Chapter 33, Problem 31A
Suppose that a metal tile cabinet is charged. How will the charge concentration at the corners of the cabinet compare with the charge concentration on the flat parts of the cabinet? Defend your answer.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To explain: The charge concentration at the corners of the cabinet compare with the charge concentration on the flat parts of the cabinet.
Explanation of Solution
The negative charge concentration is more at the corner.
The corner of a cabinet is considered to be a part of very small sphere. Since electric potential of small sphere (containing the same charge density as of flat area) is more that the potential of charged flat plate. The high potential difference causes the negative charge to move from flat plat to the corner. So the negative charge concentration is more at the corner.
