Ahighly charged piece of metal (with uniform potential throughout) tends to spark at places where the radius of curvature is small, or at places where there are sharp points. the breakdown electric field strength for air is about 3 106 v/m. (a) it is possible to calculate the maximum possible potential (relative to infinity) in air of a metal sphere of 18 cm radius. first, what is the maximum charge you can put on this sphere? c for that amount of charge, what is the potential of the sphere relative to infinity? volts (b) next, calculate the maximum possible potential relative to infinity in air of a metal sphere of only 0.4 mm radius. what is the maximum charge you can put on this sphere? c for that amount of charge, what is the potential of the sphere relative to infinity? volts these results are related to the fact that if a piece of metal has a small radius of curvature, it will spark at relatively low potential relative to infinity.

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.1 m below the tank bottom which is a = 7.4 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute)
