The length of the capacitor is L=28cm. Figure 2 is the cross sectional view of the system. This system of rod and shell is connected to a voltage source of emf E=6.8volts. There is no dielectric material present in the system as of now. a) Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor b) Say the inner rod is negatively charged. Given this, calculate the charge density of the outer surface. And show how the electric field lines are oriented in this system. Hint: you can use the cross section for this (Fig. 2).arrow_forward

Imagine some helium in a cylinder with an initial volume of 1 liter and an initial pressure of 1 atm. Somehow the helium is made to expand to a final volume of 3 liters, in such a way that its pressure rises in direct proportion to its volume. (a) Sketch a graph of pressure vs. volume for this process. (b) Calculate the work done on the gas during this process, assuming that there are no "other" types of work being done.
