(a) If an isolated conducting sphere 10 cm in radius has a net charge of 4.0 mC and if V=0 at infinity, what is the potential on the surface of the sphere? (b) Can this situation actually occur, given that the air around the sphere undergoes electrical breakdown when the field exceeds 3.0 MV/m?
(a) How much charge can be placed on a capacitor with air between the plates before it breaks down if the area of each of the plates is 5.00 cm2? (b) What If? Find the maximum charge if polystyrene is used between the plates instead of air.
P:57) A point charge of q = 10 µC is in a dielectric medium with relative dielectric constant ɛr = 4.5.The energy stored in the region outside the sphere whose center is the point where the charge is; R = 10 m,Find for sphere radii of R = 1 m, R = 10 cm, and R = 1 cm.
