To Find: Amount of charge that can be stored by pea before spontaneous discharge
Answer to Problem 65GP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Break down electric field strength for
Diameter of given pea is 0.75 cm.
Formula used:
Electric field on the surface of pea is given by
Calculation:
The pea will discharge when the electric field at the surface exceeds the breakdown field.
Because the charge on the pea as appoint charge at the center,
This gives
