In places such as hospital operating rooms or factories for electronic circuit boards, electric sparks must be avoided. A prison standing on a grounded floor and touching nothing else can typically have a body capacitance of 150 pF, in parallel with a foot capacitance of 80.0 pF produced by the dielectric soles of his or her shoes. The person acquires static electric charge from interactions with Ills or her surroundings. The static charge flows to ground through the equivalent resistance of the two shoe soles in parallel with each other. A pair of rubber-soled street shoes can present an equivalent resistance of 5.00 103 M. A pair of shoes with special static-dissipative soles can have an equivalent resistance of 1.00 M. Consider the persons body and shoes as forming an RC circuit with the ground. (a) How long does it take the rubber-soled shoes to reduce a persons potential from 3.00 103 V to 100? (b) How long does it take the static-dissipative shoes to do the same thing?
The Van de Graaff generator, diagrammed in Figure P26.24, is an electrostatic device that can raise the metal dome to a high voltage. The dome of such a generator is seen on the left in Figure 22.1a. In the device, charge is delivered continuously to the high-potential dome by means of a moving belt of insulating material. The belt is charged at point by means of a discharge between comb-like metallic needles and a grounded grid. The needles are maintained at a positive electric potential of typically 104 V. The positive charge on the moving belt is transferred to the dome by a second comb of needles at point . Because the electric field inside the dome is negligible, the positive charge on the belt is easily transferred to the dome from its interior regardless of its potential. Suppose the generator is operating so that the potential difference between the high potential dome and the charging needles at is 15.0 kV. Calculate the power required to drive the belt against electrical forces at an instant when the effective current delivered to the dome is 500 A. Figure P26.24
