    Electric field inside the bulb

    Electric field inside the bulb! There are 6.3e28 mobile electrons per cubic meter in tungsten. The cross-sectional area of the tungsten filament in bulb B1 is 0.01 mm2 (1 mm2 = 1e-6 m^2). The electron mobility in hot tungsten is 1.2e-4 (m/s)/(N/C). Calculate the magnitude of the electric field...

    How Close Must a Charged Pen Be to Pick Up Aluminium Foil?

    This is what I did? Ok this is what I did but don't know whether it is right or not: E = 1/(4 pi epslon) * Q/d^2 is the electric field of the pen I said that the aluminium foil works like a capacitor therefore: (qA)/epsilon - 1/(4 pi epslon) * Q/d^2 = 0 also Q=10 nanoC the...

    Calculate Nuclear Potential: Z Protons, Radius R

    Hi, I have a question I really need the answer to this immediately please please help me I am really stressed out: Question = A nucleus contains Z protons which on average are uniformly distributed throughout a tiny sphere of radius R. Find the potential (relative to infinity) at the center...
