The inner cylinder of a long, cylindrical capacitor has radius r and linear charge density +λ. It is surrounded by a coaxial cyl

indrical conducting shell with inner radius r and linear charge density -λ. (a) What is the energy density in the region between the conductors at a distance r from the axis?b) Integrate the energy density calculated in part (a) over the volume between the conductors in a length L of the capacitor to obtain the total electric-field energy per unit length

Hi there!

a)

We can begin by using the equation for energy density.

U = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2

U = Energy (J)

ε₀ = permittivity of free space

E = electric field (V/m)

First, derive the equation for the electric field using Gauss's Law:
\Phi _E = \oint E \cdot dA = \frac{Q_{encl}}{\epsilon_0}

Creating a Gaussian surface being the lateral surface area of a cylinder:
A = 2\pi rL\\\\E \cdot 2\pi rL = \frac{Q_{encl}}{\epsilon_0}\\\\Q = \lambda L\\\\E \cdot 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}\\\\E = \frac{\lambda }{2\pi r \epsilon_0}

Now, we can calculate the energy density using the equation:
U = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E^2

Plug in the expression for the electric field and solve.

U = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 (\frac{\lambda}{2\pi r \epsilon_0})^2\\\\U = \frac{\lambda^2}{8\pi^2r^2\epsilon_0}

b)

Now, we can integrate over the volume with respect to the radius.

Recall:
V = \pi r^2L \\\\dV = 2\pi rLdr

Now, we can take the integral of the above expression. Let:
r_i = inner cylinder radius

r_o = outer cylindrical shell inner radius

Total energy-field energy:

U = \int\limits^{r_o}_{r_i} {U_D} \, dV =   \int\limits^{r_o}_{r_i} {2\pi rL *U_D} \, dr

Plug in the equation for the electric field energy density and solve.

U =   \int\limits^{r_o}_{r_i} {2\pi rL *\frac{\lambda^2}{8\pi^2r^2\epsilon_0}} \, dr\\\\U = \int\limits^{r_o}_{r_i} { L *\frac{\lambda^2}{4\pi r\epsilon_0}} \, dr\\

Bring constants in front and integrate. Recall the following integration rule:
\int {\frac{1}{x}} \, dx  = ln(x) + C

Now, we can solve!

U = \frac{\lambda^2 L}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\int\limits^{r_o}_{r_i} { \frac{1}{r}} \, dr\\\\\\U = \frac{\lambda^2 L}{4\pi \epsilon_0} ln(r)\left \| {{r_o} \atop {r_i}} \right. \\\\U = \frac{\lambda^2 L}{4\pi \epsilon_0} (ln(r_o) - ln(r_i))\\\\U = \frac{\lambda^2 L}{4\pi \epsilon_0} ln(\frac{r_o}{r_i})

To find the total electric field energy per unit length, we can simply divide by the length, 'L'.

\frac{U}{L} = \frac{\lambda^2 L}{4\pi \epsilon_0} ln(\frac{r_o}{r_i})\frac{1}{L} \\\\\frac{U}{L} = \boxed{\frac{\lambda^2 }{4\pi \epsilon_0} ln(\frac{r_o}{r_i})}

And here's our equation!

5. What is the amount of force required to accelerate a 20 kg object at a rate of 5 m/sz?
GenaCL600 [577]

Force required is 100 N

<u>Given that;</u>

Rate of acceleration = 5 m/s²

Mass of object = 20kg

<u>Find:</u>

Force required

<u>Computation:</u>

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Force required = Rate of acceleration × Mass of object

Force required = 20 × 5

Force required = 100 N

A meteorologist plans to release a weather balloon from ground level, to be used for high-altitude atmospheric measurements. The
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

563.86 N

Explanation:

We know the buoyant force F = weight of air displaced by the balloon.

F = ρgV where ρ = density of air = 1.29 kg/m³, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and V = volume of balloon = 4πr/3 (since it is a sphere) where r = radius of balloon = 2.20 m

So, F = ρgV = ρg4πr³/3

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

F =  1.29 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 4π × (2.20 m)³/3

= 1691.58 N/3

= 563.86 N
