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.) The initial speed of the electron is 3.00106 m/s, and the horizontal distance it travels in the uniform field is 4.00 cm. (a) What is its vertical deflection? (b) What is the vertical component of its final velocity? (c) At what angle does it exit? Neglect any edge effects.
Nobel laureate Richard Feynman (19181088) once said that if two persons stood at arms length from each other and each person had 1% more electrons than protons, the force of repulsion between them would be enough to lift a weight equal to that of the entire Earth. Carry out an order-of-magnitude calculation to substantiate this assertion.
What are the signs of the charges on the particles in Figure 22.46?
Consider two electric dipoles in empty space. Each dipole has zero net charge. (a) Does an electric force exist between the dipoles; that is, can two objects with zero net charge exert electric forces on each other? (b) If so, is the force one of attraction or of repulsion?
Compute the electric force acting between the electron and the proton in a hydrogen atom. The radius of the smallest orbit of the electron around the proton is about m.
Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
(a) Common transparent tape becomes charged when pulled from a dispenser. If one piece is placed above another, the repulsive force can be great enough to support the top piece’s weight. Assuming equal point charges (only an approximation), calculate the magnitude of the charge if electrostatic force is great enough to support the weight of a mg piece of tape held 1.00 cm above another. (b) Discuss whether the magnitude of this charge is consistent with what is typical of static electricity.
Integrated Concepts (a) A 0.140-kg baseball, pitched at 40.0 m/s horizontally and perpendicular to the Earth's horizontal 5.00105T field, has a 100-nC charge on it. What distance is it deflected from its path by the magnetic force, after traveling 30.0 m horizontally? (b) Would you suggest this as a secret technique for a pitcher to throw curve balls?
Integrated Concepts The classic Millikan oil drop experiment was the first to obtain an accurate measurement of the charge on an electron. In it, oil drops were suspended against the gravitational force by a vertical electric field. (See Figure 18.58.) Given the oil drop to be 1.00 m in radius and have a density of 920 kg/m3: Find the weight of the drop. (b) If the drop has a single excess electron, find the electric field strength needed to balance its weight.
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.)
Integrated Concepts A 5.00 g charged insulating ball hangs or a 30.0 cm long string in a uniform horizontal electric field as shown in Figure 18.56. Given the charge on the ball is 1,00 C, find the strength of the field.
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.
