- Suppose a capacitor consists of two coaxial thin cylindrical conductors. The inner cylinder of radius ra has a charge of +Q, while the outer cylinder of radius rh has charge -Q. The electric field E at a radial distancer from the central axis is given by the function: E = ae-r/ao + B/r + bo where alpha (a), beta (B), ao and bo are constants. Find an expression for its capacitance. First, let us derive the potential difference Vab between the two conductors. The potential difference is related to the electric field by: Vab = Edr = - Edr Calculating the antiderivative or indefinite integral, Vab = (-aaoe-r/ao + B + bo By definition, the capacitance C is related to the charge and potential difference by: C= Q I Vabarrow_forwardA cylinder of length L=5m has a radius R=2 cm and linear charge density 2=300 µC/m. Although the linear charge density is a constant through the cylinder, the charge density within the cylinder changes with r. Within the cylinder, the charge density of the cylinder varies with radius as a function p( r) =p.r/R. Here R is the radius of the cylinder and R=2 cm and p, is just a constant that you need to determine. b. Find the constant po in terms of R and 2. Then plug in values of R and 1. to find the value for the constant p. c. Assuming that L>>R, use Gauss's law to find out the electric field E inside the cylinder (rR) in terms of 1. and R. d. Based on your result from problem c, find the electric field E at r=1cm and r=4cm.arrow_forwardA charged nonconducting rod has a length L of 2.0 m and a cross-sectional area A of 8.0 cm?; it is placed along the positive side of an x axis with one end at the origin. The volume charge density p is the charge per unit volume, with the units of coulomb per cubic meter. a) How many excess electrons are on the rod if the rod's volume charge density pu is uniform with a value of –10 µC/m³? How does that compare to the total number of electrons you would estimate would be in the rod? (By compare, just a ballpark estimate- to within several orders of magnitude, factors of ten). b) What is an expression for the number of excess electrons on the rod if the rod's volume charge is nonuniform and is given instead by pN=ax³ where a is a constant? c) What value of a is necessary for the rod in part b to have the same number of excess electrons as the rod in part a)?arrow_forward
