The electric field along the axis of a uniformly charged disk of radius R and total charge Q was calculated in Example 23.3. Show that the electric field at distances x that are large compared with R approaches that of a particle with charge Q = R2. Suggestion: First show that x/(x2 + R2)1/2 = (1 + R2/x2)1/2 and use the binomial expansion (1 + )n = 1 + n, when 1.
Unreasonable results A wrecking yard inventor wants to pick up cars by charging a 0.400 m diameter ball and inducing an equal and opposite charge on the car. If a car has a 1000 kg mass and the ball is to be able to lift it from a distance of 1.00 m: (a) What minimum charge must be used? (b) What is the electric field near the surface of the ball? (c) Why are these results unreasonable? (d) Which premise or assumption is responsible?
Review. From a large distance away, a particle of mass m1, and positive charge q1 is fired at speed in the positive x direction straight toward a second particle, originally stationary but free to move, with mass m2, and positive charge q2. Both particles are constrained to move only along the x axis. (a) At the instant of closest approach, both particles will be moving at the same velocity. Find this velocity, (b) Find the distance of closest approach. After the interaction, the particles will move far apart again. At this time, find the velocity of (c) the particle of mass m1, and (d) the particle of mass m2.
(a) Would life be different if the electron were positively charged and the proton were negatively charged? (b) Does the choice of signs have any bearing on physical and chemical interactions? Explain your answers.
Analyze the illustration below. Assume that the dot in the center of every line is of a similar charge for all the arrangements. -q +q -b- +q +q -q -- +q +q +q +q +q a. Identify which central charge has the biggest net force acting on it. b. Describe the net force on the central charge of the other 2 arrangements. c. If the central charge is positive, what will be the direction of the net force?
3. In a particle accelerator, particles such as electrons are placed in an electric field between oppositely charged electric plates. The particle accelerates through the uniform electric field then passes through a gap (aperture) in the plate the particle is accelerating towards. a. Briefly explain why the electron, once it passes through the plate, is not pulled back into the gap. b. How can a particle accelerator for an electron be modified to accelerate a proton?
3 Charge Deflector E beam An experiment to look for a charge imbalance between the proton and electron is constructed as shown. A beam of particles moving at speed vo = 1.0 x 106 m/s is prepared in an accelerator. Before striking the detector, the beam passes through a region of length L = 10 m that contains a uniform electric field of strength & = 100 N/C perpendicular to the beam. (a) Where would a proton from the beam be expected to strike the detector? (L.e., how many meters above or below the beam line would it strike?) (b) Where would an electron from the beam be expected to strike the detector? (L.e., how many meters above or below the beam line would it strike?) (c) We do not believe a hydrogen atom has any charge, but an experiment can only put an upper limit on the net charge - not prove that it is zero. Suppose the detector in this experiment is unable to detect a deflection less than 1 nm. I.c., if the deflection is 1 nm or less, the detector will register "0" deflection.…
Problem #6 Sketch the charges and then draw at least ten electric field lines that thoroughly reveal the direction of the election field in every direction for each of the three following scenarios: (a) two point charges with equal magnitudes and opposite charges, (b) two point charges where one has twice the magnitude of the other and the charges are opposite, (c) two point charges with equal magnitudes and identical charges.
#3A neutral molecule is polarized in the proximity of a 10muC charge. It can be modeled as two equal and opposite point charges, e and -e, separated by 0.5 angstroms (10^-10m or 0.1nm). What is the net force on the molecule by the 10muC charge if the distance between them is 1 meter?
Q3. Two square plates of sides l are placed parallel to each other with separation d. You may assume d is much less than 1. The plates carry uniformly distributed static charges +Qo and -Qo. A block of metal has width 1, length 1, and thickness slightly less than d. It is inserted a distance x into the space between the plates. The charges on the plates remain uniformly distributed as the block slides in. In a static situation, a metal prevents an electric field from penetrating inside it. The metal can be thought of as a perfect dielectric, with K → 0. + + + + + +Qo (a) Calculate the stored energy in the system as a function of x.
4. You are building a Coulomb gun, that is, a device that uses the Coulomb force to fire a bullet as shown in Figure 3. Initially, two identical charged spheres of radius, Rand mass, mare held in place inside an insulating frictionless barrel of length, L (where L is defined in Figure 3). They are separated by a thin insulating barrier and carry identical positive charges. When the trigger of the gun is pulled, the right sphere is released from rest. L. Figure 3 a) Calculate the value Q of the spheres' charges such that the bullet (the right sphere) has a speed, vwhen its center reaches the end of the barrel. You can treat the charges as point charges at the centers of their respective spheres. b) Determine the magnitude of the force required to hold the bullet in place before the trigger is pulled.
Charged tape A strip of invisible tape 12 cm by 2 cm is charged uniformly with a total net charge of 4 x 108 coulomb and hangs vertically. You wish to determine the electric field at a perpendicular distance of 3 cm from the center of the tape. Which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply.) O It is better to use more, smaller pieces, because each piece is more like a point charge. O Using 3 pieces gives a more accurate result than using 8 pieces. O Using more than 8 pieces would make the calculation more accurate. O Using more than 8 pieces would not make the calculation more accurate. OUsing fewer pieces reduces the error. Using 8 pieces gives a more accurate result than using 3 pieces.
