Dielectric Constant Of Water

Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.

Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particle…

Determine the direction and magnitude of the electric field at point P, Fig. 16–69. The two charges are separated by a dis- tance of 2a. Point Pis on the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the charges, a distance x from the midpoint between them. Express your answers in terms of Q, x, a, and k. +Q FIGURE 16–69 a -Q Problem 66.

(II) A large electroscope is made with "leaves" that are 78-cm-long wires with tiny 21-g spheres at the ends. When charged, nearly all the charge resides on the spheres. If the wires each make a 26° angle with the vertical (Fig. 16–55), what total charge Q must have been applied to the electroscope? Ignore the mass of the wires. 26°126 78 cm 78 cm FIGURE 16–55 Problem 16.
