A solid block of copper, which is a good conductor, has a cavity in its interior. Within the cavity, insulated from the conducto

r, is a point charge of 3.00 nCnC. The block of copper itself has an excess charge of -8.00 nCnC. How much charge is on the outer surface of the block and the surface of the cavity

Answer:

The charge on the outer surface of the block = -5.00 nC

The charge on the surface of the cavity (on the inner surface of the block) = -3.00 nC

Explanation:

The point charge within the cavity will induce a charge equal in magnitude and opposite in sign on the inside cavities of the copper block.

Charge of the point charge = 3.00 nC

Charge induced on the inner surface of the Copper block's cavity = -3.00 nC

Since the charge on a conductor should usually be neutral, the charge on the inner surface causes a charge equal in magnitude and also opposite in sign on the outer surface of the block; that is, 3.00 nC.

But this block already has an excess charge of -8.00 nC (which resides on the surface because excess charge for conductors reside on the surface of the conductors)

So, net charge on the outer surface of the Copper block = -8.00 + 3.00 = -5.00 nC.

Hope this Helps!!!

What is the entropy of isolated system?
melamori03 [73]

Answer: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system

Explanation:

Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity defined as a criterion to predict the evolution or transformation of thermodynamic systems. In addition, it is used to measure the degree of organization of a system.

In other words: Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system and is a function of state. That is, it depends only on the state of the system.  

However, in the case of an isolated system in an <u>irreversible process</u>, the value of entropy increases in the course of a process that occurs naturally. While in a <u>reversible process</u> the entropy of the isolated system remains constant.
