A SPARK PLUG IN AN AUTOMOBILE ENGINE CONSISTS OF TWO
METALCONDUCTORS THAT ARE SPARATED BY A DISTANCE OF 0.75MM. WHEN
ANELECTRIC SPARK JUMPS BETWEEN THEM, THE MAGNITUDE OF THE
ELECTRICFIELD IS 4.7 X 10 TO THE 7TH V/M. WHAT IS THE MAGNITUDE OF
THEPOTENTIAL DIFFERENCE (DELTA V) BETWEEN THE CONDUCTORS?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Electric potential, [tex]V=3.52\times 10^{12}\ volts[/tex]

Explanation:

It is given that,

The magnitude of electric field, [tex]E=4.7\times 10^7\ V/m[/tex]

Distance between automobile engines that consists of metal conductors, [tex]d = 0.75\ mm = 7.5\times 10^4\ m[/tex]

Let V is the magnitude of the potential difference between the conductors. The relation between the electric field and the electric potential is given by:

[tex]V=E\times d[/tex]

[tex]V=4.7\times 10^7\ V/m \times 7.5\times 10^4\ m[/tex]

[tex]V=3.52\times 10^{12}\ volts[/tex]

So, the magnitude of the potential difference between the conductors is [tex]3.52\times 10^{12}\ volts[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.
