A microscopic spherical dust particle of radius 2m and mass 10g is moving in outer space at a constant speed of 30 cm/sec. A wave of light strikes it from the opposite direction of its motion and gets absorbed. Assuming the particle decelerates uniformly to zero speed in one second, what is the average electric field amplitude in the light?
You are a coach for the Physics Olympics team participating in a competition overseas. You are given the following sample problem to present to your team of students, which you need to solve very quickly: A person is standing on the midline of a soccer field. At one end of the field, as shown in Figure P24.28, is a letter D, consisting of a semicircular metallic ring of radius R and a long straight metal rod of length 2R, the diameter of the ring. The plane of the ring is perpendicular to the ground and perpendicular to the midline of the field shown by the broken line in Figure P24.28. Because of an approaching lightning storm, the semicircular ring and the rod become charged. The ring and the rod each attain a charge Q. What is the electric potential at point P, which is at a position x along the midline of the field, measured from the center of the rod, due to the letter D? Think quickly and use all resources available to you, which include your physics textbook: yon are in competition! Figure P24.28

A "laser cannon" of a spacecraft has a beam of cross-sectional area A. The maximum electric field in the beam is 2E. The beam is aimed at an asteroid that is initially moving in the direction of the spacecraft. What is the acceleration of the asteroid relative to the spacecraft if the laser beam strikes the asteroid perpendicularly to its surface, and the surface is nonreflecting? The mass of the asteroid is m. Neglect the acceleration of the spacecraft. (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: ε0)

Please explain and answer in complete sentences and give examples. We have discussed the case where atoms and materials are polarized in response to an electric field. This gives rise to another field produced by this polarization ( D field). It is possible to have a material with a 'built-in' polarization (i.e. the electric equivalent of a magnet)? Discuss how this is possible and give an example of such a material?
