a)

i) Potential for r < a: V(r)=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} ln(\frac{b}{a})

ii) Potential for a < r < b:  V(r)=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0}  ln\frac{b}{r}

iii) Potential for r > b: V(r)=0

b) Potential difference between the two cylinders: V_{ab}=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} ln(\frac{b}{a})

c) Electric field between the two cylinders: E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{1}{r}

Explanation:

a)

Here we want to calculate the potential for r < a.

Before calculating the potential, we have to keep in mind that the electric field outside an infinite wire or an infinite cylinder uniformly charged is

E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}

where

\lambda is the linear charge density

r is the distance from the wire/surface of the cylinder

By integration, we find an expression for the electric potential at a distance of r:

V(r) =\int Edr = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} ln(r)

Inside the cylinder, however, the electric field is zero, because the charge contained by the Gaussian surface is zero:

E=0

So the potential where the electric field is zero is constant:

V=const.

iii) We start by evaluating the potential in the region r > b. Here, the net electric field is zero, because the Gaussian surface of radius r here contains a positive charge density +\lambda and an equal negative charge density -\lambda. Therefore, the net charge is zero, so the electric field is zero.

This means that the electric potential is constant, so we can write:

\Delta V= V(r) - V(b) = 0\\\rightarrow V(r)=V(b)

However, we know that the potential at b is zero, so

V(r)=V(b)=0

ii) The electric field in the region a < r < b instead it is given only by the positive charge +\lambda distributed over the surface of the inner cylinder of radius a, therefore it is

E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi r \epsilon_0}

And so the potential in this region is given by:

V(r)=\int\limits^b_r {Edr} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0}  (ln(b)-ln(r))=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0}  ln\frac{b}{r} (1)

i) Finally, the electric field in the region r < a is zero, because the charge contained in this region is zero (we are inside the surface of the inner cylinder of radius a):

E = 0

This means that the potential in this region remains constant, and it is equal to the potential at the surface of the inner cylinder, so calculated at r = a, which can be calculated by substituting r = a into expression (1):

V(a)=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} ln(\frac{b}{a})

And so, for r<a,

V(r)=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} ln(\frac{b}{a})

b)

Here we want to calculate the potential difference between the surface of the inner cylinder and the surface of the outer cylinder.

We have:

- Potential at the surface of the inner cylinder:

V(a)=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} ln(\frac{b}{a})

- Potential at the surface of the outer cylinder:

V(b)=0

Therefore, the potential difference is simply equal to

V_{ab}=V(a)-V(b)=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} ln(\frac{b}{a})

c)

Here we want to find the magnitude of the electric field between the two cylinders.

The expression for the electric potential between the cylinders is

V(r)=\int\limits^b_r {Edr} = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0}  (ln(b)-ln(r))=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0}  ln\frac{b}{r}

The electric field is just the derivative of the electric potential:

E=-\frac{dV}{dr}

so we can find it by integrating the expression for the electric potential. We find:

E=-\frac{d}{dr}(\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} (ln(b)-ln(r))=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{1}{r}

So, this is the expression of the electric field between the two cylinders.

While falling, both the sheet of paper and the paper ball experience air resistance. But the surface area of the sheet is much more than that of the spherical ball. And air resistance varies directly with surface area. Hence the sheet experiences more air resistance than the ball and it falls more slowly than the paper ball.

Hope that helps!

The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is - 2.10 ×10−6C/m2. A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.
inn [45]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate electric field because of the plate is as follows.

         E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

            = \frac{2.10 \times 10^{-6}}{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}

           = 1.18 \times 10^{5} N/C

Now, we will consider that equilibrium of forces are present there. So,

                   ma = qE

       a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.18 \times 10^{5}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

          = 1.13 \times 10^{13} m/s^2

According to the third equation of motion,

         v^{2} = 2 \times a \times d

or,      d = \frac{v^{2}}{2d}

             = \frac{(2.4 \times 10^{6})^{2}}{2 \times 1.13 \times 10^{13}}

             = 0.254 m

Thus, we can conclude that the proton will travel 0.254 m before reaching its turning point.

Two scales on a nondigital voltmeter measure voltages up to 20.0 and 30.0 V, respectively. The resistance connected in series wi
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Resistance of the circuit is 820 Ω

Explanation:

Given:

Two galvanometer resistance are given along with its voltages.

Let the resistance is "R" and the values of voltages be 'V' and 'V1' along with 'G' and 'G1'.

⇒ V=20\ \Omega,\ V_1=30\ \Omega

⇒ G=1680\ \Omega,\  G_1=2930\ \Omega

Concept to be used:

Conversion of galvanometer into voltmeter.

Let G be the resistance of the galvanometer and I_g the maximum deflection in the galvanometer.

To measure maximum voltage resistance R is connected in series .

So,

⇒ V=I_g(R+G)

We have to find the value of R we know that in series circuit current are same.

For G=1680                                    For G_1=2930

⇒ I_g=\frac{V}{R+G}   equation (i)                ⇒ I_g=\frac{V_1}{R+G_1} equation (ii)

Equating both the above equations:

⇒ \frac{V}{R+G} = \frac{V_1}{R+G_1}

⇒ V(R+ G_1) = V_1 (R+G)

⇒ VR+VG_1 = V_1R+V_1G

⇒ VR-V_1R = V_1G-VG_1

⇒ R(V-V_1) = V_1G-VG_1

⇒ R =\frac{V_1G-VG_1}{(V-V_1)}

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ R =\frac{(30\times 1680) - (20\times 2930)}{(20-30)}

⇒ R =\frac{(50400 - 58600)}{(-10)}

⇒ R=\frac{-8200}{-10}

⇒ R=820\ \Omega

The coil resistance of the circuit is 820 Ω .
