An electron feels four electric forces: The electron is 28.2mm [N] from a charge of negative 9.23x10^-14 C The electron is 43.8mm [E] from a charge of positive 9.23x10^-14 C The electron is 43.8mm [S] from a charge of negative 9.23x10^-14 C The electron is 28.2mm [W] from a charge of positive 9.23x10^-14 C Calculate the acceleration of the electron. Remember to include direction. The effects of gravity are negligible and can be ignored.

Review. A particle with a charge of 60.0 nC is placed at the center of a nonconducting spherical shell of inner radius 20.0 cm and outer radius 25.0 cm. The spherical shell carries charge with a uniform density of 1.33 C/m3. A proton moves in a circular orbit just outside the spherical shell. Calculate the speed of the proton.

You are working as an expert witness for an inventor. The inventor devised a system that allows an 85.0-kg human to hover above the ground at the surface of the Earth due to the repulsive force between a charge q applied to his body and the normal electric charge on the Earth. The normal charge on the Earth is such that the electric field is uniform from near the Earths surface, directed downward toward the surface, and is of magnitude 130 N/C at the location of the engineers experiments. Everything went well until the engineer tried a new experiment. He attempted to transfer the same amount of charge q to each of two experimental subjects standing next to each other, so they could hover and work close together on a task. The charged, hovering experimental subjects repelled each other and were injured as they flew away in opposite directions. Both experimental subjects are now suing the inventor for their injuries. The inventor is claiming that it is not his fault if the subjects find each other repulsive. To find out whether the inventor has a good defense, determine the initial acceleration of each subject if they are working 1.00 m apart.
Two charges Q1(1+2.00C) and Q2(+2.00C are placed symmetrically along the x-axis at x=3.00cm . Consider a charge Q3 of charge +4.00C and mass 10.0 mg moving along the y-axis. If Q3 starts from rest at y= 2.00 cm, what is its speed when it reaches y = 4.00 cm?
Review. From a large distance away, a particle of mass m1, and positive charge q1 is fired at speed in the positive x direction straight toward a second particle, originally stationary but free to move, with mass m2, and positive charge q2. Both particles are constrained to move only along the x axis. (a) At the instant of closest approach, both particles will be moving at the same velocity. Find this velocity, (b) Find the distance of closest approach. After the interaction, the particles will move far apart again. At this time, find the velocity of (c) the particle of mass m1, and (d) the particle of mass m2.

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.)
