1. Parallel plates. You have two equal but oppositely charged parallel conducting plates, separated by 10 cm. A voltmeter shows that the potential difference between the plates is 500 V. (a) Which is at a higher potential, the positive or negative plate? (b) How big is the electric field between the plates? (c) You let go of an electron next to the negative plate. How much work does the electric field do in moving the electron to the positive plate?...
(a) (4 marks) Two long, parallel, straight wires spaced d = 0.06 m apart carry currents 4 A and 7 A in opposite directions. Copy the diagram at right showing the two wires and indicating the direction of the currents in each. (i) Draw a vector indicating the direction of the magnetic field caused by the first wire at the position of the second wire. (ii) Indicate the direction of the force experienced by the second wire due to this...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
