Question
A hollow, thin-walled insulating cylinder of radius R and length L (like the cardboard tube in a roll of toilet paper) has charge Q uniformly distributed over its surface.
Part A Calculate the electric potential at any point x along the axis of the tube. Take the origin to be at the center of the tube, and take the potential to be zero at infinity. Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and appropriate constants.
Part B Use the result of part A to find the electric field at any point x along the axis of the tube. Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and appropriate constants.

- Please answer this, with complete answer An isolated solid spherical conductor of radius 5.00cm is surrounded by dry air. It is given a charge and acquires potential V, with the potential at infinity assumed to be zero. a. Calculate the maximum magnitude can have. b. Explain clearly and concisely why there is a maximum.arrow_forwardThe vertical deflecting plates of a typical classroom oscilloscope are a pair of parallel square metal plates carrying equal but opposite charges. The potential difference between the plates is 25.0 V. Typical dimensions are about 3.3 cm on a side, with a separation of about 5.0 mm. The plates are close enough that we can ignore fringing at the ends. Part A: Under these conditions, how much charge is on each plate?(Express your answer in coulombs.) Part B: How strong is the electric field between the plates?(Express your answer in volts per meter.) Part C:If an electron is ejected at rest from the negative plates, how fast is it moving when it reaches the positive plate?(Express your answer in meters per second.)arrow_forwardplease solve clearlyarrow_forward
