    Q1

    Exercise Class 6

    Answers

    This configuration is equivalent to two capacitors in parallel. Let C1 be the capacitance of the section with the air gap and C2 be the capacitance of the section with the dielectric gap. For a parallel plate capacitor,

    C =

    0A d

    (done in lectures).

    Therefore

    C1 =

    0 b (a x ) d

    and

    C2 =

    0bx . d

    Diel ectr ic

    For two capacitors in parallel, C = C1 + C2 . Therefore C =

    0 b(a x ) 0 bx b[ a + x ( 1)] + = 0 d d d
    C= 0 b ( a + 3x ) . d

    Putting = 4 gives

    Therefore

    1 dC x= a . 3 0 b

    Q2

    (i)

    Voltage: Current:

    V(t) = V(1 - e-t/RC) I(t) = (V/R)e-t/RC

    = 5(1 - e-t/0.02) = (2.5 x 10-5 )e-t/0.02

    V A

    (ii)

    Q = CV, so the charge is equal to its 90% of its final value when V(t) is equal to 90% of its final value. The final value of V(t) is 5 V. Therefore, the required value of t is given by V(t) = 0.9(5) = 5(1 - e-t/0.02) t = 46.1 ms

    (iii)

    The stored energy is U = CV2 = 2.5 x 10-7 (1 - e-t/0.02)2 So U = 0.9U(final) (1 - e-t/0.02)2 = 0.9 t = 59.3 ms

    Q3

    Cable cross section

    /2

    a b c
    r < a: Inside the inner conductor, the electric field must be zero because all the charge is distributed over the surface. Therefore a Gaussian surface of radius r < a encloses no charge. So E(r) = 0 for r < a.

    a < r < b: Using a previous result modified to take into account the presence of the dielectric, we can write: E(r) = 2 0 r

    b < r < c: Similarly, for this region, E(r) = r > c:

    = 2 (/2)0r 0r

    A Gaussian cylinder of radius r > c will enclose no net charge because it contains C m-1 on the inner conductor and - C m-1 on the outer conductor. Therefore E(r) = 0 for r > c.

    To find the potential difference we integrate the electric field between r = a and r = c. Since we have two different regions with different formulas for E(r), we must split the integral into two parts. Relationship between V and E:
    V =

    E .d L

    Choose a radial path (along a field line), so d L is parallel to E and dL = dr. So,
    V =

    E d L =

    E d L l +

    E d L = 2 0

    1 dr + r 0

    1 dr r

    c2 V = Loge 2 0 ab

    V is positive because the inner conductor is clearly at a higher potential than the outer conductor: we would have to push a positive charge inwards from c to a. Let = 2, b = 2a, c = 3a V =

    Loge(9/2) = Loge(9/2) 4 0 4 0 4 0 . Loge(9/2)

    The charge on a 1-m length is , so putting C = Q/(V) gives C =
