the capacitor is attached to the battery? b. After insulating handles are used to pull the electrodes away from each other until they are 1.0 cm apart? The electrodes remain connected to the battery during this process. c. After the original electrodes (not the modified electrodes of part b) are expanded until they are 20 cm in diameter while remaining connected to the battery?

The electric potential is 40Vat point A near a uniformly charged sphere. At point B, 2.0μmfarther away from the sphere, the potential has decreased by 0.16 mV. How far is point A from the center of the sphere?
