Electric Field and Potential
EXERCISES, Q71 to Q75
71. Two particles A and B, having opposite charges 2.0x10⁻⁶ C and -2.0x10⁻⁶ C, are placed at a separation of 1.0 cm. (a) Write down the electric dipole moment of this pair. (b) Calculate the electric field at a point on the axis of the dipole 1.0 m away from the center. (c) Calculate the electric field at a point on the perpendicular bisector of the dipole and 1.0 m away from the center.
Answer: (a) Given q = 2.0x10⁻⁶ C. d = 1.0 cm =0.01 m.
Hence the electric dipole moment of the pair,
p =qd
=2.0x10⁻⁶*0.01 C-m
=2.0x10⁻⁸ C-m.
(b) The electric field at a point on the dipole axis is given as,
E =2kp/r³, where r is the distance of the point from the center of the dipole.
=2*9x10⁹*2.0x10⁻⁸/1³
=360 N/C. Along the axis.
(c) On the perpendicular bisector of a dipole, the electric field at a point is given as,
E =kp/r³
=9x10⁹*2.0x10⁻⁸/1³
=180 N/C. Along the antiparallel to the dipole axis.
72. Three charges are arranged on the vertices of an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure (29-E6). Find the dipole moment of the combination. The figure for Q-72
Answer: ABC is an equilateral triangle. At A, there is 2q charge while at B and C there is -q charge each. It can be assumed that there are two dipoles along AB and AC. The dipole moment of AB =qd along BA, and that of AC =qd along CA.The diagram for Q-72
The resultant of these two vectors is the dipole moment of the combination, its magnitude is,
p (resultant) = √{2(qd)²+2(qd)².cos 60°}
=√{3(qd)²}
=qd√3, along the angle bisector, at A and away from the triangle, as shown in the diagram.
73. Find the magnitude of the electric field at the point P in the configuration shown in the (29-E7) for d>>a. Take 2qa = p. The figure for Q-73
Answer: (a) The magnitude of electric field at P =kq/d²
=q/4πεₒd².
(b) The two charges q and -q are equivalent to a dipole with separation r=2a. Its dipole moment, p =q*2a =2aq
P is at the perpendicular bisector of the dipole. Hence the magnitude of the electric field here,
E =kp/d³
=(1/4πεₒ)p/d³
=p/4πεₒd³.
(c) Here we take the charges q and -q separated at 2a distance apart as a dipole. Its dipole moment, p=2aq. Point P is at the perpendicular bisector of this dipole and as in (b) above the magnitude of the electric field at P due to this dipole, E = p/4πεₒd³. Its direction is horizontal.
The electric field at point P due to the middle charge q,
E' =q/4πεₒd². Directed vertically upward. So the electric fields E and E' are mutually perpendicular. Hence the magnitude of the resultant electric field =√(E²+E'²)
=(1/4πεₒd²)√(q²+p²/d²)
=(1/4πεₒd³)√(q²d²+p²).
74. Two particles carrying charges -q and +q and having equal masses m each, are fixed at the ends of a light rod of length a to form a dipole. The rod is clamped at one end and is placed in a uniform electric field E with the axis of the dipole along the electric field. The rod is slightly tilted and then released. Neglecting gravity, find the time period of small oscillations.
Answer: Neglecting gravity, the dipole may be assumed as a pendulum and the force on the pendulum, F =qE as shown in the diagram.Diagram for Q-74
The length of this pendulum = a.
Mass of the bob = m, hence
acceleration =F/m =qE/m.
The time period of a pendulum is,
T =2π√(l/g), here, l → a, and g →qE/m
So here time period is,
T =2π√{a/(qE/m)}
=2π√(ma/qE).
75. Assume that each atom in a copper wire contributes one free electron. Estimate the number of free electrons in a copper wire having a mass of 6.4 g (take the atomic weight of copper to be 64 g/mol).
Answer: Number of moles of copper in the given wire =6.4/64 =0.10 mole.
Number of atoms in 1 mole =6.02x10²³
{Avogadro's number}
Number of atoms in the wire that have 0.10 mole =6.02x10²²
Since one atom contributes one free electron, hence 6.02x10²² atoms will contribute 6.02x10²² free electrons.
