Capitolo 22, Problema 9a

A charged paint is spread in a very thin uniform layer over the surface of a plastic sphere of diameter 12.012.0 cm, giving it a charge of −49.0−49.0 μμC. Find the electric field just inside the paint layer.

Understand that the problem involves a uniformly charged sphere, and we need to find the electric field just inside the surface of the sphere.
Recall that for a uniformly charged spherical shell, the electric field inside the shell is zero. This is due to the symmetry of the charge distribution, as per Gauss's Law.
Apply Gauss's Law, which states that the electric flux through a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed divided by the permittivity of free space: \( \Phi = \frac{Q}{\varepsilon_0} \).
Since the charge is only on the surface and we are considering a point just inside the surface, the enclosed charge is zero, leading to zero electric field inside.
Conclude that the electric field just inside the paint layer is zero, as the charges on the surface do not affect the field inside the sphere.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Electric Field

The electric field is a vector field around a charged object where a force would be exerted on other charges. It is defined as the force per unit charge and is measured in newtons per coulomb (N/C). For a spherical charge distribution, the electric field inside a conductor is zero, while outside, it behaves as if all the charge were concentrated at the center.

Intro to Electric Fields

Gauss's Law

Gauss's Law relates the electric flux through a closed surface to the charge enclosed by that surface. It states that the total electric flux is equal to the enclosed charge divided by the permittivity of free space. This principle is particularly useful for calculating electric fields of symmetric charge distributions, such as spherical ones.

Conductors in Electrostatic Equilibrium

In electrostatic equilibrium, the electric field inside a conductor is zero, and any excess charge resides on the surface. This is because charges redistribute themselves to cancel any internal electric fields. For a charged spherical conductor, the electric field just inside the surface is zero, as charges only affect the field outside the conductor.

The nuclei of large atoms, such as uranium, with 9292 protons, can be modeled as spherically symmetric spheres of charge. The radius of the uranium nucleus is approximately 7.4×10−157.4\(\times\)10^{-15} m. The electrons can be modeled as forming a uniform shell of negative charge. What net electric field do they produce at the location of the nucleus?
