(Solved): A thin spherical shell made of plastic carries a uniformly distributed negative charge 5e10 c ...
A thin spherical shell made of plastic carries a uniformly distributed negative charge ?5e?10 coulombs (indicated as ?Q1? in the diagram). Two large thin disks made of glass carry uniformly distributed positive and negative charges 1.3e?05 coulombs and ?1.3 e-05 coulombs (indicated as +Q2? and ?Q2? in the figure). The radius R1? of the plastic spherical shell is 8 mm, and the radius R2? of the glass disks is 4 meters. The distance d from the center of the spherical shell to the positive disk is 17mm. (a) Find the potential difference V1??V2?. Point 1 is at the center of the plastic sphere, and point 2 is just outside the sphere. volts (b) Find the potential difference V2?=V3?. Point 2 is just below the sphere, and point 3 is right beside the positive glass disk. voits Remember that the sign of the potential difference is important.
