with mass m, is placed on the x-axis away from the origin at a coordinate x such that |x| << a. The charge q, which is
free to move along the x-axis, is then released. (a) Find the frequency of oscillation of the charge q. (Hint: Review

+ ..., valid for the case |x| < 1.) (b) Suppose instead that the charge q were placed on the y-axis at a coordinate y
such that |y| << a, and then released. If this charge is free to move anywhere in the xy-plane, what will happen to it?

25.77(83). The Tolman-Stewart experiment in 1916 demonstrated that the free charges in a metal have negative
charge and provided a quantitative measurement of their charge-to-mass ratio,|q|/m. The experiment consisted
of abruptly stopping a rapidly rotating spool of wire and measuring the potential di fference that this produced
between the ends of the wire. In a simplified model of this experiment, consider a metal rod of length L that is
given a uniform acceleration a to the right. Initially the free charges in the metal lag behind the rod’s motion, thus
setting up an electric field E in the rod. In the steady state this field exerts a force on the free charges that makes
them accelerate along with the rod. (a) Apply ΣF = ma to the free charges to obtain an expression for |q|/m in terms
of the magnitudes of the induced electric field E and the accelemtion a. (b) If all the free charges in the metal rod
have the same acceleration, the electric field E is the same at all points in the rod. Use this fact to rewrite the
expression for |q|/m in terms of the potential V be between the ends of the rod (Fig. below). (c) If the free charges
have negative charge, which end of the rod, b or c, is at higher potential? (d) If the rod is 0.50 m long and the free
charges are electrons (charge q = -1.60x10-19 C, mass 9.11x10-31 kg), what magnitude of acceleration is required
to produce a potential difference of 1.0 mV between the ends of the rod? (e) Discuss why the actual
experiment used a rotating spool of thin wire rather than a moving bar as in our simplified analysis.

different gases. (In the special case of a = b = 0, this is the ideal-gas equation). (a) Calculate the work done by
a gas with this equation of state in an isothermal expansion from V1 to V2 . Show that your answer agrees with
the ideal-gas result found in Example 19.1 (Section 19.2) when you set a = b = 0. (b) For ethane gas (C2H6), a =
0.554 J.m3/mol2 and b = 6.38 x l0-5 m3/mol. Calculate the work W done by 1.80 mol of ethane when it expands
from 2.00 x 10-3 m3 to 4.00 x 10-3 m3 at a constant temperature of 300 K. Do the calculation using (i) the van
der Waals equation of state and (ii) the ideal-gas equation of state. (c) How large is the difference between the
two results for W in part (b)? For which equation of state is W larger? Use the interpretation of the terms a
and b given in Section 18.1 to explain why this should be so. Are the diffferences between the two equations
of state important in this case?
20.41(42). Heat Pump. Aheat pump is a heat engine run in reverse. In winter it pumps heat from the cold air outside
into the warmer air inside the building, maintaining the building at a comfortable temperature. In summer it
pumps heat from the cooler air inside the building to the warmer air outside, acting as an air conditioner. (a) If
the outside temperature in winter is -5.00 C and the inside temperature is 170 C, how many joules of heat will the
heat pump deliver to the inside for each joule of electrical energy used to run the unit, assuming an ideal Carnot
cycle? (b) Suppose you have the option of using electrical resistance heating rather than a heat pump. How much
electrical energy would you need in order to deliver the same amount of heat to the inside of the house as in part
(a)? Consider a Carnot heat pump delivering heat to the inside of a house to maintain it at 680 F. Show that the
heat pump delivers less heat for each joule of electrical energy used to operate the unit as the outside temperature
decreases. Notice that this behavior is opposite to the dependence of the ef ciency of a Carnot heatengine on the
difference in the reservoir temperatures. Explainwhy this is so.
20.43(44). Heat Pump. As a budding mechanical engineer, you are called upon to design a Carnot engine that has 2.00
mol of a monatomic ideal gas as its working substance and operates from a high-temperature reservoir at 5000 C.
The engine is to lift a 15.0-kg weight 2.00 m per cycle, using 500 J of heat input. The gas in the engine chamber
can have a minimum volume of 5.00 L during the cycle. (a) Draw a pV-diagram for this cycle. Show in your
diagram where heat enters and leaves the gas. (b) What must be the temperature of the cold reservoir? (c) What is
the thermal ef ciency of the engine? (d) How much heat energy does this engine waste per cycle? (e) What is the
maximum pressure that the gas chamber will have to withstand?

20.61(62). To heat 1 cup of water (250 cm3) to make coffee, you place an electric heating element in the cup. As the
water temperature increases from 20°C to 78°C, the temperature of the heating element remains at a constant
120°C. Calculate the change in entropy of (a) the water; (b) the heating element; (c) the system of water and heat-
ing element. (Make the same assumption about the speci c heat of water as in Example 20.10 in Section 20.7, and
ignore the heat that ows into the ceramic coffee cup itself.) (d) Is this process reversible or irreversible? Explain.
