SSM A solid copper sphere whose radius is 1.0 cm has a very thin surface coating of nickel. Some of the nickel atoms are radioactive, each atom emitting an electron as it decays. Half of these electrons enter the copper sphere, each depositing 100 keV of energy there. The other half of the electrons escape, each carrying away a charge −e. The nickel coating has an activity of 3.70 × 108 radioactive decays per second. The sphere is hung from a long, nonconducting string and isolated from its surroundings. (a) How long will it take for the potential of the sphere to increase by 1000 V? (b) How long will it take for the temperature of the sphere to increase by 5.0 K due to the energy deposited by the electrons? The heat capacity of the sphere is 14 J/K.

- A typical AA size rechargeable NiMH battery can store 1100-2100 mAh of electric charge. The small print on the battery in your hand says 1530 mAh. Can you express this amount of electric charge using the usual coulomb units? You are now charging a camera battery. The charger moves 4470 C of electric charge from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal. (In reality the charger moves the negative electrons from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, but this is not important for us right now.) Assuming - incorrectly - that the voltage of the battery remains a constant 3.20 V during the whole charging process, determine the work done by the charger. And now you are charging a capacitor bank for a high-voltage physics experiment. The power supply moves Q = 8990 C of electric charge in the charging process. The supply is set to stop, when the voltage reaches AV = 710 V. How much work did the power supply perform?arrow_forwardI have placed an electron at the origin.
