Consider a uniformly charged sphere of radius Rand total charge Q. The electric field Eout outsidethe sphere (r≥R) is simply tha

t of a point charge Q. The electric field Ein inside the sphere (r≤R) is radially outward with field strength
Ein=1/4πϵ0(Q/R^3)r

The electric potential Vout outside the sphere is that of a point charge Q. Find an expression for the electric potential Vin at position r inside the sphere. As a reference, let Vin=Vout at the surface of the sphere.

1) Electric potential inside the sphere: \frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})

2) Ratio Vcenter/Vsurface: 3/2

3) Find graph in attachment

Explanation:

1)

The electric field inside the sphere is given by

E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}

where

\epsilon_0=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m is the vacuum permittivity

Q is the charge on the sphere

R is the radius of the sphere

r is the distance from the centre at which we compute the field

For a radial field,

E(r)=-\frac{dV(r)}{dr}

Therefore, we can find the potential at distance r by integrating the expression for the electric field. Calculating the difference between the potential at r and the potential at R,

V(R)-V(r)=-\int\limits^R_r  E(r)dr=-\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}\int r dr = \frac{-Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}(R^2-r^2)

The potential at the surface, V(R), is that of a point charge, so

V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}

Therefore we can find the potential inside the sphere, V(r):

V(r)=V(R)+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}+\frac{-Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}(R^2-r^2)=\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})

2)

At the center,

r = 0

Therefore the potential at the center of the sphere is:

V(r)=\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})\\V(0)=\frac{3Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}

On the other hand, the potential at the surface is

V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}

Therefore, the ratio V(center)/V(surface) is:

\frac{V(0)}{V(R)}=\frac{\frac{3Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}}{\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}}=\frac{3}{2}

3)

The graph of V versus r can be found in attachment.

We observe the following:

- At r = 0, the value of the potential is \frac{3}{2}V(R), as found in part b) (where V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R})

- Between r and R, the potential decreases as -\frac{r^2}{R^2}

- Then at r = R, the potential is V(R)

- Between r = R and r = 3R, the potential decreases as \frac{1}{R}, therefore when the distance is tripled (r=3R), the potential as decreased to 1/3 (\frac{1}{3}V(R))

How much energy is required to accelerate a golf ball of mass 0.046 kg initially at rest to a speed of 0.75c?
Andrew [12]

The required energy to accelerate the golf ball is  0.232875X10^{16} kg-m/sec^2.

<h2>What is Energy?</h2>
  • Energy, which is observable in the execution of labor as well as in the form of light and heat, is the quantitative quality that is transmitted to an object or to a physical phenomenon in physics.
  • Energy is a preserved resource; according to the rule of conservation of energy, energy can only be transformed from one form to another and cannot be created or destroyed.
  • The joule, which is defined as "the energy transmitted to an object by the effort of moving it a length of one metre against a force of one newton," is the standard measure for power in the International System of Units (SI).

Given that,

E=mc^2

=0.046X0.75^2Xc^2

=0.232875X10^{16} kg-m/sec^2 .

An electron enters the gap between the plates of a capacitor at the center of the gap traveling parallel to theplates at 2.0 x 1
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate is 248.125mm

Explanation:

Applying Gauss' law:

Electric Field E = Charge density/epsilon nought

Where charge density=1.0 x 10^-6C/m2 & epsilon nought= 8.85× 10^-12

Therefore E = 1.0 x 10^-6/8.85× 10^-12

E= 1.13×10^5N/C

Force on electron F=qE

Where q=charge of electron=1.6×10^-19C

Therefore F=1.6×10^-19×1.13×10^5

F=1.808×10^-14N

Acceleration on electron a = Force/Mass

Where Mass of electron = 9.10938356 × 10^-31

Therefore a= 1.808×10^-14 /9.11 × 10-31

a= 1.985×10^16m/s^2

Time spent between plate = Distance/Speed

From the question: Distance=1cm=0.01m and speed = 2×10^6m/s^2

Therefore Time = 0.01/2×10^6

Time =5×10^-9s

How far the electron would travel S =ut+ at^2/2 where u=0

S= 1.985×10^16×(5×10^-9)^2/2

S=24.8125×10^-2m

S=248.125mm
