Chapter 2, Problem 2.18P

(a)

To determine

With what velocity does the electron strike the positive plate if a cylindrical capacitor is made of two coaxial conductors—the outer one’s diameter is 20.2 mm and the inner one’s diameter is 0.2 mm; the inner conductor is 1000-V positive with respect to the outer conductor?

(a)

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Given info:.

V=1000Vd=0.01mm=9.11×1031kgq=1.602×1019C.

Formula used:.

Kinetic energy

KE=12mv2.

Potential energy

PE=qV.

Calculation:.

We have,

12mv2=qVv=2qVm=2×1.602×1019×10009.11×1031=1.9×107m/s.

Conclusion:.

Velocity=1.9×107m/s

(b)

To determine

How long does it take the electron to travel the 1-cm distance? Compare the results to those of Problem 2.17.

Explanation of Solution

Given info:.

V=1000Vd=0.01mm=9.11×1031kgq=1.602×1019Crb=20.22×103m=1.01×102mra=1×104m.

Formula used:.

Force

F = ma = qE

Calculation:.

We have force,

  F=ma=qEa=qEm.

For a cylindrical capacitor,

E=1rVln(rbra).

We have,

v=at=drdt=qmVrln(rbra)trdr=qmVln(rbra)tdtrarbrdr=qmVln(rbra)0ttdt12(rb2ra2)=qmVln(rbra)t22t=(rb2ra2)qmVln(rbra)=((1.01×102)2(1×104)2)1.602×10199.11×10311000ln(1.01×1021×104)=1.65×109s.

This value is higher than the value obtained in Problem 2.17

Conclusion:.

Time taken=1.65×109s

Consider a rod of length L carrying a charge of q distributed uniformly over its length. Where applicable, let V(r→∞)=0. What is the voltage V at point P (at distance a away from the near end of the rod) due to the charge over the length of the rod? Express your answer in terms of given parameters (L,q,a) and physical constants (ke, ε0). Use underscore ("_") for subscripts and spell out Greek letters. Calculate the electric field at point P by differentiating V with respect to a. Let positive sign of E indicate direction of electric field pointing away from the rod.
4. During charging of the capacitor in Fig. 4.1, both the voltage [Ve(t) = q(t)/C] at the capacitor and the voltage at the resistance [VR(t) = ic(t)R] change with time. Let us consider a charging circuit that has C = 1F, and e = 5 V. Charging starts at time, t = 0, and it is found that, V. becomes equal to VR at 4.16 s after the charging starts. Based on this information, what is the value of R, in this circuit? Show all steps of your calculation.
The circuit shown in Figure 4.55 contains two nonlinear devices and a current source. The characteristics of the two devices are given. Determine the voltage, v, for (a) is = 1 A, (b) is = 10 A, (c) is 10 A, (c) is = 1 cos (t). is N₁ N2 i2 + i₁(A) ν -1 v (V) i2(A) + v (V)
