In a Millikan Experiment simulation, a group of students were able to bring a sphere to rest when the following data was obtained: Potential Difference was V = 13.07 x 103 volts: mass of the sphere was m = 8.00 x 10-14 kg: distance between plates was d = .016 m.
a) Based on this data how many coulombs of excess charge was on the sphere?
b) Based on this data the number of excess elementary charges on the sphere was?

Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
