Particle in electric field of an sphere, external

Concept

>Top


In the case of a spherical Gaussian surface, the electric field ($\vec{E}$) is constant in the direction of the versor normal to the section ($\hat{n}$). Therefore, using the charge ($Q$), the electric field constant ($\epsilon_0$), and the dielectric constant ($\epsilon$), it can be calculated by integrating over the surface where the electric field is constant ($dS$):

$\displaystyle\int_S\vec{E}\cdot\hat{n}\,dS=\displaystyle\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0\epsilon}$



Since the surface area of the surface of a sphere ($S$) is equal to the pi ($\pi$) and the disc radius ($r$), we have:

$ S = 4 \pi r ^2$



what is shown in the graph



Outside the sphere, the electric field, sphere, outer ($E_e$) with the pi ($\pi$), the charge ($Q$), the electric field constant ($\epsilon_0$), the dielectric constant ($\epsilon$), and the distance between charges ($r$) is equal to:

$ E_e=\displaystyle\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\displaystyle\frac{ Q }{ r_2 ^2 }$



While in the case of an insulating sphere, the electric field, sphere, interior ($E_i$) with the sphere radius ($R$) is:

$ E_i =\displaystyle\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\displaystyle\frac{ Q r_1 }{ R ^3 }$



If the sphere is conductive, the charges will distribute over the surface, and the electric field, sphere, interior ($E_i$) will be zero.

As the potential difference is the reference electrical, sphere, outer ($\varphi_e$) with the electric field, sphere, outer ($E_e$), the electric field, sphere, interior ($E_i$), the sphere radius ($R$), and the radius ($r$), we get:

$ \varphi_e = - \displaystyle\int_0^ R du\, E_i - \displaystyle\int_ R ^ r du\, E_e $



Given that the electric field, sphere, outer ($E_e$) with the pi ($\pi$), the charge ($Q$), the electric field constant ($\epsilon_0$), the dielectric constant ($\epsilon$), and the distance between charges ($r$) is equal to:

$ E_e=\displaystyle\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\displaystyle\frac{ Q }{ r_2 ^2 }$



and that the electric field, sphere, interior ($E_i$) with the internal radius ($r_i$) is equal to:

$ E_i =\displaystyle\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\displaystyle\frac{ Q r_1 }{ R ^3 }$



In spherical coordinates, we have:

$\varphi_e = -\displaystyle\int_0^R du \displaystyle\frac{ Q u }{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon R ^3 } -\displaystyle\int_R^r du \displaystyle\frac{ Q }{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon u ^2 }= -\displaystyle\frac{ 1 }{ 4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\displaystyle\frac{ Q }{ r }$



Therefore, the reference electrical, sphere, outer ($\varphi_e$) results in:

$ \varphi_2 = -\displaystyle\frac{ 1 }{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\displaystyle\frac{ Q }{ r_2 } $



As illustrated in the following graph:



the field at two points must have the same energy. Therefore, the variables the charge ($Q$), the particle mass ($m$), the speed 1 ($v_1$), the speed 2 ($v_2$), and the electric potential 1 ($\varphi_1$) according to the equation:



and the electric potential 2 ($\varphi_2$), according to the equation:



must satisfy the following relationship:

$ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} m v_1 ^2 + q \varphi_1 = \displaystyle\frac{1}{2} m v_2 ^2 + q \varphi_2 $

Considering a spherical Gaussian surface, the electric field is constant. Therefore, the electric eield ($E$) is equal to the charge ($Q$), the electric field constant ($\epsilon_0$), the dielectric constant ($\epsilon$), and the surface of the conductor ($S$) as shown by:

$ E S = \displaystyle\frac{ Q }{ \epsilon_0 \epsilon }$



Since the surface area of the surface of a sphere ($S$) is equal to the pi ($\pi$) and the disc radius ($r$), we have:

$ S = 4 \pi r ^2$



The charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface, with the encapsulated charge on Gauss surface ($q$), the sphere radius ($R$), and the distance between charges ($r$), is given by:

$ q =\displaystyle\frac{ r ^3}{ R ^3} Q $



Therefore, the electric field, sphere, interior ($E_i$) results in:

$ E_i =\displaystyle\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 \epsilon }\displaystyle\frac{ Q r }{ R ^3 }$
