Answer:
Part a)
E = 0
Part b)
Part c)
Electric field inside the conductor is again zero
Part d)
Explanation:
Part a)
conducting sphere is of radius
R = 2 cm
so electric field inside any conductor is always zero
So electric field at r = 1 cm
E = 0
Part b)
Now at r = 3 cm
By Gauss law
Part c)
Again when we use r = 4.50 cm
then we will have
Electric field inside the conductor is again zero
Part d)
Now at r = 7 cm
again by Gauss law
This really calls for a blackboard and a hunk of chalk, but
I'm going to try and do without.
If you want to understand what's going on, then PLEASE
keep drawing visible as you go through this answer, either
on the paper or else on a separate screen.
The energy dissipated by the circuit is the energy delivered by
the battery. We'd know what that is if we knew I₁ . Everything that
flows in this circuit has to go through R₁ , so let's find I₁ first.
-- R₃ and R₄ in series make 6Ω.
-- That 6Ω in parallel with R₂ makes 3Ω.
-- That 3Ω in series with R₁ makes 10Ω across the battery.
-- I₁ is 10volts/10Ω = 1 Ampere.
-- R1: 1 ampere through 7Ω ... V₁ = I₁ · R₁ = 7 volts .
-- The battery is 10 volts.
7 of the 10 appear across R₁ .
So the other 3 volts appear across all the business at the bottom.
-- R₂: 3 volts across it = V₂.
Current through it is I₂ = V₂/R₂ = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Amp.
-- R3 + R4: 6Ω in the series combination
3 volts across it
Current through it is I = V₂/R = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Ampere
-- Remember that the current is the same at every point in
a series circuit. I₃ and I₄ must be the same 1/2 Ampere,
because there's no place in the branch where electrons can
be temporarily stored, no place for them to leak out, and no
supply of additional electrons.
-- R₃: 1/2 Ampere through it = I₃ .
1/2 Ampere through 2Ω ... V₃ = I₃ · R₃ = 1 volt
-- R₄: 1/2 Ampere through it = I₄
1/2 Ampere through 4Ω ... V₄ = I₄ · R₄ = 2 volts
Notice that I₂ is 1/2 Amp, and (I₃ , I₄) is also 1/2 Amp.
So the sum of currents through the two horizontal branches is 1 Amp,
which exactly matches I₁ coming down the side, just as it should.
That means that at the left side, at the point where R₁, R₂, and R₃ all
meet, the amount of current flowing into that point is the same as the
amount flowing out ... electrons are not piling up there.
Concerning energy, we could go through and calculate the energy
dissipated by each resistor and then addum up. But why bother ?
The energy dissipated by the resistors has to come from the battery,
so we only need to calculate how much the battery is supplying, and
we'll have it.
The power supplied by the battery = (voltage) · (current)
= (10 volts) · (1 Amp) = 10 watts .
"Watt" means "joule per second".
The resistors are dissipating 10 joules per second,
and the joules are coming from the battery.
(30 minutes) · (60 sec/minute) = 1,800 seconds
(10 joules/second) · (1,800 seconds) = 18,000 joules in 30 min
The power (joules per second) dissipated by each individual resistor is
P = V² / R
or
P = I² · R ,
whichever one you prefer. They're both true.
If you go through the 4 resistors, calculate each one, and addum up, you'll
come out with the same 10 watts / 18,000 joules total.
They're not asking for that. But if you did it and you actually got the same
numbers as the battery is supplying, that would be a really nice confirmation
that all of your voltages and currents are correct.
True, if you move something forward at 100 miles an hour but your on something moving backwards 100 miles an hour you up staying in the same location, aka zero velocity.
In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,
KE1 = KE2
The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.
KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²
This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.
KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)
The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.
Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.
