Two extremely large nonconducting horizontal sheets each carry uniform charge density on the surfaces facing each other. The upp

er sheet carries +5.00 µC/m2. The electric field midway between the sheets is 4.25 × 105 N/C pointing downward. What is the surface charge density on the lower sheet? (ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N · m2)

This problem refers to a parallel plate capacitor. There is an electric field between the two plates. The working equation to be used is the Gauss’s Law which is

Electric field = Surface charge density / ε0

The answer is -2.52 μC/m2.

Answer:

$E=5.7\times 10^{-3}\ V/m$

Explanation:

Given that

$m_p=5.18\times 10^{-26}\ kg$

re= 46 cm

Vp= 180 m/s

We know that

$E=\dfrac{\Delta V}{r}$

$\Delta V=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{m_pv_p^2}{e}$

So

$E=\dfrac{1}{4}\dfrac{m_pv_p^2}{e.r_e}$

Now by putting the all given values in the questions

$E=\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{5.18\times 10^{-26}\times 180^2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.46}$

$E=5.7\times 10^{-3}\ V/m$

So the average electric field is $E=5.7\times 10^{-3}\ V/m$ .

A positively-charged particle is released near the positive plate of a parallel plate capacitor. a. Describe its path after it i

il63 [147K]

Answer:

a. The electric field lines are linear and perpendicular to the plates inside a parallel-plate capacitor, and always from positive plate to the negative plate. If a positive charge is released near the positive plate, then<em> it will follow a linear path towards the negative plate under the influence of electrostatic force, F = Eq</em>, where q is the charge of the particle. The electric field inside a parallel plate capacitor is constant and equal to

This can be calculated by Gauss' Law.

A positive charge always follow the electric field lines when released. Another approach is that the positive plate repels the positive charge and negative plate attracts the positive charge. Therefore, the positive charge follows a path towards the negative charge.

b. The particle moves from the higher potential to the lower potential. <em>The direction of motion is the same as the direction of the force that moves the particle, so the work done on the particle by that force is positive.</em>

ser-zykov [4K]

Complete Question

Two containers have a substantial amount of the air evacuated out of them so that the pressure inside is half the pressure at sea level. One container is in Denver at an altitude of about 6,000 ft and the other is in New Orleans (at sea level). The surface area of the container lid is A=0.0155 m. The air pressure in Denver is PD = 79000 Pa. and in New Orleans is PNo = 100250 Pa. Assume the lid is weightless.

Part (a) Write an expression for the force FNo required to remove the container lid in New Orleans.

Part (b) Calculate the force FNo required to lift off the container lid in New Orleans, in newtons.

Part (c) Calculate the force Fp required to lift off the container lid in Denver, in newtons.

Part (d) is more force required to lift the lid in Denver (higher altitude, lower pressure) or New Orleans (lower altitude, higher pressure)?

Answer:

a

The expression is $F_{No} = A [P_{No} - \frac{P_{sea}}{2}]$

b

$F_{No}= 7771.125 \ N$

c

$F_p = 2.2*10^{6} N$

d

From the value obtained we can say the that the force required to open the lid is higher at Denver

Explanation:

The altitude of container in Denver is $d_D = 6000 \ ft = 6000 * 0.3048 = 1828.8m$

The surface area of the container lid is $A = 0.0155m^2$

The altitude of container in New Orleans is sea-level

The air pressure in Denver is $P_D = 79000 \ Pa$

The air pressure in new Orleans is $P_{ro} = 100250 \ Pa$

Generally force is mathematically represented as

$F_{No} = \Delta P A$

So we are told the pressure inside is is half the pressure the at sea level so the the pressure acting on the container would

The pressure at sea level is a constant with a value of

$P_{sea} = 101000 Pa$

So the $\Delta P$ which is the difference in pressure within and outside the container is

$\Delta P = P_{No} - \frac{P_{sea}}{2}$

Therefore

$F_{No} = A [P_{No} - \frac{P_{sea}}{2}]$

Now substituting values

$F_{No} = 0.0155 [100250 - \frac{101000}{2}]$

$F_{No}= 7771.125 \ N$

The force to remove the lid in Denver is

$F_p = \Delta P_d A$

So we are told the pressure inside is is half the pressure the at sea level so the the pressure acting on the container would

The pressure at sea level is a constant with a value of

$P_{sea} = 101000 Pa$

At sea level the air pressure in Denver is mathematically represented as

$P_D = \rho g h$

=> $g = \frac{P_D}{\rho h}$

Let height at sea level is h = 1

The air pressure at height $d_D$

$P_d__{D}} = \rho gd_D$

=> $g = \frac{P_d_D}{\rho d_D}$

Equating the both

$\frac{P_D}{\rho h} = \frac{P_d_D}{\rho d_D}$

$P_d_D = P_D * d_D$

Substituting value

$P_d__{D}} = 1828.2 * 79000$

$P_d__{D}} = 1.445*10^{8} Pa$

So

$\Delta P_d = P_{d} _D - \frac{P_{sea}}{2}$

=> $\Delta P_d = 1.445 *10^{8} - \frac{101000}{2}$

$\Delta P_d = 1.44*10^{8}Pa$

So

$F_p = \Delta P_d A$

$= 1.44*10^8 * 0.0155$

$F_p = 2.2*10^{6} N$
