Compute for the following. Round your answers into to 2 significant figures. 1. What is the charge of an object that has 3,000,000 excess electrons? 2. What is the charge of an object that has 5,000,000 electron deficits? 3. How many excess electrons are there in an object with a charge if -3.6 ×10^-17 C?
What is the magnitude of the electric field at a point midway between a -5.9 uC and a +8.2 uC charge 8.8 cm apart? Assume no other charges are nearby. Express your answer using two significant figures: E= (what value) in (what units)? What is the direction of the electric field? Toward the positive charge Toward the negative charge P.S. I know nothing about this but I have a good idea are some quick google help. I feel like I understand the concept but I want to verify the work before I'm able to help a friend with this problem. It would be helpful if you can list all the steps- I can reverse engineer with no issues.
Illustrate and solve: An electron is placed in a uniform electric field of 17 n N/C directed north created by two horizontal parallel plates that are 146 f m apart. The electron accelerates from rest, starting at the negative plate. What is the net force and acceleration acting on the electron? How long did it take the electron to get from one side of the plate to the other?
We have two uniformly charged parallel plates, as shown. Their widths are much larger than the separation between the plates. The magnitudes of the charges on each are equal. a, b, and c indicate the regions just above, in between, and just below the plates, respectively. Now let's suppose that the plates are squares with side length 2 cm, and that they have equal and opposite charges of magnitude 2.3 μC. What is the magnitude of the electric field in region b? For my answer I got 2.44*10-19 N/C which is way wrong
Answer the following. Show your complete solution by identifying the givenvariables, unknown , formula , solution, and final answer. 1. A point particle of charge 2.5 nC and mass 3.25x10-3 kg is in a uniform electric field directed tothe right. It is released from rest and moves to the right. After it has traveled 12.0 cm, its speedis 25 m/s. Find the (a) work done on the particle, (b) change in the electric potential energy ofthe particle, and (c) magnitude of the electric field.
I am having a hard time understanding why the solved answer on your site, for the following question, uses x-2 instead of x+2 for the -2q charge. I attached my work for part A as well as where I am confused at. Aren't I just supposed to solve for x at this point? The - seems to be throwing me off. Any explanation you can offer would be appreciated!
(i) A metallic coin is given a positive electric charge. Does its mass (a) increase measurably, (b) increase by an amount too small to measure directly, (c) remain unchanged, (d) decrease by an amount too small to measure directly, or (e) decrease measurably? (ii) Now the coin is given a negative electric charge. What happens to its mass? Choose from the same possibilities as in part (i).
solve it correctly please. I will rate accordingly with multiple votes. A point charge of 5.8 μC is placed at the origin (x1 = 0) of a coordinate system, and another charge of –2.3 μC is placed on the x-axis at x2 = 0.21 m. A) Where on the x-axis can the third charge be placed in meters so that the net force on it is zero? B) What if both charges are positive, that is, what if the second charge is 2.3μC?
Concept Check. Explain the following briefly. a) Suppose a region contains two positive and four negative charges. What will be the direction of electric flux as it passes through the surface? b) Can a charged particle be affected by its own electric field? Why?
An O2+ ion (16 amu) with a velocity of 5.6E+05 m/s enters perpendicularly to an electric field with strength 5.7E+04 N/C, as shown in figure below. The horizontal distance that the ion is in the electric field is 40 cm. How far vertically, in cm, is the ion when it exits the electric field? *Solve for time in the x-direction without acceleration and use in the opposite direction.
1. When you have two unlike charges in a line - where is the electric field the greatest? Is there ever a point where the field will be zero? Explain. 2. What happens to the electric field lines as you increase the magnitude of the charges? What does this imply about the electric field strength? Explain.
Would be able to help me answer this please? Consider a straight, non-conducting rod of length L that is charged such that its charge density increases linearly from zero at one end to a maximum λₒ at the other. Derive an expression for the total charge on the conductor in terms of L and λₒ. I know that the total charge density is equal to αx (α being a constant and x being a small amount of L), and that dq=λdx and that you integrate, but how am I meant to get it in terms of λₒ and L ???
