Prove that the field strength inside the Faraday cylinder far from its ends is zero. ??

Expert Solution

Let us assume that there exists some field inside the cylinder. According to symmetry that field must be radially outwards (or inwards). Now we apply the Gauss' law to the Gaussian surface shown in the figure.

as the charge inside the cylinder is zero.

Also note that at every point on the flat two surfaces on the given Gaussian surface, field is parallel to area and hence perpendicular to area vector. So flux through those two surfaces is zero. Also for any small area on the curved part of the Gaussian surface under consideration is perpendicular to the field and hence area vector is parallel to the field. So angle between area vector and field is 0⁰. Moreover at every point on the considered Gaussian surface, the magnitude of the field is same (again by symmetry). Hence we get:

But we already know that this integral must be zero (from 1).

Hence E = 0.

The canoe team from the previous problem wishes to prove that their compressive strength of 900 psi is indeed greater than the required 860 psi. To do so, they write out a number of hypotheses: A: Our concrete is stronger than required, μ > 860 B: Our compressive strength is great, μ = 900 C: Our concrete meets the requirement, μ = 860 D: Typical concrete is weaker than ours, μ < 900 Of these four potential hypotheses which should...

A proton is released from rest inside a region of constant, uniform electric field ?1 pointing due north. 34.8 s after it is released, the electric field instantaneously changes to a constant, uniform electric field ?2 pointing due south. 8.49 s after the field changes, the proton has returned to its starting point. What is the ratio of the magnitude of ?2 to the magnitude of ?1? You may neglect the effects of gravity on the proton.

What is the percentage price change for a zero coupon bond if its YTM changes from 3.9% to 4.6%? The bond's face value is $1,000 and it matures in 8 years. Use the price determined from the first yield, 3.9%, as the base in the percentage calculation. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent. (e.g., 4.32% = 4.3). [Hint: If the price dropped, enter a negative number].
