Chapter 25, Problem 62EAP

Il Electrodes of area A are spaced distance d apart to form a parallel-plate capacitor. The electrodes are charged to ± q.

a. What is the infinitesimal increase in electric potential energy dU if an infinitesimal amount of charge dq is moved from the negative electrode to the positive electrode?

b. An uncharged capacitor can be charged to ± Q by transfer-ring charge dq over and over and over. Use your answer to part a to show that the potential energy of a capacitor charged to

± Q is U cap = 1 2 QΔV C

4.) The diagram shows the electric field lines of a positively charged conducting sphere of radius R and charge Q. A B Points A and B are located on the same field line. A proton is placed at A and released from rest. The magnitude of the work done by the electric field in moving the proton from A to B is 1.7×10-16 J. Point A is at a distance of 5.0×10-2m from the centre of the sphere. Point B is at a distance of 1.0×10-1 m from the centre of the sphere. (a) Explain why the electric potential decreases from A to B. [2] (b) Draw, on the axes, the variation of electric potential V with distance r from the centre of the sphere.
