Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 7.46, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to continue moving, (a) Calculate the acceleration of the electron if the field strength is 2.50104 N/C . (b) Explain why the electron will not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole. Figure 7.46 Parallel conducting plates with opposite charges on them create a relatively uniform electric field used to accelerate electrons to the right. Those that go through the hole can be used to make a TV or computer screen glow or to produce X- rays.

Your friend gets really excited by the idea of making a lightning rod or maybe just a sparking toy by connecting two spheres as shown in Figure 7.39, and making R2so small that the electric field is greater than the dielectric strength of air, just from the usual 150 V/m electric field near the surface of the Earth. If R1is 10 cm. how small does R2to be, and does this seem practical? (Hint: recall the calculation for electric field at the surface of a conductor from Gauss's Law.)
A parallel-plate capacitor has a charge Q and plates of area A. What force acts on one plate to attract it toward the other plate? Because the electric field between the plates is E = Q/A0, you might think the force is F = QE = Q2/A0. This conclusion is wrong because the field E includes contributions from both plates, and the field created by the positive plate cannot exert any force on the positive plate. Show that the force exerted on each plate is actually F = Q2/2A0. Suggestion: Let C = 0A/x for an arbitrary plate separation x and note that the work done in separating the two charged plates is W=Fdx.
Problems 72, 73, and 74 are grouped. 72. A Figure P26.72 shows a source consisting of two identical parallel disks of radius R. The x axis runs through the center of each disk. Each disk carries an excess charge uniformly distributed on its surface. The disk on the left has a total positive charge Q, and the disk on the right has a total negative charge Q. The distance between the disks is 3R, and point A is 2R from the positively charged disk. Find an expression for the electric potential at point A between the disks on the x axis. Approximate any square roots to three significant figures. FIGURE P26.72 Problems 72, 73, and 74.
