When a glass rod is rubbed with silk, it becomes negativeyet both attract dust. Does the dust have a third type of charge that is attracted to both positive and negative? Explain.
A large charge +Q and a small charge q are a short distance apart. How do the electric forces on each charge compare? Is this comparison described by another physical law? (Hint: See Chapter 3.4.)
(a) Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsive force can be great enough to support the top piece’s weight. Assuming equal point charges (only an approximation), calculate the magnitude of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a mg piece of tape held 1.00 cm above another. (b) Discuss whether the magnitude of this charge is consistent with what is typical of static electricity.
Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
Why does a car always attract dust right after it is polished? (Note that car wax and car tires are insulators.)
Compare and contrast the Coulomb force field and the electric field. To do this, make a list of five properties for the Coulomb force field analogous to the five properties listed for electric field lines. Compare each item in your list of Coulomb force field properties with those of the electric field—are they the same or different? (For example, electric field lines cannot cross. Is the same true for Coulomb field lines?)
If you have charged an electroscope by contact with a positively charged object, describe how you could use it to determine the charge of other objects. Specifically, what would the leaves of the electroscope do if other charged objects were brought near its knob?
Integrated Concepts Figure 18.57 shows an electron passing between two charged metal plates that create an 100 N/C vertical electric field perpendicular to the electron's original horizontal velocity. (These can be used to change the electron’s direction, such as in an oscilloscope.) The initial speed of the electron is 3.00106 m/s, and the horizontal distance it travels in the uniform field is 4.00 cm. (a) What is its vertical deflection? (b) What is the vertical component of its final velocity? (c) At what angle does it exit? Neglect any edge effects.
An object with negative charge is placed in a region of space where the electric field is directed vertically upward. What is the direction of the electric force exerted on this charge? (a) It is up. (b) It is down. (c) There is no force. (d) The force can be in any direction.
Consider two electric dipoles in empty space. Each dipole has zero net charge. (a) Does an electric force exist between the dipoles; that is, can two objects with zero net charge exert electric forces on each other? (b) If so, is the force one of attraction or of repulsion?
Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
A test charge of +2C is placed halfway between a charge of +6 C and another of +4 /C separated by 10 cm. (a) What is the magnitude of the force on the test charge? (b) What is the direction of this force (away from or toward the +6 C charge)?
