The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that

we can still apply Gauss's law to a Gaussian surface that is entirely within an insulator by replacing the right-hand side of Gauss's law, Qin/ε0, with Qin/ε , where ε is the permittivity of the material. (Technically, ε0 is called the vacuum permittivity.) Suppose a long, straight wire with linear charge density 250 nC/m is covered with insulation whose permittivity is 2.5ε0.
What is the electric field strength at a point inside the insulation that is 3.0 mm from the axis of the wire?

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider a Gaussian surface inside the insulation in the form of curved wall of a cylinder having radius equal to 3mm and unit length , length being parallel to the axis of wire .

Charge inside the cylinder = 250 x 10⁻⁹ C .

Let E be electric field at the curved surface , perpendicular to surface .

Total electric flux coming out of curved surface

= 2π r x 1 x E

= 2 x 3.14 x 3 x 10⁻³ E

According to Gauss's theorem , total flux coming out

= charge inside / ε ( 250 x 10⁻⁹C  charge will lie inside cylinder )

= 250 x 10⁻⁹ / 2.5 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²    (  ε = 2.5 ε₀ = 2.5 x 8.85 x 10⁻¹² )

= 11.3 x 10³ weber .

so ,

2 x 3.14 x 3 x 10⁻³ E = 11.3 x 10³

E =  11.3 x 10³ /  2 x 3.14 x 3 x 10⁻³

= .599 x 10⁶ N /C .

A 2200 kg truck has put its front bumper against the rear bumper of a 2400 kg SUV to give it a push. With the engine at full pow
leonid [27]

Answer:

a) The maximum possible acceleration the truck can give the SUV is 7.5 meters per second squared

b) The force of the SUV's bumper on the truck's bumper is 18000 newtons

Explanation:

a) By Newton's second law we can find the relation between force and acceleration of the SUV:

F=ma

With F the maximum force the truck applies to the SUV, m the mass of the SUV and a the acceleration of the SUV; solving for a:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{18000}{2400}\approx7.5\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

b) Because at this acceleration the truck's bumper makes a force of 18000 N on the SUV’s bumper by Third Newton’s law the force of the SUV’s bumper on the truck’s bumper is 18000 N too because they are action-reaction force pairs.

Observe: Up until now, all the problems you have solved have involved converting only one unit. However, some conversion problem
ipn [44]

Answer:

t is appropriate to clarify that units such as time and angles the transformation is not in base ten, for example:

        60 s = 1 min

        60 min = 1 h

        24 h = 1 day

Therefore, for this transformation, you must be more careful

the length transformation is base 10

Explanation:

In many exercises the units used are transformed by equations into other units called derivatives, in general the transformation of derived units is the product of the transformation of the constituent units.

In the example of velocity, the derivative unit is m / s, which is why it works in the same way that you transform length and time if in the equation it is multiplying it is multiplied and if it is dividing it is divided.

It is appropriate to clarify that units such as time and angles the transformation is not in base ten, for example:

        60 s = 1 min

        60 min = 1 h

        24 h = 1 day

Therefore, for this transformation, you must be more careful

the length transformation is base 10

      1000 m = 1 km
