How much power is required to operate the machine


A Van de Graaff machine has a dome of radius 2.0 m. A motor causes a charged insulating belt to travel continuously between grounded spikes at the bottom of the device and another set of spikes connected to the dome at the top. Charge is transferred through the upper spikes to the outer surface of the dome at a rate of 17 microCoulombs per second. How long does it take to charge the dome to 3.0 MV? How much power is required to operate the machine when the dome potential is 3.0 MV, assuming the rate of charge transfer remains constant?
