The diagram below depicts a cross section of coaxial conductor with an inner wire of diameter di and an outer conducting sheath of inside diameter do, and some material placed in the space between the two wires.

If there is a potential of 1 kV between the wires, how much energy is stored in a 10 m piece of cable? For my answer I got 5.32 J which was wrong.
In the early 1900's Robert Millikan discovered the peculiar property that charge came in little packets, no smaller than e = 1.602 x 10-19 C -- he had measured the charge of the electron. Here's (roughly) how he did it. He removed an electron from an initially neutral droplet of oil with diameter 0.5 ??μm. In a vacuum, he positioned the droplet between two metallic plates separated by 6 mm and fiddled with the potential (voltage) across the plates until the droplet would hover against the force of gravity. Droplets of this size with +e charge would hover, but only for a particular voltage (otherwise they would sink or rise). Given the parameters stated here, and the fact that the density of the oil was 831 kg/m3, what was the voltage that made the droplets hover? (give your answer with 0.1 V precision)

An electron flies into a parallel plate capacitor with length L=10cm and width d=2cm, with an electric field E=1000kV/cm (see the Fig.). 1. What should the maximum velocity be for the particle to be trapped, i.e., hit capacitor plates? [electron mass -mp= 9.1 × 10-31kg, its charge is q= −1.6 × 10−19C, the electric force is found as ? = ??]. Assume that electron flies right in the middle of a capacitor. 2. Find and plot its trajectory for this case (that is, case of maximum velocity).
