An isolated charged conducting sphere has a radius R = 15.0 cm. At a distance of r = 22.0 cm from the center of the sphere the electric field due to the sphere has a magnitude of E = 4.90 ✕ 104 N/C.

A spherical metal (conductor) has a spherical cavity in side. There is a single point charge Q at the cavity center. The total charge on the meta is 0 (a) Describe how the charge is distributed on the E=? sphere. Would the surface charge density be u form at each surface?

A hollow insulating spherical shell of inner radius R0 and outer radius R1 is positively charged with a charge density of p(r) = p0(1 – (r/R1)3). A positive charge +Q is placed in the center of the hollow sphere and a concentric grounded conducting shell with inner radius R2 and outer radius R3 surrounds the hollow sphere. (The conducting shell was neutral before it is grounded.) (a) What is the total charge on the insulating sphere? (b) What charges are on the...
A conducting sphere with radius R is centered at the origin. The sphere is grounded having an electric potential of zero. A point charge Q is brought toward the sphere along the z- axis and is placed at the point ะ-8. As the point charge approaches the sphere mobile charge is drawn from the ground into the sphere. This induced charge arranges itself over the surface of the sphere, not in a uniform way, but rather in such a way...

2. In the derivation of the energy levels in the hydrogen atom one commonly assumes that the nucleus is a point charge. However, in reality the size of the nucleus is of the order of Im = 10-15m. Since this is very much smaller than the typical distance of the electron from the nucleus, which is of the order of a0-0.5A = 0.5 × 10-10m, the finite size of the nucleus can be taken into account perturbatively. (a) Assume that...
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...
Question 6 (5 marks) Two non-conducting spheres of equal radii R are placed adjacent to each other as shown in figure 5. Sphere 1 has a charge +91 distributed uniformly throughout its volume, and sphere 2 has charge +92 distributed uniformly throughout. A point P is chosen on the line joining the centers of the two spheres, at a distance R/2 from the centre of sphere 1 and 3R/2 from the centre of sphere 2. If the net electric field...
4. Use Kepler's Second Law and the fact that L-fxp to determine at which points in an elliptical orbit around the Sun a planet has maximum and minimum speeds. (Section 13.5 will help.) 5. At the end of example 13.10, there's an "Evaluate" blurb about how inside the surface of the Earth the force of gravity varies proportionally to the distance from the center, and it makes reference to the next chapter. which is about oscillation. Model the motion of...
