Find the maximum net charge that can be placed on a spherical conductor of radius 64 cm before dielectric breakdown of the air occurs. The dielectric strength of the air is 3
An uncharged spherical conductor has a radius of 2.4 m. What is the maximum charge you can deposit on the sphere before dielectric breakdown of the air around it occurs? -> determine the strength of the electric field at the surface of the conductor and compare it against the field strength of 3 × 106 V/m above which air becomes a conductor
The dielectric strength of air (that is, the maximum electric field air can withstand before it becomes a conductor due to ionization) is 3.0 times 10^6 V/m. Small van de Graaf generators are commonly used in hair-raising demonstrations that must achieve a high electric potential. a) A spherical conductor has a radius of 30 cm (about 1 ft). What is the maximum charge that can be placed on the sphere before dielectric breakdown of the surrounding air occurs? b) For...

The dielectric strength of air, E = 3.0×106 V/m, is the maximum field that air can withstand before it breaks down and becomes conducting. How much charge can be placed on a spherical conductor with a 8.0- cm radius before the field at its surface exceeds the breakdown strength of the air? The answer to this section is 2.14×10-6 C. My question: What would be the electric potential at the surface of this conductor?
(a) How much charge is on the surface of an isolated spherical conductor that has a 9.5 cm radius and is charged to 1.80 kV? (b) What is the electrostatic potential energy of this conductor? (Assume the potential is zero far from the sphere.)
Consider a spherical conductor of radius 0.05 m. A net charge of 2.6x10-12 C is placed upon the sphere (same amount as in the previous problem). What now is the electric field strength, in N/C at a point halfway between the center and edge of the sphere?
A coaxial cable consists of an internal solid cylindrical conductor of radius a and a cylindrical conductive thin shell of radius b separated by a dielectric of permittivity e.Assuming the length of the cable as infinite and that it carries a linear electric charge of qlcoulombs/meter, find the following:1. The electric field E for a ≤p≤b2. The voltage difference between the two conductor surfaces. 3. Since the maximum value of the electric field occurs at the surface p = a,...
a charge is placed on a spherical conductor of radius r1. this sphere is then connected to a distant sphere of radius r2 (not wqual to r1) by aconducting wire. after the charges on the spheres are in equilibrium
A point charge, ?=−4.1nC, is placed at the center of a hollow spherical conductor (inner radius = 2.6mm, outer radius = 5.6mm) which has a net charge of zero. If point A is 5.0mm from the charge ? and point B is 8.6mm from the charge ?, what is the potential difference, ??−?? in kiloVolts?
