Two large parallel plates have been oppositelycharged. There is a uniform electric field E~present between the plates, as shown in the fig-ure. A proton, with mass mp, is released fromthe positive plate at the same moment as an elec-tron, with mass me, is released from the negativeplate. Ignore the force that the two charges exerton each other. What fraction of the way to thenegative plate has the proton moved by the timethe electron passes it?
Need help for electromagnetic theory question: E(r) [electric field] inside a spherical shell of radius R that carries uniform surface charge density is zero. Make an arguement based on pairing off elements of the charge distribution that confirms this result for r (vector) = 0 (the center of shell). PLEASE do include a sketch of the arguement showing that every arrow representing electric field on the shell is an equal-length arrow and how these pairs cancel each other out when added, resulting in a net electric field of zero.
Space vehicles traveling through Earth's radiation belts can intercept a significant number of electrons. The resulting charge buildup can damage electronic components and disrupt operations. Suppose a spherical metallic satellite 1.5 m in diameter accumulates 2.1μC of charge in one orbital revolution. (a) Find the resulting surface charge density. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field just outside the surface of the satellite, due to the surface charge.

The electric field along the axis of a uniformly charged disk of radius R and total charge Q was calculated the given example. Show that the electric field at distances x that are large compared with R approaches that of a particle with charge Q = σπR2. Suggestion: First show that x/(x2 + R2)1/2 = (1 +R2/x2)-1/2 and use the binomial expansion (1 + δ)n ≈ 1 + nδ, when δ << 1.
Nobel laureate Richard Feynman (1918–1988) once said that if two persons stood at arm’s 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-ofmagnitude calculation to substantiate this assertion.
1); When trying to figure out how much attractive or repulsive force exists between two objects we have to use Coulombs law which includes a constant. Why do we need to use the constant, how could you figure out what the constant is (actually figure it out, not look it up), and why is or isn't it a problem that the gravitational constant is so small while Coulombs constant is so big?
In this example, we will analyze the motion of an electron that is released in an electric field. The terminals of a 100 VV battery are connected to two large, parallel, horizontal plates 1.0 cmcm apart. The resulting charges on the plates produce an electric field in the region between the plates that is very nearly uniform and has magnitude E� = 3.0×104 N/C. Suppose the lower plate has positive charge, so that the electric field is vertically upward, as shown in (Figure 1). (The thin pink arrows represent the electric field.) If an electron is released from rest at the upper plate, what is its speed just before it reaches the lower plate? How much time is required for it to reach the lower plate? The mass of an electron is me=9.11×10−31kg. Please refer to the photos
Astronomers have recently discovered a new planet in a faraway solar system with a radius of roughly 395 km.395 km. Spectroscopic results indicate that the atmosphere, whose height is much smaller than the planet's radius, is largely argon, making the discovery truly controversial. Experts have deduced that argon is unlikely to be generated from the planet itself, therefore it is assumed that the argon in the atmosphere was created at the inception of the planet and is completely contained by its gravitational attraction. However, wide disagreement abounds about the composition of the planet. The surface of the planet is clearly composed of aluminum oxide, but some astronomers claim that this aluminum oxide is only a thin crust and that the planet is mostly iron. Given that the atmospheric temperature is 512 ∘C,512 ∘C, calculate the minimum density ?ρ of the planet so that its atmosphere could contain argon atoms. The molar mass of argon is 39.948 g/mol39.948 g/mol and the…

Two identical particles, each having charge +q, are fixed in space and separated by a distance d. A third particle with charge -Q is free to move and lies initially at rest on the perpendicular bisector of the two fixed charges a distance x from the midpoint between those charges (as shown). (a) Show that if x is small compared with d, the motion of -Q is simple harmonic along the perpendicular bisector. (b) Determine the period of that motion. (c) How fast will the charge -Q be moving when it is at the midpoint between the two fixed charges if initially it is released at a distance a << d from the midpoint?
