Why must the electric field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?

Physics

solong [7]3 years ago

-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface. 

-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.

A charge feels a 7.89 x 10-7 N force when it moves 2090 m/s at a 29.4° angle to a 4.23 x 10-3 T magnetic field. What is the amou
tamaranim1 [39]

We have that the amount of the charge q is

q=1.8*10^{-7}

From the Question we are told that

Force F=7.89 x*10^{-7}

Velocity V=2090m/s

Angle \theta=29.4

Magnetic field B=4.23 * 10^{-3} T

Generally, the equation for Force F is mathematically given by

F=qVBsin\theta\\\\q=\frac{F}{VBsin\theta}

q=\frac{7.89 x*10^{-7}}{4.23 * 10^{-3} T*sin29.4*2090m/s}

q=1.8*10^{-7}

In conclusion

The amount of the charge q is

q=1.8*10^{-7}

Two thin 80.0-cm rods are oriented at right angles to each other. Each rod has one end at the origin of the coordinates, and one
kogti [31]

Answer:

The net force on the electron is given as:

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Explanation:

Given:

charge on rod along x-axis = Q₁ = -15 x 10⁻⁶ C

charge on rod along y-axis = Q₂ = 15 x 10⁻⁶ C

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₁ = 0.4 m

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₂ = 0.4 m

charge on electron = q = -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

ε° = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

Electric force on charge due to rod 1:

F₁ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₁/r₁²)

F₁ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x -15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Negative negative repels each other so the rod will Force the electron in positive y-direction.

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j

Electric force on charge due to rod 2:

F₂ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₂/r₂²)

F₂ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₂ = - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Opposite charges attract each other so the rod will force the electron in negative x-direction.

F₂ =  - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Net Force:

F = F₁ + F₂

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i
