- A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, with a total of 10 electrons and 10 protons. The molecule is modeled as a dipole with an effective separation d = 3.9 1012 m between its positive and negative charges.

Sphere B is an insulator, and its charge is distributed uniformly throughout its volume. (i) How do the magnitudes of the electric fields they separately create at a radial distance of 6 cm compare?

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
- A helium nucleus (mass = 6.64×10−27kg, net charge = +2e)is fired directly toward a spherical conductor on a radially inward path. The conductor, which is fixed in place, has radiusR= 0.55 m and surface charge densityσ= +12 nC/m2. If the helium nucleus is initially very far away from the conductor, then what initial speed must it be given so that it just barely avoids touching the surface of the conductor before being repelled back to infinity? Make sure to draw a voltage vs. position curve for the spherical conductor as part of your representation.arrow_forwardAn electric dipole with dipole moment p = 4 × 10-5 C · m sets up an electric field (in newtons per coulomb) kp k (3xz, 3yz, 2z² - x² - y²) F(x, y, z) = 1/2 where r = = (x² + y² + z²)¹¹² with distance in meters and k = 8.99 × 10° N-m².
