Warm Up Problem -2.0 C 30° 2.0 m Please find x- and y- components of the electric field at the given point, marked x, and the potential at that point
2
Annc. Next quiz on finding electric field and potential associated with 2 points. Will utilize symmetries. New hw to be posted. Review quiz 9 Reflection questions.
3
What about the potential associated with planes of charge? The (practical) assumption is that we have 2 planes of charge, each with opposite charge, but otherwise identical. The negative one we assume is at zero potential. Both sketch and calculate lines of equal potential.
4
What is the potential between the two planes? Remember that the E field is constant in the space between them.
5
Sketch the E field lines and equipotential lines associated with two planes of charge. ++++++++++++++++ --
6
Assume a charge density of +/- 0.1 C per meter squared on each plate. Also, assume the negatively charged plate is at a potential of zero. If the plates are separated by 0.1 mm, what would be the potential on the other plate?
7
More on the parallel plates In the process, find the strength of the electric field between the plates AND find the value of some of the equipotential lines.
8
Summary table electric fields and potential differences generated by each of the following Electric field (N/c or V/m)Potential (V) with respect to a location of zero potential Positive point charge positive line of charge not addressed (but addressable if needed!) Positive plane of charge
9
What if a charge of +0.01 C were placed between the plates? What force would it experience? If the charge happened to be resting on an object with a mass of 1 gram, what would be its acceleration?
10
What happens as you add more charge to each plate?
11
Introduce capacitance associated with two parallel plates.
