Calculate the electric field due to a uniformly charged rod of length L, aligned with the x-axis with one end at the origin; at a point P on the z-axis.
In Figure 1, an insulating rod is bent into a semicircle of radius R. A charge -Q is uniformly distributed along its top half (for 0 < theta < pi/2) while a charge +Q is uniformly distributed along its bottom half (for -pi/2<theta< 0). Find the lectrostatic force in unit vector notation, acting on an electron with charge -e which is located at the origin O.
Two-point charges of +0.5μC and +1.0μC, separated by 0.5m in vacuum, lie on a line. Where should a point charge q (+0.8μC) be placed on the line, other than at infinity, such that it experiences zero net force? Is this a stable or unstable equilibrium?
A m=20\,\mathrm{g}m=20g mass with charge q=+8μC hangs from a spring of stiffness k=50N/m. If an infinite plane with charge density σ=+3μC/m2 is placed d=5cm below the masses original position, through what distance does the mass on the spring deflect in m? Ignore the sign of the deflection and answer with a positive number.
An (ideal) electric dipole of magnitude p = 1 × 10−6 C·m is placed ata distance a = 0.05 m away from the center of an uncharged, isolated spherical conductor of radiusR = 0.02 m. Suppose the angle formed by the dipole vector and the radial vector (the vector pointingfrom the sphere’s center to the dipole’s position) is θ = 20o. Find the (electrostatic) interaction energybetween the dipole and the charge induced on the spherical conductor
Three charges, all the same charge q, are surrounded by three spheres of equal radii Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the fluxes ϕ1, ϕ2, ϕ3 through the spheres. Explain.
Consider eight charges at the corners of a cube with side length a, and its axes parallel to the Cartesian coordinate axes, and its center at the origin, (0,0,0). a. If all eight charges have a value of q, evaluate the electric field along the x-axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to infinity. b. If the four charges where z= a/2 are +q and the other four are -q , evaluate the electric field along the x axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to infinity. c. Now consider having four +q and four -q charges, with each charge having its nearest neighbor have the opposite sign. Sketch this, evaluate the electric field along the x axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to inifinity.
A particle of mass 0.5 grams and charge 5.4 µC is projected with the speed of 20.76 m/s on a smooth horizontal surface. Determine the velocity of the particle 10 seconds later if the uniform electric field of 1051.07 N/C exists: along the initial velocity of the particle. exactly opposite to the initial velocity. perpendicular to initial velocity.
A +7.00 µC particle is located at x = 0.0 cm, and a –9.0 μC particle is located at x = 40.0 cm. Where must a positive test charge be placed along the x–axis so that the net electric force on it is zero? Hint: In a FBD, place the test charge left of x = 0 cm, in between the two source charges, and right of x = 40 cm. Sketch the direction and relative magnitude of the net force at each location and determine where it might be possible for the net force to be zero. Then set the magnitudes of the forces equal to each other.
Three identical point charges, each of mass m = 0.100 kg, hang from three strings as shownshown in the figure. If the lengths of the left and right strings are each L = 30.0 cmand the angle u is 45.0 °, determine the value of q.
a small, nonconducting ball of mass m = 1.2 mg and charge q = 1.5 × 10-8 C (distributed uniformly through its volume) hangs from an insulating thread that makes an angle θ = 30° with a vertical, uniformly charged nonconducting sheet (shown in cross section). Considering the gravitational force on the ball and assuming the sheet extends far vertically and into and out of the page, calculate the surface charge density σ of the sheet.
What is the force on the charge q at the lower-righthand corner of the square shown here?
