You are working in a laboratory, using very sensitive measurement equipment. Your supervisor has explained that the equipment is also very sensitive to electrical discharge from human operators. Specification tables for the equipment indicate that an electrical discharge providing even a very small amount of energy of 250 μJ is enough to damage the equipment. Your supervisor wants to install an apparatus that will be used to remove the electrical charge from individuals’ bodies before they touch the equipment. To do this, she asks you to estimate (a) the capacitance of the human body and determine (b) the charge on the body and (c) the electric potential of the body, relative to a point infinitely far away, corresponding to the energy transfer that will damage the equipment.

Electric Potential Energy (An lonic Crystal) 3. Four positive and four negative charges of equal magnitudes +Q are arranged alternately on the corners of a cube of side length d, +Q as drawn. This is a model of one cell of an ionic crystal such as -Q +Q salt, NaCl. a. Calculate the potential energy of this configuration. As d usual, take the energy to be zero infinitely far away from the charges. Express the energy in terms of k, Q, and d. d Hints: -Q +Q There are 12 pairs of opposite charges along the edges There are 12 pairs of like charges along the diagonals of each face There are 4 pairs of opposite charges along the cube's long diagonals b. In part (a), you should have determined that U < 0. Explain the relationship between this result and the observation that such crystals freely form in nature.
