प्रश्न
The radius of a gold nucleus (Z = 79) is about 7.0 × 10-10 m. Assume that the positive charge is distributed uniformly throughout the nuclear volume. Find the strength of the electric field at (a) the surface of the nucleus and (b) at the middle point of a radius. Remembering that gold is a conductor, is it justified to assume that the positive charge is uniformly distributed over the entire volume of the nucleus and does not come to the outer surface?
उत्तर
Given:
Atomic number of gold = 79
Charge on the gold nucleus, Q = 79 × (1.6 ×10-19) C The charge is distributed across the entire volume. So, using Gauss's Law, we get:
(a) `phi =oint vec"E". vec("d""s") = "Q"/∈_0`
`=> oint "E""d""s" = "Q"/∈_0`
The value of E is fixed for a particular radius.
`=> "E" oint "d""s" = "Q"/∈_0`
`=> "E" xx 4 pi "r"^2 ="Q"/∈_0`
`=> "E" ="Q"/(∈_0 xx 4 pi "r"^2)`
`"E" = ( 79 xx (1.6 xx 10^-19 ))/((8.85 xx 10^-12) xx 4 xx 3.14 xx ( 7 xx 10^-10)^2`
`"E" = 2.315131 xx 10^21 "N"//"C"`
(b) To find the electric field at the middle point of the radius:
Radius , `"r" = 7/2 xx 10^-10 m`
Volume, `"V" = 4/3 pi "r"^3`
`=4/3 xx 22/7 xx 343/8 xx 10^-30`
Net charge =79 ×1.6 ×10-19 C
Volume charge density
`= (79 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19)/(4/3pi xx 343 xx 10^-30) `
So, the charge enclosed by this imaginary sphere of radius r =3.5× 10 -10
`= (79 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19)/(4/3pi xx 343 xx 10^-30) xx 4/3 pi xx 343/8 xx 10^-30 `
`= (79 xx 1.6 xx 10^-19)/8`
`=> "E" = (79 x 1.6 xx 10^-19)/(8 xx4pi ∈_0."r"^2)` at r = 3.5× 10-10
= 1.16 × 1021 N/C.
As electric charge is given to a conductor, it gets distributed on its surface. But nucleons are bound by the strong force inside the nucleus. Thus, the nuclear charge does not come out and reside on the surface of the conductor. Thus, the charge can be assumed to be uniformly distributed in the entire volume of the nucleus.
