Complete Question

A solid ball of radius rb has a uniform charge density ρ.

a.  What is the magnitude of the electric field E(r) at a distance r>rb from the center of the ball?  Express your answer in terms of ρ, rb, r, and ϵ0.

b.   What is the magnitude of the electric field E(r) at a distance r<rb from the center of the ball?  Express your answer in terms of ρ, r, rb, and ϵ0.

c.   Let E(r) represent the electric field due to the charged ball throughout all of space. Which of the following statements about the electric field are true?

1. E(0) = 0.

2. E(rb) = 0

3. lim E(r) = 0.

4. The maximum electric field occurs when r = 0.

5. The maximum electric field occurs when r = rb.

6. The maximum electric field occurs as r to infinity.

Answer:

a) the magnitude of E(r)= ρr³/3 ε₀r²

b) the magnitude at distance r from the centre E(r)= ρr/3 ε ₀ ( if r<rb)

c) statements 1(E(0) = 0), 3(E(0) = 0) and 5(The maximum electric field occurs when r = rb.) are true

Explanation:

given

charge density = ρ ,  ε

Volume of sphere , V = (⁴/₃)πr³

a) charge density = charge/volume

ρ = q ÷ V

make charge the subject of the formula

∴q = ρ × V=  ρ× (⁴/₃)πr³

where r³ = rb³(at distance rb³)

recall

E= q/4πε₀r²

E=  ρ × (⁴/₃)πrb³/4πε₀r²

∴E(r)= ρrb³/3 ε ₀r²

(b)  The Gaussian surface is inside the ball, therefore, surface only encloses a portion of ball's charge .

The net charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface is different to the of net charge enclosed in (a)

Recall

E= q/4πε₀r²

V= (⁴/₃)πr³

E=  ρ × (⁴/₃)πr³/4πε₀r²

∴E(r)= ρr/3 ε₀

(c)  E(0)= 0

limr-----∝

E(r)= 0

The maximum electric field occurs when r=rb.

Problem:
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Total energy is constant

Explanation:

The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).

This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.

This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.

In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.

However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.

Why skies are blue but not other colours​
wolverine [178]

Answer:

The Short Answer: Sunlight reaches Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all directions by all the gases and particles in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

What is the kinetic energy of a 9.0 kg steelhead if its speed is 16 m/s?
Vesnalui [34]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of the Steelhead(m) = 9 kg

Velocity of the Steelhead(v) = 16 m/s

<u>Calculating the Kinetic Energy:</u>

KE = 1/2mv²

replacing the variables

KE = 1/2 * 9 * (16)²

KE = 1152 Joules
