Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

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?)

(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?
Integrated Concepts The practical limit to an electric field in air is about 3.001061 N/C. Above this strength, sparking takes place because air begins to ionize and charges flow, reducing the field, (a) Calculate the distance a free proton must travel in this field to reach 3,00% of the speed of light, starting from rest, (b) Is this practical in air, or must it occur in a vacuum?

(d) What is the electron’s velocity when it returns to its starting point?
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?
A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 18.55, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to continue moving. (a) Calculate the acceleration of the electorn if the field strength is 2.50104 N/C. (b) Explain why the electron will not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole.
