The electric potential V in the space between two flat parallel plates 1 and 2 is given (in volts) by V = 2200x2, where x (in me

ters) is the perpendicular distance from plate 1. At x = 1.7 cm, (a) what is the magnitude of the electric field and (b) is the field directed toward or away from plate 1?

Answer:

a) 74.8 V/m

b) direction -(i)

Explanation:

For this case, the electric field is defined as:

$E=(\frac{dV}{dx})$

because V is a function dependent of x so we can derivate it:

$\frac{dV}{dx}=\frac{d(2200x^2)}{dx}=2*2200*x$

so:

$E=-4400x\\E=-4400V/m^2*0.017m=-74.8V/m$

Because of the sign, the magnitude of electric field 74.8 V/m on the negative direction of i vector, thus means towards the plate 1.

A thin spherical spherical shell of radius R which carried a uniform surface charge density σ. Write an expression for the volum

ozzi

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

We know that the thin spherical shell is on a uniform surface which implies that both the inside and outside the charge of the sphere are equal, Then

The volume charge distribution relates to the radial direction at r = R

∴

$\rho (r) \ \alpha \ \delta (r -R)$

$\rho (r) = k \ \delta (r -R) \ \ at \ \ (r = R)$

$\rho (r) = 0\ \ since \ r< R \ \ or \ \ r>R---- (1)$

To find the constant k, we examine the total charge Q which is:

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \int \sigma \times dA$

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV = \sigma \times4 \pi R^2$

∴

$\int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^{R}_{0} \rho (r) r^2sin \theta \ dr \ d\theta \ d\phi = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

$\int^{2 \pi}_{0} d \phi* \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta d \theta * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

$(2 \pi)(2) * \int ^{R}_{0} k \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times 4 \pi R^2$

Thus;

$k * 4 \pi \int ^{R}_{0} \delta (r -R) * r^2dr = \sigma \times R^2$

$k * \int ^{R}_{0} \delta (r -R) r^2dr = \sigma \times R^2$

$k * R^2= \sigma \times R^2$

$k = R^2 --- (2)$

Hence, from equation (1), if k = $\sigma$

$\mathbf{\rho (r) = \delta* \delta (r -R) \ \ at \ \ (r=R)}$

$\mathbf{\rho (r) =0 \ \ at \ \ rR}$

To verify the units:

$\mathbf{\rho (r) =\sigma \ * \ \delta (r-R)}$

↓ ↓ ↓

c/m³ c/m³ × 1/m

Thus, the units are verified.

The integrated charge Q

$Q = \int \rho (r) \ dV \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \ \pi}_{0} \int ^{\pi}_{0} \int ^R_0 \rho (r) \ \ r^2 \ \ sin \theta \ dr \ d\theta \ d \phi \\ \\ Q = \int ^{2 \pi}_{0} \ d \phi \int ^{\pi}_{0} \ sin \theta \int ^R_{0} \rho (r) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = (2 \pi) (2) \int ^R_0 \sigma * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = 4 \pi \sigma \int ^R_0 * \delta (r-R) r^2 \ dr$

$Q = 4 \pi \sigma *R^2$ since $( \int ^{xo}_{0} (x -x_o) f(x) \ dx = f(x_o) )$

$\mathbf{Q = 4 \pi R^2 \sigma }$
