Learning Goal: To understand the behavior ofthe electric field at the surface of a conductor, and itsrelationship to surface cha

rge on the conductor.
A conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. Theexternal field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it.The conductor is completely isolated from any source of current orcharge.

PART A)
Which of the following describes the electricfield inside this conductor?

It is in thesame direction as the original external field.
It is in theopposite direction from that of the original externalfield.
It has adirection determined entirely by the charge on itssurface.
It is alwayszero.
PART B)
The charge density inside theconductor is:

0
non-zero;but uniform
non-zero;non-uniform
infinite
PART C)
Assume that at some point just outside thesurface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitudeE and is directed toward thesurface of the conductor. What is the charge density eta on the surface of the conductor at thatpoint?
Express your answer in terms ofE and epsilon_0.
eta =

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a   it is always zero

b  0

c  \eta  =  -\epsilon _o E

Explanation:ss

Here the  net charge is  on the outer surface of the conductor thus this means that the net charge inside the conductor is zero

Generally the charge density of a conductor is dependent on the charge per unit area  which implies that the charge density is dependent on the net charge  so this  means that the charge density inside the conductor is zero

 

Generally the direction of electric field this from the  positive charge to the negative charge  so from the question we can deduce  that the negative charge is located on the surface of the conductor

    So We can mathematically define the charge density on the surface of the electric field as

             ∮E \cdot dA =  \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o}

Where E is the electric field

          dA change in unit area

           -Q is the negative charge

          \epsilon _o  is the permittivity of free space

So

          EA  =  \frac{-Q}{\epsilon _o }

           \frac{Q}{A}  =  -\epsilon _o E

          \eta  =  -\epsilon _o E

Where \eta is the charge density

Analyzing the Light Bulb: You should have noticed that the light bulb doesn't have a single well-defined "resistance," since the
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Resistance increases with increase in temperature which depends on power supplied which also depends on voltage.

Thermal expansion will make resistance larger.

Explanation:

Light bulb is a good example of a filament lamp. If we plot the graph of voltage against current we will notice that resistance is constant at constant temperature.

The filament heats up when an electric current passes through it, and produces light as a result.

The resistance of a lamp increases as the temperature of its filament increases. The current flowing through a filament lamp is not directly proportional to the voltage across it.

tensile stress begins to appear in resistor as the temperature rises. Thus, the resistance value increases as the temperature rises. Resistance value can only decrease as the temperature rises in case of thin film resistor with aluminium substrate.

In case of a filament bulb, the resistance will increase as increase in length of the wire. The thermal expansion in this regard is linear expansivity in which resistance is proportional to length of the wire.

Resistance therefore get larger.

A wave is moving at 18 m/s. If its wavelength is 3 meters, what is its frequency?
Vlada [557]

here's the solution,

we know that,

=》

wave \: speed = wavelength \times frequency

so,

=》

18 = 3 \times f

=》

f =  \dfrac{18}{3}

=》

f = 6

frequency = 6 hertz

What are the units of measure for distance?
olga2289 [7]
The most common unit is meters (m for short). It is the base unit for distance or displacement in the metric system. If you are dealing with larger distances, you might use kilometers (I'm for short) which is just 1000 meters. On the other hand, centimeter (cm) are used for small distances and are 1/100 of a meter. Another common unit is millimeters (mm) which is 1/1000 of a meter.
