- I have a piece of PVC that keeps attracting particles to it like dust, hair, etc. (seemingly to be statically charged to the PVC). Please explain the process of why it is happening and provide sources for the information used to answer the question.arrow_forwardIn this problem we explore dipoles as sources of fields and their interactions with other charges An induced dipole is a dipole (separated, opposite charges) whose charge separation and dipole moment are caused by the presence of an external electric field, often due to some other source charge. Often, the induced dipole moment is proportional to that electric field at the location of the dipole. For example, when a charged piece of tape is near your finger, the charges inside the neutral atoms in your finger move in response to the tape's field at the location of the finger, and each atom in the finger becomes a dipole. The closer the tape is to the finger, the stronger the tape's field, the more the charges move and the larger the dipole moments of the atoms in the finger. Mathematically, we can write this as p = aE, where p is the dipole moment, E is the strength of the electric field at the location of the dipole, and a is a constant that depends on the type of atom and gives the…arrow_forwardpls help me answer these questions and showcase all your workarrow_forward
- Asaparrow_forwardCh 18 q3 In 1910 Rutherford performed a classic experiment in which he directed a beam of alpha particles at a thin gold foil. He unexpectedly observed a few of the particles scattered almost directly backward. This result was not consistent with then current models of atomic structure and led Rutherford to propose the existence of a very dense concentration of positive charge at the center of an atom—the atomic nucleus. The alpha particle has a charge of +2e and the gold nucleus a charge of +79e. Suppose that an alpha particle is initially a great distance from the gold, has a kinetic energy of 4.20 MeV (4.20 106 eV), and is headed directly at a gold nucleus. How close will the particle come to the center of the nucleus? Treat the nucleus and the alpha particle as point charges.arrow_forwardYour classmate in physics says that the electric field at the center of a dipole composed of equal magnitude charges is zero and thus so must the voltage be zero at that point. Is your classmate correct? Justify your answer.arrow_forward
