A long copper cylindrical shell of inner radius 2 cm and outer radius 3 cm surrounds concentrically a charged long aluminum rod of radius 1 cm with a charge density of 4 pC/m. All charges on the aluminum rod reside at its surface. The inner surface of the copper shell has exactly opposite charge to that of the aluminum rod while the outer surface of the copper shell has the same charge as the aluminum rod. Find the magnitude and direction of theelectric field at points that are at the following distances from the center of the aluminum rod: (a) 0.5 cm, (b) 1.5 cm, (c) 2.5 cm, (d) 3.5 cm, and (e) 7 cm.
Two red blood cells each have a mass of 5.05 × 10-¹4 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The
repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. Once cell carries -2.60 pC of charge and the
other -2.70 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 8.20 µm in diameter.
What minimum relative speed u would the red blood cells need when very far away from each other to get close enough to just
touch? Ignore viscous drag from the surrounding liquid.
