A charge of −20 µC is distributed uniformly over the surface of a spherical conductor of radius 11.0 cm. Determine the electric

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

(a) $-6.76\times 10^{12}\ N/C$

(b) $-1.352\times 10^{13}\ N/C$

(c) $-7.2\times 10^{11}\ N/C$

Explanation:

(a)

Given:

Charge on sphere (Q) = $-20\ \mu C=-20\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Radius of sphere (R) = 11.0 cm = 0.110 m

Distance from the center (r) = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Coulomb's constant (k) = $9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Now, we know from Gaussian law for uniform charged spheres, the electric field at a distance 'r ≤ R' from the center of sphere is given as:

$E=(\frac{kQ}{R^3})r$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

$E_{in}=(\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times -20}{(0.110)^3})\times 0.05\\\\E_{in}=-1.352\times 10^{14}\times 0.05\\\\E_{in}=-6.76\times 10^{12}\ N/C(Negative\ sign\ implies\ radially\ inward\ direction)$

(b)

Given:

Charge on sphere (Q) = $-20\ \mu C=-20\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Radius of sphere (R) = 11.0 cm = 0.110 m

Distance from the center (r) = 10 cm = 0.10 m

Now, we know from Gaussian law for uniform charged spheres, the electric field at a distance 'r ≤ R' from the center of sphere is given as:

$E=(\frac{kQ}{R^3})r$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

$E_{in}=(\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times -20}{(0.110)^3})\times 0.10\\\\E_{in}=-1.352\times 10^{14}\times 0.10\\\\E_{in}=-1.352\times 10^{13}\ N/C(Negative\ sign\ implies\ radially\ inward\ direction)$

(c)

Given:

Charge on sphere (Q) = $-20\ \mu C=-20\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Radius of sphere (R) = 11.0 cm = 0.110 m

Distance from the center (r) = 50 cm = 0.50 m

Now, we know from Gaussian law for uniform charged spheres, the electric field at a distance 'r > R' from the center of sphere is given as:

$E=\dfrac{kQ}{r^2}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

$E_{out}=(\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times -20}{(0.50)^2})\\\\E_{out}=-7.2\times 10^{11}\ N/C(Negative\ sign\ implies\ radially\ inward\ direction)$

What effect does a tripling of the net force have upon the acceleration of the object?

dsp73

The formula of net Force is:F = mawhere m is the mass of the objecta is the acceleration of the object
thus, if we triple the net force applied to the object:
3F = maa = 3F / m
The acceleration is also tripled since the force is directly proportional to the acceleration.

Which way should a ceiling fan rotate in the summer

Allisa [31]

During summer months, your ceiling fan blades should be set to spin counterclockwise. When your ceiling fan spins quickly in this direction, it pushes air down and creates a cool breeze.
