Would be able to help me answer this please? Consider a straight, non-conducting rod of length L that is charged such that its charge density increases linearly from zero at one end to a maximum λₒ at the other. Derive an expression for the total charge on the conductor in terms of L and λₒ. I know that the total charge density is equal to αx (α being a constant and x being a small amount of L), and that dq=λdx and that you integrate, but how am I meant to get it in terms of λₒ and L ???
(a) A spherical metal conductor (Q = 7.5C) is placed r = 0.9 m from an identical conductor with a different charge (q = 13.6 C). The two conductors are brought into contact and separated. What is the electric charge on either sphere after they have come into contact? Answer in SI units. (b) What is the magnitude of the initial electrical field (conductors in their initial configuration) at the midpoint between the two conductors? Answer in SI units and multiply your answer by 10^-11.
You are working as an intern for a meteorological laboratory. You are out in the field taking measurements with a device that measures electric fields. You measure the electric field in the air immediately above the Earth's surface to be 165 N/C directed downward. (Assume the radius of the Earth is 6.37 ✕ 106 m.) (A) Determine the surface charge density (in C/m2) on the ground. (B) Imagine the surface charge density is uniform over the planet. Determine the charge (in C) of the whole surface of the Earth. (C) Determine the Earth's electric potential (in V) due to the charge found in (b). (D) Determine the difference in potential (in V) between the head and the feet of a person 1.60 m tall. (Ignore any charges in the atmosphere.)
This question checks that you can use the formula of the electric field due to a long, thin wire with charge on it. The field due to an infinitely long, thin wire with linear charge E = 12X Απερ η density is Imagine a long, thin wire with a constant charge per unit length of -2.3×10 C/m. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a point 10 cm from the wire (assuming that the point is much closer to the wire's nearest point than to either of its ends)? Give your answer in units of kN/C. -7
The combustion of fossil fuels produces micron-sized particles of soot, one of the major components of air pollution. The terminal speeds of these particles are extremely small, so they remain suspended in air for very long periods of time. Furthermore, very small particles almost always acquire small amounts of charge from cosmic rays and various atmospheric effects, so their motion is influenced not only by gravity but also by the earth's weak electric field. Consider a small spherical particle of radius r, density ρ, and charge q. A small sphere moving with speed v experiences a drag force Fdrag=6πηrv, where η is the viscosity of the air. (This differs from the drag force you learned earlier in the book because there we considered macroscopic rather than microscopic objects.) Soot is primarily carbon, and carbon in the form of graphite has a density of 2200 kg/m3. In the absence of an electric field, what is the terminal speed in mm/smm/s of a 2.5 μmdiameter graphite particle? The…

A straight wire of length L has a positive charge Q distributed along its length. Set up the integral with limits and solve it to find the magnitude of the electric field due to the wire at a point located a distance d from one end of the wire along the line extending from the wire. Must show high level of detail in your logic. Must use the left end of the wire as your origin in the x axis. Answer must be in terms of L, d, Q, x, pi and Eo only.
