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.

A double-slit arrangement produces interference fringes for sodium light (λ = 589 nm) that are 0.48° apart. What is the angular
larisa [96]

Answer:

0.38°

Explanation:

\theta = Angle

m = Number

d = Distance

n = Refractive index of liquid = 1.25

a denotes air

l denotes liquid

In the case of double split interferance we have the relation

m\lambda=dsin\theta

For air

m\lambda_a=dsin\theta_a

For liquid

m\lambda_l=dsin\theta_l

Dividing the two equations

\frac{m\lambda_a}{m\lambda_l}=\frac{dsin\theta_a}{dsin\theta_l}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\lambda_a}{\lambda_l}=\frac{sin\theta_a}{sin\theta_l}

Wavelength ratio = n

n=\frac{sin\theta_a}{sin\theta_l}\\\Rightarrow \frac{sin0.48}{1.25}=sin\theta_l\\\Rightarrow \theta_l=sin^{-1}\frac{sin0.48}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow \theta_l=0.38^{\circ}

The angular separation is 0.38°

A steady current I flows through a wire of radius a. The current density in the wire varies with r as J = kr, where k is a const
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

we can consider an element of radius r < a and thickness dr.  and Area of this element is

dA=2\pi r dr

since current density is given

J=kr

then , current through this element will be,

di_{thru}=JdA=(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)=2\pi\,kr^2\,dr

integrating on both sides between the appropriate limits,

\int_0^Idi_{thru}=\int_0^a2\pi\,kr^2\,dr&#10;\\\\&#10;I=\frac{2\pi\,ka^3}{3} -------------------------------(1)

Magnetic field can be found by using Ampere's law

\oint{\vec{B}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}

for points inside the wire ( r<a)

now, consider a point at a distance 'r' from the center of wire. The appropriate Amperian loop is a circle of radius r.

by applying the Ampere's law, we can write

\oint{\vec{B}_{in}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}&#10;

by symmetry \vec{B} will be of uniform magnitude on this loop and it's direction will be tangential to the loop.

Hence,

B_{in}\times2\pi\,l=\mu_0\int_0^r(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)=&#10;\\\\2\pi\,B_{in} l=2\pi\mu_0k \frac{r^3}{3}&#10;\\\\B_{in}=\frac{\mu_0kl^2}{3}&#10;

now using equation 1, putting the value of k,

B_{in} = \frac{\mu_{0} l^2 }{3 } \,\,\, \frac{3I}{2 \pi a^3}&#10;\\\\B_{in} = \frac{ \mu_{0} I l^2}{2 \pi a^3}&#10;

B)

now, for points outside the wire ( r>a)

consider a point at a distance 'r' from the center of wire. The appropriate Amperian loop is a circle of radius l.

applying the Ampere's law

\oint{\vec{B}_{out}\cdot\,d\vec{l}}=\mu_0\,i_{enc}&#10;

by symmetry \vec{B} will be of uniform magnitude on this loop and it's direction will be tangential to the loop. Hence

B_{out}\times2\pi\,r=\mu_0\int_0^a(kr)(2\pi\,r\,dr)&#10;\\\\2\pi\,B_{out}r=2\pi\mu_0k\frac{a^3}{3}&#10;\\\\B_{out}=\frac{\mu_0ka^3}{3r}&#10;

again using,equaiton 1,

B_{out}= \mu_0 \frac{a^3}{3r} \times \frac{3 I}{2 \pi a^3}&#10;\\\\B_{out} = \frac{ \mu_{0} I}{2 \pi r}
