In Problems 63 through 66 you are given the equation(s) used to solve a problem. For each of these

a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation(s).

b. Finish the solution of the problem

(9.0×109Nm2/C2)(2.0×10-9C)s(0.025m)3=1150N/C

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) A dipole with charge ±q(2×10-9C)and a distance sbetween them.

At a distance of 0.025mfrom the dipole, the electric field is 1150N/C.

In a dipole, what is the charge separation?

(b) The solution is1mm

Step by step solution

01

Given information and formula used

Given :

(9.0×109Nm2/C2)(2.0×10-9C)s(0.025m)3=1150N/C

Theory used :

Anelectric dipole deals with the separation of the positive and negative charges found in any electromagnetic system.

02

Writing a realistic problem and finding the solution of the problem

(a) Realistic problem :

A dipole with charge ±q(2×10-9C)and a distance sbetween them.

At a distance of 0.025mfrom the dipole, the electric field is 1150N/C.

In a dipole, what is the charge separation?

(b) We can safely assume that r>>s.

1150N/C=(9.0×109Nm2/C2)(2.0×10-9C)s(0.025m)3s=(1150N/C)((0.025m)3(9.0×109Nm2/C2)(2.0×10-9C)=1×10-3m=1mm

A small object is released at point 3in the center of the capacitor in FIGURE Q23.11. For each situation, does the object move to the right, to the left, or remain in place? If it moves, does it accelerate or move at constant speed?

a. A positive object is released from rest.

b. A neutral but polarizable object is released from rest.

c. A negative object is released from rest.

The electric field 5.0cmfrom a very long charged wire is (2000 N/C, toward the wire). What is the charge (in nC) on a1.0-cm-long segment of the wire?

A parallel-plate capacitor consists of two square plates, size L×L, separated by distance d. The plates are given charge±Q. What is the ratio Ef/Eiof the final to initial electric field strengths if

(a) Q is doubled,

(b)L is doubled, and

(c) d is doubled? Each part changes only one quantity; the other quantities have their initial values

An electric field can induce an electric dipole in a neutral atom or molecule by pushing the positive and negative charges in opposite directions. The dipole moment of an induced dipole is directly proportional to the electric field. That is, p=αE, where αis called the polarizability of the molecule. A bigger field stretches the molecule farther and causes a larger dipole moment.

a. What are the units of α?

b. An ion with charge qis distancerfrom a molecule with polarizability α. Find an expression for the force Fionondipole.

A positron is an elementary particle identical to an electron except that its charge is +e. An electron and a positron can rotate about their center of mass as if they were a dumbbell connected by a massless rod. What is the orbital frequency for an electron and a positron1.0nm apart?
