Complete question:

A 50 m length of coaxial cable has a charged inner conductor (with charge +8.5 µC and radius 1.304 mm) and a surrounding oppositely charged conductor (with charge −8.5 µC and radius 9.249 mm).

Required:

What is the magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors? The Coulomb constant is 8.98755 × 10^9 N.m^2 . Assume the region between the conductors is air, and neglect end effects. Answer in units of V/m.

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is 5.793 x 10⁵ V/m

Explanation:

Given;

charge of the coaxial capable, Q = 8.5 µC = 8.5  x 10⁻⁶ C

length of the conductor, L = 50 m

inner radius, r₁ = 1.304 mm

outer radius, r₂ = 9.249 mm

The magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is given by;

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r} = \frac{Q}{2\pi \epsilon_o r L}

Where;

λ is linear charge density or charge per unit length

r is the distance halfway between the two cylindrical conductors

r = r_1 + \frac{1}{2}(r_2-r_1) \\\\r = 1.304 \ mm \ + \  \frac{1}{2}(9.249 \ mm-1.304 \ mm)\\\\r = 1.304 \ mm \ + \ 3.9725 \ mm\\\\r = 5.2765 \ mm

The magnitude of the electric field is now given as;

E = \frac{8.5*10^{-6}}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12})(5.2765*10^{-3})(50)} \\\\E = 5.793*10^5 \ V/m

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is 5.793 x 10⁵ V/m

What Converts sound to a signal in a telephone
Irina-Kira [14]

The part you talk into, that converts the sound of your voice
into an electrical signal, is a tiny microphone.

-- The sound waves from your voice are ripples in the air.

-- In most microphones, there's a tiny coil of wire hanging
between the ends of a tiny magnet.   

-- When the ripples in the air hit the little coil of wire, they
make it vibrate (wiggle) slightly.

-- When a coil of wire wiggles in the field of a magnet,
a current flows in the wire.

What is all cells in a body that arent formed in a reproductive organ???
vovangra [49]

Explanation:

An organ is made of several types of tissue and therefore several types of cells. For example, the heart contains muscle tissue that contracts to pump blood, fibrous tissue that makes up the heart valves, and special cells that maintain the rate and rhythm of heartbeats.
