- An electrophorus is a device developed more than 200 years ago for the purpose of charging objects. The insulator on top of a pedestal is rubbed with a cloth, such as wool (Fig. P23.18A). A conductor is placed on top of the insulator, and the conductor is connected to ground by a conducting wire (Fig. P23.18B). (The conductor has an insulating handle, so charge cannot be transferred between the person and the conductor.) The conductor is then removed (Fig. P23.18C). The conductor may then be used to transfer charge to other objects. If the insulators charge after being Ribbed with the wool is negative, what is the charge of the conductor when it is removed?arrow_forwardLong, long ago, on a planet far, far away, a physics experiment was carried out. First, a 0.250-kg ball with zero net chargewas dropped from rest at a height of 1.00 m. The ball landed0.552 s later. Next, the ball was given a net charge of 7.75 mC anddropped in the same way from the same height. This time theball fell for 0.680 s before landing. What is the electric potentialat a height of 1.00 m above the ground on this planet, given thatthe electric potential at ground level is zero? (Air resistance canbe ignored.)arrow_forwardTwo large parallel plates are separated by a 0.015-m gap. The plates are connected to the terminals of a 12-V battery, which remains connected. (a) What is the strength of the electric field in the region between the plates? (b) What happens to the strength of the electric field if the gap between the plates is reduced to 0.010 m? Justify your answer. (c) Does charge flow through the battery as the separation between the plate is being reduced? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- The Cassini Orbiter spacecraft collected immense amounts of data about other planets and moons in our solar system during its twenty year mission that began in 1997. As it flew through the upper atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan, Cassini measured which molecules were present in the atmosphere using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The basic idea is that a molecule is ionized -- given a net charge of +e -- and accelerated from rest through a potential of 31 kV. Then by measuring the time it takes to fly across a distance 16 cm you can know the mass of molecule (and hence have a good idea about which molecule it is). Given these parameters, what is the time-of-flight for a water molecule in such a device, measured in nano-seconds. Give your answer to 3 significant digits.arrow_forwardIf: C1 = 32.9 pF, C2= 29.0 pF, C3= 54.5 pF, C4= 25.4 pF,and V= 27.6 V How much charge is on the top plate of C1? Answer in pC to the nearest pC.arrow_forwardScientifically, which part of your anatomy is most likely to get an electrostatic shock? Consider at least head, hand, thumb, finger, palm and shoe. Assuming you pick up 1 µC of charge while walking on a carpet in the dry season, what Voltage would you estimate you were compared to ground? How close to a grounded conductor do you need to be to get a “shock". Assume the dry air breakdown (ionization) electric field is 1500 kV/marrow_forward

- Two red blood cells each have a mass of 1.55 × 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 -1.60 pC of charge and the other -3.10 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 7.60 µm in diameter. What minimum relative speed v 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.arrow_forwardAs a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of the Earth's ionosphere, its potential is typically changed by 2.0 V before it completes one revolution. By assuming that the shuttle is a sphere of radius 12 m, estimate the amount of charge it collects in nC (nano Coulombs).arrow_forwardThe voltage across a membrane forming a cell wall is 84.0 mV and the membrane is 8.40 nm thick. What is the electric field strength in volts per meter? (The value is surprisingly large, but correct. Membranes are discussed later in the textbook.) You may assume a uniform E-field.arrow_forward
