A vacuum tube diode consists of concentric cylindrical electrodes, the negative cathode and the positive anode. Because of the accumulation of charge near the cathode, the electric potential between the electrodes is not a linear function of the position, even with planar geometry, but is given by V(x)=Cx4/3 where x is the distance from the cathode and C is a constant, characteristic of a particular diode and operating conditions. Assume that the distance between the cathode and anode is 14.0 mm and the potential difference between electrodes is 200 V

Determine the value of C

Obtain a formula for the electric field between the electrodes as a function of x.

Determine the magnitude of the force on an electron when the electron is halfway between the electrodes

Three-cylinder capacitor A capacitor consists of three concentric cylindrical shells with radii R, 2R, and 3R. The inner and outer shells are connected by a conducting wire, so they are at the same potential. The shells are initially neutral, and then some charge is transferred from the middle shell to the inner/outer shells. a) If the final charge per unit length on the middle shell is λ, what are the charges per unit length on the inner and outer shells?...
