Chapter 25, Problem 1OQ
To determine

The electric potential in a certain region of space.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1OQ

The correct conclusion is option (b) It does not vary with position.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for electric field in terms of potential difference.

    E=dVdr

Here, dr is the distance from the charge to the field point and dV is the potential difference.

Conclusion:

Substitute 0 for E in the above equation.

    0=dVdrdVdr=0

When the value of electric potential after differentiation is equal to 0, then it is said to be constant which means that the electric potential is constant when the value of electric field is 0 and it does not vary with the position.

Therefore, option (b) It does not vary with position; is the correct conclusion.

Consider the blocks on the curved ramp as seen in the figure. The blocks have masses m₁ = 2.00 kg and m₂ = 3.60 kg, and are initially at rest. The blocks are allowed to slide down the ramp and they then undergo a head-on, elastic collision on the flat portion. Determine the heights (in m) to which m₁ and m2 rise on the curved portion of the ramp after the collision. Assume the ramp is frictionless, and h 4.40 m. m2 = m₁ m hm1 hm2 m i
