Get started for freeCurrent passes through a solution of sodium chloride. In
ions arrive at the negative electrode and
ions arrive at the positive electrode. (a) What is the current passing between
the electrodes? (b) What is the direction of the current?
Can potential difference between the terminals of a battery ever be opposite in direction to the emf? If it can, give an example. If it cannot, explain why not.
Lightning Strikes. During lightning strikes from a cloud to the
ground, currents as high as 25,000 A can occur and last for about 40 ms.
How much charge is transferred from the cloud to the earth during such a
strike?
Questions: A conductor that carries a net charge has a hollow, empty cavity in its interior. Does the potential vary from point to point within the material of the conductor? What about within the cavity? How does the potential inside the cavity compare to the potential within the material of the conductor?
Question: A positive point charge is placed near a very large conducting plane. A professor of physics asserted that the field caused by this configuration is the same as would be obtained by removing the plane and placing a negative point charge of equal magnitude in the mirror image position behind the initial position of the plane. Is this correct? Why or why not?
