Find the energy emitted in the \(\beta^{-}\) decay of \({ }^{60} \mathrm{Co}\)
Text Transcription:
beta^-
^60 Co
Electric Fields ●Force per Unit charge (N / q) ●Electric field in a hollow sphere is 0 due to symmetry ●Moves from higher to lower potential ●E = kq / r or F / q Electric Dipoles ●A positively and negatively charged particle that are bound by the electric force and exert a torque on another ●Equilibrium : is reached when the dipole is parallel to the electric field vector ○Stable : when the dipole is parallel and the negative charge is closer to the electric field (0 degrees) ○Unstable : when the dipole is parallel and the positive charge is closer to the electric field (180 degrees) Electric Potential (Voltage) ●Voltage is “infinite” at a charge and cannot be measured ●Voltage in a hollow sphere is constant ●V = kq / r or U / q ●The gradient or del of V is equal to the electric field
