Q. The ends of the cylinder are made of conducting discs
and the space between these discs are filled with an
inhomogeneous ohmic medium whose conductivity
o = L/(z+1). Where L is the separation distance of the
discs. A d-c voltage Vo is applied across the discs as shown
on the right. Determine
V.
a) The total resistance between the discs
b) The surface charge densities on the discs
c) The volume charge density and the total amount
of charge between the discs
Q/ answer by true or false:
1.The polarization in dielectric material
can generate accumulation of bound
charges.
2. The number of lines drawn leaving a
positive charge or approaching a negative
charge is inversely proportional to the
magnitude of the charge.
3. The electric susceptible of the medium
unit is N.C/m
4.The dielectric constant is
dimensionless.
Suppose you have two parallel conducting plates that are separated by 2.2 mm.
a. What will the electric field strength between the plates be (in N/C) if they have a potential difference of 4.6 × 103 V?
E =
b. The electric breakdown strength for a particular medium, also called the dielectric strength, is the point at which electrons bound to the molecules of the medium begin to be stripped off due to the large electric field. How close together must the plates be with this applied voltage in order to achieve breakdown strength for air (3.0 × 106 V/m) in mm?
