AP C Gauss’ Law 26 A scientist describes an electrically neutral atom with a model that consists of nucleus that is a point particle with positive charge +Q at the center of the atom and an electron volume charge density of the form 𝛽 −𝑟/𝛼 , 𝜌(𝑟) = {− 𝑟 2 𝑒 0, 𝑟<𝛼 𝑟>𝛼 where α and β are positive constants and r is the distance from the center of the atom. a. On the axes below, let r represent the radius of the Gaussian sphere. Sketch the graph for each of the following charges enclosed by the Gaussian sphere as a function of r. Explicitly label any intercepts, asymptotes, maxima or minima with numerical values or algebraic expressions as appropriate. i. The nuclear charge only q +Q r α −Q ii. The electron charge only. q +Q r α −Q (more down yonder) b. The dashed curve on the graph below represents the electric field as a function of distance r due to the positive nucleus of the atom without any electrons. The nucleus is modeled as a point particle of the charge +Q. On the same graph, sketch the electric field as a function of distance r for the neutral atom as defined by the scientist’s model, which includes the nucleus and the negative electrons surrounding it. E r α c. Use Gauss’ Law to derive an expression for the electric field strength due to the neutral atom for the following positions in terms of Q, α, β, r, and fundamental constants, as appropriate. i. r > α (Ans. ?) 𝑟 1 ii. r < α (Ans. 𝐸 = 4𝜋𝜖 𝑜 𝑟2 [𝑞 − 4𝜋𝛼𝛽(𝑒 −𝛼 − 1)] d. Based upon the model proposed by the scientist, what is the physical meaning of the constant α?
