Answer:
Vb = k Q / r r <R
Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²) r >R
Explanation:
The electic potential is defined by
ΔV = - ∫ E .ds
We calculate the potential in the line of the electric pipe, therefore the scalar product reduces the algebraic product
VB - VA = - ∫ E dr
Let's substitute every equation they give us and we find out
r> R
Va = - ∫ (k Q / r²) dr
-Va = - k Q (- 1 / r)
We evaluate with it Va = 0 for r = infinity
Vb = k Q / r r <R
We perform the calculation of the power with the expression of the electric field that they give us
Vb = - int (kQ / R3 r) dr
We integrate and evaluate from the starting point r = R to the final point r <R
Vb = ∫kq / R³ r dr
Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)
This is the electric field in the whole space, the places of interest are r = 0, r = R and r = infinity
Hookes law state that provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension is directly proportional to the force
Omitting the 1 will not change the value of the number, but will change the units at the end of the problem
