Many textbooks claim Franklin decided that moving charged particles are positive. How would you correct this claim? Think about these questions in developing your answer: Did Franklins model include particles? What did the terms positive and negative mean to Franklin?
If a negatively charged particle is placed at point B in Figure 16.3 and given a very small kick to the right, what will its subsequent motion be? Will it (a) go to the right and not return, (b) go to the left, (c) remain at point B, or (d) oscillate around point B?
When wool is rubbed against amber, the wool becomes positively charged and the amber becomes negatively charged. If you rub a glass rod with a silk cloth and an amber rod with a wool cloth, are the rods attracted to or repelled by each other? Are the cloths attracted to or repelled by each other? Is the silk cloth attracted to the amber rod or repelled by the amber rod? Is the wool cloth attracted to the glass rod or repelled by the glass rod? Explain your answers.
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.
Bare free charges do not remain stationary when close together. To illustrate this, calculate the acceleration of two isolated protons separated by 2.00 nm (a typical distance between gas atoms). Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for electrostatics.
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.)
Answer each question yes or no. (a) Is it possible for each of three stationary charged particles to exert a force of attraction on the other two? (b) Is it possible for each of three stationary charged particles to repel both of the other particles? (c) Is it possible for each of three current-carrying metal wires to attract the other two wires? (d) Is it possible for each of three current-carrying metal wires to repel the other two wires? André-Marie Ampère’s experiments on electromagnetism are models of logical precision and included observation of the phenomena referred to in this question.

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.
Suppose someone tells you that rubbing quartz with cotton cloth produces a third kind of charge on the quartz. Describe what you might do to test this claim.
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.
