Adipole is oriented along the x axis. the dipole moment is p (= qs). (assume the center of the dipole is located at the origin with positive charge to the right and negative charge to the left.)

(b) what are the approximate values of v at the locations in part (a) if these locations are far from the dipole? (use the following as necessary: p, x, ε0, and r. it is convenient to use the "binomial expansion" that you may have learned in calculus, that (1 + ε)n ≈ 1 + nε if ε ≪ 1. note that n can be negative.)

v(x,0,0) ≈

v(0,y,0) ≈

(c) using the approximate results of part (b), calculate the gradient of the potential along the x axis. (use the following as necessary: p, ε0 and x.)

∂v
∂x
=
show that the negative gradient is equal to the x component ex of the electric field.

(d) along the y axis, dv/dy = 0. why isn't this equal to the magnitude of the electric field e along the y axis?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?
