A conducting spherical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b has a positive point charge +Q at the center in the empty re

gion. The excess charge on the conducting shell is -3Q. (a) What are the charges on the inner and outer surface of the shell? [2] (b)Derive the expression for E field as a function of distance r and Q for r b. [1.5] (c) Sketch E as a function of r from the center outward. [1] (d) How would the answers to part (a) and (b) (part (b) only for ab) change if the charge Q was not at the center inside the shell but away from it but still in the empty region? [1.5]

Answer:

a) q_inner = -Q

, q_outer = -2Q

b)    E₁ = k Q / r²        r<a

       E₂ = 0               a<r<b

       E₃ = - k 2Q/r²     r>b

d)   the charge continues inside the spherical shell, the results do not change

Explanation:

a) The point load in the center induces a load on the inner surface of the shell with constant opposite sign  

q_inner = -Q  

the outer shell of the shell the load is  

q_outer = -3 Q + Q  

q_outer = -2Q

b) To find the electric field again, use Gauss's law,  

We define as a Gaussian surface a sphere  

Ф = E. dA = q_{int}/ε₀

in this case the electric field lines and the radii of the sphere are parallel, so the sclar product is reduced to the algegraic product  

E A = q_{int}/ε₀

the area of ​​a sphere is  

A = 4 π r²  

E = 1 / 4πε₀  Q/ r²  

k = 1 / 4πε₀  

let's apply this expression to the different radii

i) r <a  

in this case the load inside is the point load  

q_{int}= + Q  

E₁ = k Q / r²

ii) the field inside the shell  

a <r <b  

As the sphere is conductive, so that it is in electrostatic equilibrium, there can be no field within it.  

E₂ = 0

iii)  r>b

   q_{int}  = Q- 3Q = -2Q

    E₃ = k (-2Q/r²)

     E₃ = - k 2Q/r²

c) see  attached

d) as the charge continues inside the spherical shell, the results do not change, since the lcharge inside remains the same and it does not matter its precise location, but remains within the Gaussian surface

4 Suggest four ways in which participating in physical activities can build healthy relationship? 5.Show in two ways the influeb
valina [46]

Answer:

  • Increases levels of well-being neurotransmitters
  • Improves fitness
  • Improves mental health
  • Reduces the risk of developing diseases

Explanation:

Performing physical activities helps to build a healthy relationship with yourself, in the sense that physical activity promotes health at all levels. Health is a set of physical, mental and social well-being, so physical activity reaches all these levels and increases the quality of life for a person as a whole.

There are several types of physical activities that can be performed and you can choose the one that best fits your preferences and routine. A walk for example can be done in any safe place and at any time and it already helps in improving physical conditioning, in receiving serotonin and endorphins, in reducing blood pressure and protecting the heart and in improving mental health.

So the ideal is for each person to set their own goals in relation to their health and seek to achieve them, either to have a better quality of life, to socialize more with people, to prevent diseases, etc.
