Answer:

d. 1.8E+7 N/C

Explanation:

In order to find the electric field outside the hollow metallic sphere, we can apply Gauss' Law, using a spherical gaussian surface with radius equal to 10 cm from the center of the sphere.

As the electric field must be normal to the surface at any point (no tangential fields can exist in electrostatic conditions) it must be radially pointed. By symmetry, at a same radius, the magnitude of the field must be the same.

As the dA vector is always normal to the surface and aiming outward, the dot product E*dA, can be taken out of the integral, as follows:

E*A = \frac{Qenc}{\epsilon0}

where Qenc, is the total charge enclosed by the gaussian surface. Just due to the conservation of charge, this charge must be equal to +20 μC.

Now, how can this charge be distributed on the outer surface of the shell?

If we apply Gauss´Law to a gaussian surface with a radius just inside the sphere (between the inner and outer surface), we will find that the flux is 0, due to the electric field is 0 inside a conductor.

We could write the same equation as above:

E*A = \frac{Qenc}{\epsilon0} = 0

If the left side of the equation is 0, the right one must be zero too:

⇒ Qenc = 0  ⇒ Qc + Qin = 0 ⇒ Qin = -20 μC.

As the metallic sphere must remain neutral, an equal and opposite charge must build up on the outer surface:

⇒ Qou = +20 μC

The other parameters in the equation are:

r = 0.1 m

ε₀ = 8.85*10⁻¹² C²/N*m²

Replacing by the values, we can solve for E as follows:

E = \frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon0} *\frac{Qenc}{r^{2}} = \frac{1}{4*\pi*8.85e-12} *\frac{+20e-6C}{(0.1m)^{2}} = 1.8e7 N/C

⇒ E = 1.8*10⁷ N/C

So, the statement d. is true.

An automobile battery has an emf of 12.6 V and an internal resistance of 0.0600 . The headlights together present equivalent res
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

(a) V=11.86\ V

(b) V=9.76\ V

Explanation:

<u>Electric Circuits</u>

Suppose we have a resistive-only electric circuit. The relation between the current I and the voltage V in a resistance R is given by the Ohm's law:

V=R.I

(a) The electromagnetic force of the battery is \varepsilon =12.6\ V and its internal resistance is R_i=0.06\ \Omega. Knowing the equivalent resistance of the headlights is R_e=5.2\ \Omega, we can compute the current of the circuit by using the Kirchhoffs Voltage Law or KVL:

\varepsilon=i.R_i+i.R_e=i.(R_i+R_e)

Solving for i

\displaystyle i=\frac{\varepsilon}{ R_i+R_e}=\frac{12}{0.06+5.2}=2.28\ A

i=2.28\ A

The potential difference across the headlight  bulbs is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-2.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=11.86\ V

V=11.86\ V

(b) If the starter motor is operated, taking an additional 35 Amp from the battery, then the total load current is 2.28 A + 35 A = 37.28 A. Thus the output voltage of the battery, that is the voltage that the bulbs have is

V=\varepsilon  -i.R_i=12\ V-37.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=9.76\ V
