We have an infinitely long wire, again with linear charge density λ = 10 μC/m. We have a point charge, again with q = 75 μC. Point S is zS = 10 m away from the wire on the z-axis, point P is zP = 5 m away from the wire on the z-axis, and point T is yT = 5 m away from the wire on the y-axis. Remember that the electric field at a distance r away from a wire is E→wire = 2 kλrr^ Figure 2: Figure for Problems 3-5 3.

(Next two questions) We have an infinitely long wire of linear charge density 1 nC/m. You throw a ball with charge Q = −8 C and mass m = 2 kg away from the wire with initial velocity vi = 12 m/s. The ball is initially 4 meters away from the wire. 6. Change in potential 1 point After some time the ball's velocity decreases to 6 m/s, half its initial speed. What is the magnitude of the change in potential, in volts, from the initial position to this position of the ball? 7. Maximum distance 2 points What is the maximum distance the ball gets from the wire?

A Geiger counter detects radiation such as alpha particles by using the fact that the radiation ionizes the air along its path. A thin wire lies on the axis of a hollow metal cylinder and is insulated from it (Figure 1). A large potential difference is established between the wire and the outer cylinder, with the wire at higher potential; this sets up a strong electric field directed radially outward. When ionizing radiation enters the device, it ionizes a few air molecules. The free electrons produced are accelerated by the electric field toward the wire and, on the way there, ionize many more air molecules. Thus a current pulse is produced that can be detected by appropriate electronic circuitry and converted to an audible "click." Suppose the radius of the central wire is 145 μm and the radius of the hollow cylinder is 1.80 cm. Part A What potential difference between the wire and the cylinder produces an electric field of 2.00×104 V/m at a distance of 1.20 cm from the axis of the wire? (Assume that the wire and cylinder are both very long in comparison to their radii.) Submit Request Answer Figure 1 of 1
