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.

Two spherical, hollow conductors are concentrically nested as shown in the cross-sectional diagram below and electrically isolated from each other. A net charge of -3 nC is divided between the conductors, with a total of -12 nC on the inner conductor and +9 nC on the outer one. The charges are, of course, free to move between the surfaces within each shell but cannot move from one shell to the other. The inner conductor has an inner radius of a=2 cm, outer radius of b=3 cm. The outer conductor has an inner radius of c=6 cm, an outer radius of d=8 cm. a (a) In equilibrium, all of the excess charge is found on the surfaces. Why is there no charge between a and b, nor between c and d? (b) Determine the net charge on each surface (ie how much charge is there at r = a, at r = b, at r = c and at r= = d).

Ra1 +9 -9 Rea Consider two concentric spherical conductors, separated by an isolating material with (absolute) permittivity e. The two conductors have radius R1 and R2, they are put on a potential V and V2, which leads to a charge +q and –q sitting on them, respectively. By the problem's spherical symmetry, we see that the charge on each conductor is distributed uniformly, and that, in spherical coordinates, the electric field between the two conductors is of the form E(r) = -E(r) er. Determine the capacity C using the following steps: 1. Use Gauss's Law in integral form, with N a ball of radius r (R2 < r < R1), to find an expression for E(r) in terms of q. 2. Calculate AV = Vị – V2 using the formula - E•dr Δν and with C the black line segment indicated on the drawing (parallel with e,). 3. The capacity now follows from C = q/AV.

Consider the following. 60.0⁰ B 0.500 mm (a) Red blood cells often become charged and can be treated as point charges. Healthy red blood cells are negatively charged, but unhealthy cells (due to the presence of a bacteria, for example) can become positively charged. In the figure, three red blood cells are oriented such that they are located on the corners of an equilateral triangle. The red blood cell charges are A = 1.80 pC, B = 7.10 pC, and C= -4.30 pC. Given these charges, what would the magnitude and direction of the electric field be at cell A? (1 pC = 1 x 10-12 C.) magnitude N/C direction o counterclockwise from the +x-axis (b) If the charge of cell A were doubled, how would the electric field at cell A change? O The field would be unchanged. O The magnitude of the field would be doubled. O The magnitude of the field would be quadrupled. O The magnitude of the field would be halved.
