Aresearch van de graaff generator has a 2.10 m diameter metal sphere with a charge of 1.06 mc on it. (a) what is the electric potential on the surface of the sphere

9.09 × 10⁶  volts

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter, d = 2.10 m

              ⇒    

Charge, q = 1.06 mC = 1.06 × 10⁻³ C

Electric potential is the amount of work done in moving a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point inside electric field without producing an acceleration.

where

V is the electric potential in volt

k is the coulomb's constant 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q is the unit charge in Coulomb

r is radius of the sphere give in meter

                          ∴  

                               V = 9.085 × 10⁶  volts

                               V = 9.09 × 10⁶  volts  

not too sure thinking it will always be directed towards the centre of the earth. could be wrong not sure

with the invention of the automobile, the woman of the house could drive to the store and get groceries. women were also free to socialize more. during world war ii women were allowed to work in factories to the war effort and could drive to work or ride mass transit buses to their jobs.
