(a) Draw a microscopic representation of what happens to the charge distribution in a dielectric placed in an external uniform electric field. For simplicity, make the dielectric of some regular shape. How can you test your explanation? (b) What happens if you cut the dielectric in half (in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the E field), separating the halves by a small gap, while keeping it in the external field? How could you test your answer?
please draw the diagrams for the question

A negatively charged oil drop whose mass is 10-15 kg and whose charge is -6.4 10-19 Coulombs remains stationary under the influence of the Earth’s gravitational field and a uniform external electric field made by two oppositely-charged parallel plates (see diagram below). Ignore the influence of Earth’s electric field on the oil drop. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net electric field created by the plates (not the electric field of the oil drop !). Explain completely how you...
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...
Read about Cokes strategy in Africa in the article below and discuss the ethics of selling soft drinks to very poor people. Is this an issue that a company like Coke should consider? Africa: Coke's Last Frontier Sales are flat in developed countries. For Coke to keep growing, Africa is it By Duane Stanford Piles of trash are burning outside the Mamakamau Shop in Uthiru, a suburb of Nairobi, Kenya. Sewage trickles by in an open trench. Across the street,...
