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

A charged object is suspended motionless in the air by the gravitational force pulling it down and an electric force pushing it
Savatey [412]

The charge of the object must be 1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Suppose an electric charge can be represented by the symbol Q. This electric charge generates an electric field; Because Q is the source of the electric field, we call this as source charge. The electric field strength of the source charge can be measured with any other charge anywhere in the area. The test charges used to test the field strength.

Its quantity indicated by the symbol q. In the electric field, q exerts an electric, either attractive or repulsive force. As usual, this force is indicated by the symbol F. The electric field’s magnitude is simply defined as the force per charge (q) on Q.

         Electric field, E=\frac{\text { Force }(F)}{q}

Here, given E = 4500 N/C and F = 0.05 N.

We need to find charge of the object (q)

By substituting the given values, we get

      q=\frac{F}{E}=\frac{0.05 N}{4500 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{c}}=1.11 \times e^{-5} \text { coulomb }

A bar magnet is dropped toward a conducting ring lying on the floor. As the magnet falls toward the ring, does it move as a free
REY [17]

Explanation:

According to the Faraday-Lenz law, a conductive ring generates an induced current due to the change in the magnetic flux caused by the motion of the bar magnet. This induced current generates a magnetic field opposite to the magnetic field of the bar, generating an upward force that opposes the weight of the bar magnet, Therefore, it does not move as a freely  falling object.

The following is an example of a physical or a chemical change?? Alex made a beautiful origami swan out of a blue sheet of paper
REY [17]
Pretty sure physical, a chemical change would be something of the time of acid rain, meanwhile physical changes are the ones that affect the form not the actual chemical composition

A circuit contains a single 270-pf capacitor hooked across a battery. it is desired to store four times as much energy in a comb
yan [13]
The energy stored by a system of capacitors is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}C_{eq} V^2
where Ceq is the equivalent capacitance of the system, and V is the voltage applied.

In the formula, we can see there is a direct proportionality between U and C. This means that if we want to increase the energy stored by 4 times, we have to increase C by 4 times, if we keep the same voltage.

Calling C_1 = 270 pF the capacitance of the original capacitor, we can solve the problem by asking that, adding a new capacitor with C_x, the new equivalent capacitance of the system C_{eq} must be equal to 4C_1. If we add the new capacitance X in parallel, the equivalent capacitance of the new system is the sum of the two capacitance
C_{eq} = C_1 + C_x
and since Ceq must be equal to 4 C1, we can write
C_1+C_x = 4C_1
from which we find
C_x=3C_1=3 \cdot 270 pF=810 pF

You are given five transparent objects: a calcite crystal, a diamond, a piece of window glass, a sample of quartz, and a piece o
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The calcite Crystal can be identified by carrying out an acid test on it. This is done by bringing it in contact with a weak acid which cause crack in it structure. Hence a little of carbondioxide gas is released.

Since diamond is the hardest object,it can be identified on a Mohs scale. Likewise it can be tested by bringing it in contact with a newspaper, if the letters on the paper are not seen, that shows it is a pure diamond.

Window glass is identified by the code on it.

While Quartz Crystal is identified by scratch test. When it is used to scratch all other softer stones and metal, it leaves mark on them.
