- The electric potential of a charged conducting sphere (as well as a spherical shell) can be calculated as Q R' V = k where is the charge and R is the radius of the sphere. Calculate the electric potential of a solid conducting sphere of a radius of R = 6 cm if the sphere loses 0.1% from the total number of its free electrons. The sphere is made of aluminum and has the density 2.7 g/cm³, molar mass 27 g/mol and one free electron per atom. Follow the steps listed below. 1. Find the number of free electrons per cm³ in aluminum. The number of free electrons per cm³, ne = Units Select an answer ✓ 2. Calculate the volume of the sphere and use it to find the total number of free electron inside the sphere. The number of free electrons, Ne = Units Select an answer 3. Calculate the charge of the sphere after it loses 0.1% of its electrons and use it to find the potential of the sphere.

The particle is launched with a speed of 1.0 x 104 m/s at the left plate, and strikes the right plate at a speed of 5.0 x 10³ m/s. The left plate is at electric potential V₁ = +1.0 V, while the right plate is at electric potential V₂ = -5.0 V. Assume the electric field between the plates is uniform, and ignore the effect of gravity. 2 (a) (b) V₁ d 7 V₂ Does the potential energy of the particle increase or decrease as it moves from the left plate to the right plate? Is the electric field between the plates directed rightward or leftward? Justify your answers briefly. Show clearly that the electric field between the plates has magnitude 12 V/m (or 12 N/C). Then find the charge of the particle (with correct magnitude and sign). (Note: You may obtain the charge using either energy considerations or a "force and kinematics" approach.arrow_forward
