The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that we can still apply Gauss's law to a Gaussian surface that is entirely within an insulator by replacing the right-hand side of Gauss's law, Qin/ε0, with Qin/ε , where ε is the permittivity of the material. (Technically, ε0 is called the vacuum permittivity.) Suppose a long, straight wire with linear charge density 250 nC/m is covered with insulation whose permittivity is 2.5ε0.

What is the electric field strength at a point inside the insulation that is 3.0 mm from the axis of the wire?

Amachinist needs to remove a tight fitting pin of material a from a hole in a block made of material b. the machinist heats both the pin and the block to the same high temperature and removes the pin easily. what statement relates the coefficient of thermal expansion of material a to that of material b? a) the situation is not possible, heating block b will shrink the hole in the material as the material expands with increasing temperatureb) material b has the same coefficient of expansion as does material ac) material b has a negative coefficient of expansion and a has a positive coefficient of expansiond) material a has a greater coefficient of expansion than does material be) material b has a greate

Ahowler monkey is the loudest land animal and, under some circumstances, can be heard up to a distance of 4.6 km. assume the acoustic output of a howler to be uniform in all directions and that the threshold of hearing is 1.0 × 10-12 w/m2. what is the acoustic power emitted by the howler
