Problem 23.37<br />

Description: A potential difference of V is established between parallel plates in air. (a) If the air becomes electrically conducting when the electric field<br />

exceeds E, what is the minimum separation of the plates? (b) When the separation has the minimum value...<br />

A potential difference of 5.05 kV is established between parallel plates in air.<br />

Part A<br />

If the air becomes electrically conducting when the electric field exceeds 2.90×10 6 V/m , what is the minimum separation of the plates?<br />

ANSWER:<br />

= 1.74×10 −3 m<br />

Part B<br />

When the separation has the minimum value calculated in part (a), what is the surface charge density on each plate?<br />

Use 8.85×10 −12 F/m for the permittivity of free space.<br />

ANSWER:<br />

= 2.57×10 −5<br />

C/m 2 V(x,y,z) = Axy − B + Cy<br />

Also accepted: = 1.32×10 5 , = 9.87×10 4<br />

Exercise 23.47<br />

Description: In a certain region of space, the electric potential is V( (x, y, z) ) = Axy - Bx^2 + Cy, where A, B, and C are positive constants. (a)<br />

Calculate the x-component of the electric field. (b) Calculate the y-component of the electric field. (c)...<br />

In a certain region of space, the electric potential is x 2 , where A, B, and C are positive constants.<br />

Part A<br />

Calculate the x-component of the electric field.<br />

Express your answer in terms of the given quantities.<br />

ANSWER:<br />

E x =
