What is the electric potential at the point indicated a dot in FIGURE EX25.31?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of electric potential of the dot point of the figure25.31 is1.7×102m

Step by step solution

01

Theory electric potential 

The electric potential equation of a dot points

V=14πε0qr

where the q is the charge points, r is the distance and ε0permittivity free space

For the multiple Points iVi=14πε0qiri

From the given triangle, all distances from O to other points A, B, C are equal.

Due to these facts,OA=OB=OC

OA=OB=OC

02

Value Calculation 

Now, the length of the bc is equal to

12AC=12(3.0)cm=1.5cm

On the basis of the right-angle triangle

the length of

OC=bCcosObC=1.5cmcos30°=1.7×10-2

The Value of the Electric Potential of the dot point is

1.7×10-2

A 2.0-mm-diameter glass bead is positively charged. The potential difference between a point 2.0 mm from the bead and a point 4.0 mm from the bead is 500 V. What is the charge on the bead?

Two positive point charges are5.0cm apart. If the electric potential energy is72μJ , what is the magnitude of the force between the two charges?

Your lab assignment for the week is to measure the amount of charge on the 6.0-cm-diameter metal sphere of a Van de Graaff generator. To do so, you’re going to use a spring with a spring constant of 0.65 N/m to launch a small, 1.5 g bead horizontally toward the sphere. You can reliably charge the bead to 2.5 nC, and your plan is to use a video camera to measure the bead’s closest approach to the edge of the sphere as you change the compression of the spring. Your data is as follows:

Use an appropriate graph of the data to determine the sphere’s charge in nC. You can assume that the bead’s motion is entirely horizontal, that the spring is so far away that the bead has no interaction with the sphere as it’s launched, and that the approaching bead does not alter the charge distribution on the sphere.

A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallelplate capacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the negative plate with a speed of 50,000 m/s. What will be the final speed of an electron released from rest at the negative plate?

Two10-cm-diameter electrodes 0.50cmapart form a parallel plate capacitor. The electrodes are attached by metal wires to

the terminals of a 15Vbattery. After a long time, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery but is not discharged. What are the charge on each electrode, the electric field strength inside the capacitor, and the potential difference between the electrodes

a. Right after the battery is disconnected?

b. After insulating handles are used to pull the electrodes away from each other until they are 1.0cmapart?

c. After the original electrodes (not the modified electrodes of part b) are expanded until they are 20cmin diameter?
