A solid conducting sphere with radius R carries a positive total charge Q. The sphere is surrounded by an insulating shell with

inner radius R and outer radius 2R. The insulating shell has a uniform charge density rho.
Part A

Find the value of rho so that the net charge of the entire system is zero.

Express your answer in terms of the variables Q, R, and appropriate constants.Part B

If rho has the value found in part A, find the magnitude of the electric field in the region 0
Express your answer in terms of the variables Q, R, r, and appropriate constants.Part C

If rho has the value found in part A, find the magnitude of the electric field in the region R
Express your answer in terms of the variables Q, R, r, and appropriate constants.Part D

If rho has the value found in part A, find the direction of the electric field in the region R
If rho has the value found in part A, find the magnitude of the electric field in the region r>2R.

Express your answer in terms of the variables Q, R, r, and appropriate constants.Part F

As a general rule, the electric field is discontinuous only at locations where there is a thin sheet of charge. Explain how your results in previous parts agree with this rule.

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of the insulating shell is,

V_{shell}=\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)

Charge density of the shell is,

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi(R^3_2-R^3_1)}

Here, R_2 =2R, R_1 =R \,and\, Q_{shell} =-Q

\rho=\frac{Q_{shell}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi((2R)^3-R^3)}=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

B)

The electric field is E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}

For 0 <r<R the electric field is zero, because the electric field inside the conductor is zero.

C)

For R <r <2R According to gauss law

E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}+\frac{4\pi\rho}{3\epsilon_0}(r^3-R^3)

substitute \rho=\frac{-3Q}{28\piR^3}

E=\frac{2}{7\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}-\frac{Qr}{28\piR^3}

D)

The net charge enclosed for each r in this range is positive and the electric field is outward

E)

For r>2R

Charge enclosed is zero, so electric field is zero

The magnetic field in a solenoid is . A circular wire of radius 8 cm is concentric with a solenoid of radius 2 cm and length d =
defon

Answer:

6.03 mV

Explanation:

length of solenoid, L = 2 m, N = 12000, di/dt = 40 A/s,

Magnetic field due to solenoid

B = μ0 n i = μ0 N i / L

dB/dt = μ0 N / L x di / dt

dB /dt = (4 x 3.14 x 10^-7 x 12000 x 40) / 2 = 0.3 T/s

Induced emf, e = rate of change of magnetic flux

e = dΦ / dt = A x dB / dt

e = 3.14 x 0.08 x 0.08 x 0.3 = 6.03 x 10^-3 V = 6.03 mV
