A particle of charge Q is fixed at the origin of an xy coordinatesystem. At t = 0 a particle (m = 0.800 g, q = 4.00 mC) is locatedon the x axis at x = 20.0 cm, moving with a speed of 50.0 m/sin the positive y direction. For what value of Q will the moving particleexecute circular motion? (Neglect the gravitational force onthe particle.)
A proton, mass 1.67 x 10-27 kg, is projected horizontally midway between two parallel plates thatare separated by 0.10 cm, with an electrical field with magnitude 470,000 N/C between the plates.If the plates are 2.90 cm long, find minimum speed of the proton that just misses the lower plate asit emerges from the field.
The electric field is zero everywhere except in the region 0≤x≤4.00 cm, where there is a uniform electric field of 110 N/C in the +y direction. A proton is moving in the +x direction with a speed of v = 1.00×10^6 m/s. When the proton passes through the region 0≤x≤4.00 cm, the electric field exerts a force on it. 1)When the x coordinate of the proton’s position is 4.00 cm, what is the x component of its velocity?

Two identical conducting spheres are touched together and separated to a distance of 0.0010 m. Before touching, Qa = 2.0 C and Qb = -4.0 C. What is the magnitude of the net force on sphere A?
Why is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1.00μg are floating in empty space, far from any external sources of large gravitational or electric fields, and at rest with respect to each other. Both particles carry electric charges that are identical in magnitude and sign. The gravitational and electric forces between the particles happen to have the same magnitude, so each particle experiences zero net force and the distance between the particles remains constant.
