Chapter 22, Problem 22.16DQ

A negative charge −Q is placed inside the cavity of a hollow metal solid. The outside of the solid is grounded by connecting a conducting wire between it and the earth. Is any excess charge induced on the inner surface of the metal? Is there any excess charge on the outside surface of the metal? Why or why not? Would someone outside the solid measure an electric field due to the charge −Q? Is it reasonable to say that the grounded conductor has shielded the region outside the conductor from the effects of the charge −Q? In principle, could the same thing be done for gravity? Why or why not?

The surfaces of a lipid bi-layer forming the membrane around a cell with a radius of 1.2 µm has a residual charge qr = 9x10-15 C on outside of the bi-layer, and the same amount of negative charge on the inside. What is the force in pN (×10-12 N) on a singly-charged positive ion (q =1.6 x10-19 C) located on the outer surface of this membrane? Hint: Use F = q E = q (o/e) with o = qr/A = qr/ (4Tt r²) and ɛ, = 8.85 x 10-12 F-m-1. Answer: 8.99180 F
Two parallel conducting plates, each of cross-sectional area 400.0 cm? are 2.0 cm apart and uncharged. If 1.0x102 electrons are transferred from one plate to the other, what are a) the charge density on each plate? b) the electric flux through a circle of radius 3 cm between the plates when the normal to the circle makes an angle of 5.0° with a line perpendicular to the plates.
Consider an insulating sphere of radius 10 centimeters. A charge of 5 millicoulombs is distributed uniformly across the entire volume of the insulating sphere. Determine the location of a point P outside the insulating sphere that has an electric field intensity of magnitude numerically equal to that at a point 6 cm from the center of the insulating sphere. Give the distance of this point P from the center of the insulating sphere.
