(a) If Earth had a uniform surface charge density of 1.0 electron/m2 (a very artificial assumption), what would its potential be? (Set V= 0 at infinity.) What would be the (b) magnitude and (c) direction (radially inward or outward) of the electric field due to Earth just outside its surface?
One of my homework problems asks this:
A non-conducting sphere of radius R = 9.0 cm carries a charge Q = 5.0 mC distributed uniformly throughout its volume. At what distance, measured from the center of the sphere, does the electric field reach a value equal to half its maximum value?
The correct answer is marked as 4.5 cm and 12.7 cm.
I worked out:
Emax = kQ/R2
for half the max electric field, i'll use R2 for radius we need to find
Ehalf = kQ/2R2 = kQ/R22
giving me:
R2 = square root of 2R2 = R*square root of 2
= 9*square root of 2 = 12.7 cm
I am unable to figure out how 4.5 cm is also the answer.
An electron is released from rest from the surface of a large, uniformly charged, nonconducting
plate.
µC
The surface charge on the plate is: o = -4.0
Once released, what is the speed of the electron when it reaches a distance of 0.3 cm away from
the plate? (Ignore gravity).
Express your answer to the nearest km/s.
