Where, k is the Coulomb’s constant, Q is the charge, κ is the dielectric constant and r is the distance between the plates.

Calculation:

The electric fields in the regions is a<r<12(a + b) and 12(a + b)<r<b is:

  E1=kQκ1r2E2=kQκ2r2

Conclusion:

The electric field in the regions a<r<12(a + b) and 12(a + b)<r<b is,

Answer to Problem 86P

  |V|=kQ(ba)(a+b)κ1a+κ2bκ1κ2ab

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The radius of spherical capacitor =a

Charge =+Q

Inner radius of conducting spherical shell =b

Charge =Q

Dielectric constants =κ1&κ2

Formula used:

  |V|=|V1V2|

Calculation:

Because the electric field is directed radially away from the center, the potential of the outer spherical shell is less than the potential of the inner sphere. Hence, the difference in potential between the spheres is given by:

  |V|=|V1V2||V|=|a12(a+b)E1dr(12(a+b)bE2dr)||V|=|kQκ1a12(a+b)r2dr+kQκ212(a+b)br2dr|

  |V|=|[kQκ11r]a12(a+b)+kQκ21r|12(a+b)b|V|=|kQκ1(2a+b1a)+kQκ2(1b2a+b)||V|=|kQ(ab)(a+b)κ1a+κ2bκ1κ2ab||V|=kQ(ba)(a+b)κ1a+κ2bκ1κ2ab

Conclusion:

TheIntegrate expression of dV=Edl is |V|=kQ(ba)(a+b)κ1a+κ2bκ1κ2ab .

Answer to Problem 86P

  C=QkQ(ab)a+bκ1b+κ2bκ1κ2ab

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

The radius of spherical capacitor =a

Charge =+Q

Inner radius of conducting spherical shell =b

Q is the charge stored and V is the voltage.

Calculation:

  C=Q|V|C=QkQ(ab)a+bκ1b+κ2bκ1κ2ab

Conclusion:

An expression for the capacitance of the system is,

  C=QkQ(ab)a+bκ1b+κ2bκ1κ2ab

Required information A bungee jumper leaps from a bridge and undergoes a series of oscillations. Assume g = 9.78 m/s². If a 60.0-kg jumper uses a bungee cord that has an unstretched length of 30.1 m and she jumps from a height of 45.2 m above a river, coming to rest just a few centimeters above the water surface on the first downward descent, what is the period of the oscillations? Assume the bungee cord follows Hooke's law.
Required information The leg bone (femur) breaks under a compressive force of about 6.50 × 104 N for a human and 12.3 × 104 N for a horse. The human femur has a compressive strength of 160 MPa, whereas the horse femur has a compressive strength of 140 MPa. What is the effective cross-sectional area of the femur in a horse? (Note: Since the center of the femur contains bone marrow, which has essentially no compressive strength, the effective cross-sectional area is about 80% of the total cross-sectional area.) cm2
