AI Thread Summary
To solve the gold nugget net charge problem, first determine the mass of a gold atom and calculate the total number of gold atoms in a 1.0-gram nugget. Next, calculate the total number of electrons by multiplying the number of gold atoms by the atomic number of gold. After removing 1.0% of the electrons, the net charge can be found by considering the remaining electrons and the protons present. The discussion also briefly touches on calculating the electric field inside and outside a uniformly polarized cylinder, indicating a mathematical relationship for the external field.

1. Suppose a 1.0-g nugget of pure gold has zero net charge. What would be its net charge after it has 1.0% of its electrons removed?
please help! i don't know what to do

1. Find the mass of a gold atom from a table.
2. Obtain the number of gold atoms. i.e. (# of atoms) = 1.0g / (mass of a gold atom)
3. (# of electrons) = (# of gold atoms) x (atomic number of gold)

I guess this is enough for the hint?
 
after obtaining the electrons, i will get the 1% of electrons removed then ill add the electrons and protons to obtain the net charge? am i correct?
 
A very long cylinder of radius R, carries a uniform polarisationP perpendicular to it's axis.Find the electric field in side the cylinder. Show that the field outside the cylinder can be expressed in the form
E=Rsquared divided
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
