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.
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?
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 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?
This afternoon, you have a physics symposium class, and you are the presenter. You will be presenting a topic to physics majors and faculty. You have been so busy that you have not had time to prepare and you dont even have an idea for a topic. You are frantically reading your physics textbook looking for an idea. In your reading, you have learned that the Earth carries a charge on its surface of about 105 C, which results in electric fields in the atmosphere. This gets you very excited about a new theory. Suppose the Moon also carries a charge on the order of 105 C, with the opposite sign! Maybe the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is due to electrical attraction between the Moon and the Earth! Theres an idea for your symposium presentation! You quickly jot down a few notes and run off to your symposium. While you are speaking, you notice one of the professors doing some calculations on a scrap of paper. Uh-oh! He has just raised his hand with a question. Why are you embarrassed?
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.
Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
Study Figure 23.3 and the accompanying text discussion of charging by induction. When the grounding wire is touched to the rightmost point on the sphere in Figure 23.3c, electrons are drained away from the sphere to leave the sphere positively charged. Suppose the grounding wire is touched to the leftmost point on the sphere instead. (a) Will electrons still drain away, moving closer to the negatively charged rod as they do so? (b) What kind of charge, if any, remains on the sphere?
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.
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.
An electron is accelerated by a constant electric field of magnitude 300 N/C. (a) Find the acceleration of the electron. (b) Use the equations of motion with constant acceleration to find the electrons speed after 1.00 108 s, assuming it starts from rest
An object with negative charge is placed in a region of space where the electric field is directed vertically upward. What is the direction of the electric force exerted on this charge? (a) It is up. (b) It is down. (c) There is no force. (d) The force can be in any direction.
