Uless otherwse dcated, the amout beg spread amog parts (a,b,c etc) are equal. Be sure to show all your work. Use the back of the pages f ecessary.
Questo 1. (10 pots) Descrbe the moto of a proto after t s released from rest a uform electrc feld: (a) How does ts ketcs eergy chage (crease, decrease or stay the same)? (b) How does the potetal eergy of the proto-feld chage f at all? (c) Descrbe the dfferece electrc potetal (Vf V) betwee the tal ad fal postos of the proto (s t zero, postve, or egatve)? How do the aswers to all of these questos chage f a electro s released stead of a proto (d) Ketc eergy, (e) potetal eergy, ad (f) electrc potetal? Soluto (a) It s ketc eergy creases due to the accelerato from the force of the electrc feld. (b) The potetal eergy must decrease due to coservato of mechacal eergy. Ths s lke droppg a mass the earth s gravtatoal feld. (c) The dfferece s electrc potetal s egatve. The accelerato s the drecto of the electrc feld sce the force o the proto s ths drecto. The electrc feld pots drecto gog from hgh to low potetal. Also, f V E. ds E. s. The agle betwee the dsplacemet vector ad the electrc feld s zero degrees so Vf V s egatve. (d) The electro just goes the opposte drecto. Ketc eergy stll creases. (e) The potetal eergy decreases. (f) Now the dsplacemet s the opposte drecto of the electrc feld. Vf V s postve.
Questo. (10 pots) Two capactors wth capactaces C1 = F ad C = 4 F are coected parallel to a 1 V battery. (a) What s the rato of the voltages o each capactor, V1/V? (b) What s the rato of charges o each capactor, Q1/Q? (c) What s the rato of the eergy stored each capactor, U1/U? Now the capactors are coected seres to the 1 V battery. (d) What s the rato of the voltages o each capactor, V1/V? (e) What s the rato of charges o each capactor, Q1/Q? (f) What s the rato of the eergy stored each capactor, U1/U? Soluto. (a) The rato s 1. Parallel devces have the same voltages across them. (b) Q1/Q = C1V/CV = C1/C = 0.5. (c) U1/U = (½C1V )/ (½CV ) = C1/C = 0.5. (d) V1/V = (Q/C1)/(Q/C) = C/C1 =. (e) Q1/Q = 1. Seres capactors have the same charge o them. (f) U1/U = (Q /C1)/(Q /C) = C/C1 =.
Questo 3. (10 pots) Cosder the crcut below whch there are 3 detcal lght bulbs, labeled A, B, C. I aswerg each questo, clude a explaato. A C B (a) How does the brghtess of B compare to that of C? Brghtess goes as the power whch we ca wrte as I R. Both bulbs have the same resstace ad the same curret sce they are seres, so the brghtess s the same. (b) How does the brghtess of A compare to that of B? We ca also express the power as V /R. The etre emf s across bulb A but ths same emf s splt betwee B ad C. Thus, A s brghter tha B. (c) Whe A s uscrewed, what happes to the brghtess of bulbs B, C? Nothg happes to the brghtess of B ad C as these are parallel wth bulb A (lke your house), so bulbs B ad C stll have the same voltage across them. (d) Whe B s uscrewed, what happes to the brghtess of bulbs A ad C? Nothg happes to the brghtess of A as t s parallel. Bulb C goes out as the resstace that brach of the crcut goes to fty. -------- (e) If a capactor were seres wth bulb A (see fgure below), how does the brghtess of A mmedately whe the swtch s closed compare to whe t has bee closed for a very log tme? Whe the swtch s closed, there s o charge yet the capactor ad curret flow through t as f t were a wre. After a certa amout of tme, the capactor s fully charged ad o curret flows through t. Thus, Bulb A s brghtest mmedately after the swtch s closed ad the dms to othg as tme goes o. (f) I ths same crcut, how does the brghtess of B mmedately whe the swtch s closed compare to whe t has bee closed for a very log tme (assume a tugste flamet wth a postve temperature coeffcet of resstace, )? The voltage across B s costat oce the swtch s closed. Its resstace creases over tme due to heatg. Thus, the P=V /R decreases over tme, ad t s brghtest mmedately upo closg the swtch. C A B
Problem 1. (15 pots) Cosder the system of two charges +q alog the y-axs show the Fgure below (gore the presece of the charge Q for ow). Let q = C ad let d = 8 m. (a) Calculate the electrc potetal at a pot o the x-axs a dstace x = 3 m from the org, due to the two C charges. (b) Calculate the electrc potetal at the org. (c) Now let the magtude of the egatve charge Q = 3mC whch has a mass of Kg be released from rest from the pot alog the x-axs at x = 3 m. What would the speed of the charge be at the org? Solutos 1 q (a) V V = 9 10 9 (/5 + /5) V 1 40 1 r = 7. 10 9 V. The dstace of 5 m was obtaed usg the pythogorea theorem. 1 q (b) V V = 9 10 9 (/4 + /4) V 1 40 1 r = 9 10 9 V (c) Uf + Kf = U +K. K = 0 sce t s released from rest. So we have U = -Kf qv = -½ mv (-0.003)(1.8 10 9 ) = - v v =.3 10 3 m/s
Problem. (15 pots) Cosder the crcut below, (a) What s the equvalet capactace of the four capactors? (b) Fd the charge o each of the four capactors. (c) Fd the voltage across each of the four capactors. Soluto
Problem 3. (15 pots) Cosder the crcut below. (a) Determe f there are ay resstors seres or parallel. (b) Use Krchoff s frst law appled at pot c to obta oe equato relatg the three currets, I1, I, ad I3. (c) Apply Krchoff s loop rule to the top loop to obta a equato relatg I1 ad I. (d) Apply Krchoff s loop rule to the top loop to obta a equato relatg I1 ad I3. (e) Gve that I1 = A, fd the other two currets. Solutos (a) Noe of the resstors here are seres or parallel. (b) I1 + I = I3. (c) -14+6*I1-10-4*I = 0. -4 +6*I1 4*I = 0 (d) 10-6*I1-*I3 = 0. (e) Takg the last equato we got, we have 10-1= *I3 I3 = -1 A Now takg the jucto rule equato, we have I = I3 I1 = -1- = -3A So I ad I3 are actually gog the opposte drecto as orgally guessed.
