Rocket observations show that dust particles in Earths upper atmosphere are often electrically charged. (a) Find the distance separating two dust particles if each has a charge of +e and the Coulomb force between them has magnitude 1.00 1014 N. (b) Calculate the mass of one of the dust panicles if this Coulomb force would accelerate it at 4.50 108 m/s2. (In the upper atmosphere, effects from other nearby charges typically result in a small net force and acceleration.)
Suppose a woman carries an excess charge. To maintain her charged status can she he standing on just any pair of shoes? How would you discharge her? What are the consequences if she simply walks away?
(a) Using the symmetry of the arrangement, show that the electric field at the center of the square in figure 18.46 is zero if the charges on the four comers are exactly equal. (b) Show that this is also true for any combination of charges in which qa= qd and qa = qc

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 100 N/C. Compare the gravitational and electric forces on a small dust particle of mass 2.01015 g that carries a single electron charge. What is the acceleration (both magnitude and direction) of the dust particle?

If a negatively charged particle is placed at rest in an electric potential field that increases in the positive x-direction, will the panicle (a) accelerate in the positive x-direction, (b) accelerate in the negative x-direction, or (c) remain at rest?
This afternoon, you have a physics symposium class, and you are the presenter. You will be presenting a topic to physics majors and faculty. You have been so busy that you have not had time to prepare and you dont even have an idea for a topic. You are frantically reading your physics textbook looking for an idea. In your reading, you have learned that the Earth carries a charge on its surface of about 105 C, which results in electric fields in the atmosphere. This gets you very excited about a new theory. Suppose the Moon also carries a charge on the order of 105 C, with the opposite sign! Maybe the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is due to electrical attraction between the Moon and the Earth! Theres an idea for your symposium presentation! You quickly jot down a few notes and run off to your symposium. While you are speaking, you notice one of the professors doing some calculations on a scrap of paper. Uh-oh! He has just raised his hand with a question. Why are you embarrassed?
Consider a charge Q1(1+5.0C) fixed at a site with another charge Q2 (Charge +3.0C , mass 6.0g ) moving in die neighboring space, (a) Evaluate die potential energy of Q2 when it is 4.0 cm from Q1 (b) If Q2 starts from rest from a point 4.0 cm from Q1what will be its speed when it is 8.0 cm from Q1 ? (Note: Q1 is held fixed in its place.)
