9) At the science museum, they have a giant Van-de-Graaff generator. When operating, the large metal ball is charged with positive charge. If you place the top electrode of an electroscope NEAR (but not touching) the Van-de-Graff generator, the gold-leaves spring apart. Why?

    A Van de Graaff generator (like the one used in class) has a metal sphere on the top with a radius of 15.0 cm. It is charged to the point where the total charge on the surface of the sphere is +3.50 μC ? (e) What is the charge on the Van de Graaff generator now? (f) Suppose that by a “long distance” we mean 2.00 m (this is long enough for our purposes). In other words, the center of...

    Tthe Van de Graaff generator and sphere we have been assuming since the start that they are not polarizing each other. This is an approximation. In this question we will start to be able to assess how good this approximation is ? (a) Use the approximation that the Van de Graaff generator and ball are uniformly charged spheres to find the E-field very close to the surface of the Van de Graaff generator, at the point where the +ve x-axis...

    The sphere of a Van de Graaff generator has a charge of +3.28 μC. A small metal sphere nearby has a charge of +219 nC. They are separated 2.00 m. Let us set axes so that the origin is at the centre of the Van de Graaff generator and the small sphere is at 2.00ˆi m. They are far enough apart that we can make the approximation that they are not polarizing each other, so they can be treated as...

    A Van de Graaff generator includes a metal sphere of radius R=0.15m that is electrically isolated from its surroundings except for a wire which can carry current. When operational, the sphere has a potential of 400 kV. a) How much charge is on the sphere when it is fully charged? b) When the current is a steady I = 5.0 uA, how long does it take for the sphere to reach its operating potential if it is initially uncharged?
