Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 30P
You are working on a laboratory device that includes a small sphere with a large electric charge Q. Because of this charged sphere, there is a strong electric field surrounding your device. Other researchers in your laboratory are complaining that your electric field is affecting their equipment. You think about how you can obtain the large electric field that you need close to the sphere but prohibit the field from reaching your colleagues. You decide to surround your device with a spherical transparent plastic shell. The nonconducting shell is given a uniform charge distribution. (a) The shell is placed so that the small sphere is at the exact center of the shell. Determine the charge that must he placed on the shell to completely eliminate the electric field outside of the shell. (b) What if the shell moves? Does the small sphere have to be at the center of the shell for this scheme to work?

Entropy is a state function rather than a path function, and in this problem, you will show an example of the entropy change for an ideal gas being the same when you go between the same two states by two different pathways. A. Express ASV = S2 (V2) - S₁(V1), the change in entropy upon changing the volume from V₁to V2, at fixed particle number N and energy, U. B. Express ASN = S₂(N₂) - S₁ (N₁), the change in entropy upon changing the particle number from N₁ to N2, at fixed volume V and energy U. C. Write an expression for the entropy change, AS, for a two-step process (V₁, N₁) → (V2, N₁) → (V2, N₂) in which the volume changes first at fixed particle number, then the particle number changes at fixed volume. Again, assume energy is constant.arrow_forward
