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?)
A test charge of +2C is placed halfway between a charge of +6 C and another of +4 /C separated by 10 cm. (a) What is the magnitude of the force on the test charge? (b) What is the direction of this force (away from or toward the +6 C charge)?
Unreasonable Results 64. (a) Calculate the electric field strength near a 10.0 cm diameter conducting sphere that has 1.00 C of excess charge on it. (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible?
A particle having a positive charge of C experiences an upward force of 8 N when placed at a certain location in space. What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field at that point? What would be different about your answer if the particle possessed a negative charge of C?
Integrated Concepts An electron has an initial velocity of 5.00106m/s in a uniform 2.00105N/C strength electric field. the field accelerates the electron in the direction opposite to its initial velocity. (a) What is the direction of the electric field? (b) How far does the electron travel before coming to rest? (c) How long does it take the electron to come to rest? (d) What is the electron’s velocity when it returns to its starting point?
Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
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.
A large charge +Q and a small charge q are a short distance apart. How do the electric forces on each charge compare? Is this comparison described by another physical law? (Hint: See Chapter 3.4.)
A person is placed in a large, hollow, metallic sphere that is insulated from ground, (a) If a large charge is placed on the sphere, will the person be harmed upon touching the inside of the sphere? (b) Explain what will happen if the person also has an initial charge whose sign is opposite that of the charge on the sphere.
