In Figure 1, an insulating rod is bent into a semicircle of radius R. A charge -Q is uniformly distributed along its top half (for 0 < theta < pi/2) while a charge +Q is uniformly distributed along its bottom half (for -pi/2<theta< 0). Find the lectrostatic force in unit vector notation, acting on an electron with charge -e which is located at the origin O.
Consider eight charges at the corners of a cube with side length a, and its axes parallel to the Cartesian coordinate axes, and its center at the origin, (0,0,0). a. If all eight charges have a value of q, evaluate the electric field along the x-axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to infinity. b. If the four charges where z= a/2 are +q and the other four are -q , evaluate the electric field along the x axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to infinity. c. Now consider having four +q and four -q charges, with each charge having its nearest neighbor have the opposite sign. Sketch this, evaluate the electric field along the x axis, and explain its behavior as x goes to inifinity.
This equation is for the electric field of a uniform ring which is charged and is at point z which is perpendicular to the center of the ring. (it means z=0 is part of the plane in which the ring is in). R=radius of ring, Q= total charge of ring, k= coulomb's constant. If k=1 units, Q=1 units, R=8 units, what is Ering, z when z=6 units?
Long line is carrying a uniform charge density λ=9μC/m that is 20.0 cm above a large surface with uniform charge density σ=2.3mC/m2. At what perpendicular distances s (in cm) from the line charge would an α particle (moving parallel to the line) feel no force?
Early in the 20th century, a leading model of the structure of the atom was that of English physicist J. J. Thomson (the discoverer of the electron). In Thomson’s model, an atom consisted of a sphere of positively charged material in which were embedded negatively charged electrons, like chocolate chips in a ball of cookie dough. Consider such an atom consisting of one electron with mass m and charge -e, which may be regarded as a point charge, and a uniformly charged sphere of charge +e and radius R. By that time time, it was known that excited atoms emit light waves of only certain frequencies. In his model, the frequency of emitted light is the same as the oscillation frequency of the electron (s) problems in the atom. What radius (in millimeter) would a Thomson-model atom need for it to produce red light of frequency 4.57 x 1014 Hz? (Don't express your answer in scientific notation)
Two infinite line charges with uniform linear charge densities λ1 >0 and λ2 < 0, are oriented parallel to the z-axis; see figure below.
