For dry air at a temperature of 0∘C and at 1 atm of pressure, electric breakdown occurs when the air is subjected to an electric field with amplitude above about 3.00 MV/m. A high-power laser is shone up into Earth's atmosphere, and the laser's associated electric field ionizes the air and turns it into a conducting plasma. Assume the conditions of the air are such that an electric field of 3.00 MV/m causes the air to ionize. (a) What will be the intensity (in W/m2) of a laser beam that can produce a field of this magnitude? W/m2 (b) Assuming the laser is operating at this maximum intensity, what is the power (in W) delivered in a cylindrical beam with a diameter of d = 4.55 mm? W

Q2-(25 pts) A variable resistor, R, whose value ranges from 0 to ∞ is connected between the terminals of a battery that has an emf ε = 18.0 V, and an internal resistance of 4.00 Ω. The ammeter and voltmeter are idealized meters. a) (8 pts.) As R varies over its full range of values, what will be the largest and smallest readings of the voltmeter and ammeter? Justify each answer with statement and/or direct calculation below. b) (8 pts.) The power dissipated at the variable resistor is 18.0 W. What can be the maximum reading on the voltmeter in this case? c) (9 pts.) Suppose we replace the variable resistor with a cylindrical wire of length 8.0 cm and cross section diameter 0.5 cm. The voltmeter reads 15.0 V. Calculate resistivity of the cylindrical wire, the magnitudes of the current density and the electric field through the wire. V18W = J = E = ρ =
