In an inkjet printer, letters and images are created by squirting
drops of ink horizontally at a sheet of paper from a rapidly
moving nozzle. The pattern on the paper is controlled by an
electrostatic valve that determines at each nozzle position
whether ink is squirted onto the paper or not.

The ink drops have a mass m = 1.00×10-11 kg each and leave the nozzle and travel horizontally toward the paper at velocity v = 25.0 m/s. The drops
pass through a charging unit that gives each drop a positive charge q by causing it to lose some electrons. The drops then pass between parallel deflecting
plates of length Dº = 1.85 cm, where there is a uniform vertical electric field with magnitude E = 7.85×104 N/C . (Figure 1)
Part A
If a drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.350 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plate, what magnitude of charge q must be given to
the drop? Assume that the density of the ink drop is 1000 kg/m³, and ignore the effects of…
There are two conductive metal balls, each with a mass of m, and a radius of r₁ - 8 cm and ra = 2 cm as seen in the figure. The
metal balls are initially held and released. There is an electric field in the vicinity that is directed from a ball of large radius to a ball of
small radius. The distance Decoupled between the centers of the balls before allowing them to move is Ro = 15 cm. At first, the large
metal ball is charged by q, and the small one has no charge. When we allow the system to move freely, the metal balls will collide
repeatedly, and the collisions will be head-on and perfectly elastic. At each collision the interaction leads to a uniform charge
distribution on the balls throughout the whole process. Calculate the total distance taken from the first collision until the (n + 1)th
collision where n> 1 in terms of n² cm.

- Your roommate is having trouble understanding why solids form. He asks, Why would atoms bond into solids rather than just floating freely with respect to each other? To help him understand at least one type of bonding in solids, you decide to embark on an energy explanation. You show him a drawing of a primitive cell of a sodium chloride crystal, NaCl, or simple table salt. The drawing is shown in Figure P24.10, where the orange spheres are Na+ ions and the blue spheres are Cl ions. Each ion has a charge of magnitude equal to the elementary charge e. The ions lie on the comers of a cube of side d. You explain to your roommate that the electrical potential energy is defined as zero when all eight charges are infinitely far apart from each other. Then you bring them together to form the crystal structure shown. (a) Evaluate the electric potential energy of the crystal as shown and (b) show that it is energetically favorable for such crystals to form. Figure P24.10arrow_forwardYou are an astronaut, living for a long time interval in the International Space Station (ISS). During your off-duty hours, you have run out of books to read and video games to play. So, your mind wanders to your hobby of music. The last book you read discussed Gauss's law, and you get an inspiration. You plan to attach two nonconducting spheres of radius r = 1.70 cm together using a light insulating string of length L and linear mass density u = 7.00 x 10-3 kg/m, with the string attached at the surface of each sphere. Then, using the electrical system on the ISS, you will be able to electrify each sphere to a charge of Q = 75.0 µc, uniformly spread over the surface of the sphere. The combination will then be allowed to float freely in the ISS. The spheres will repel, creating a tension in the string. When you pluck the string, you wish it to play a perfect middle C, at 262 Hz. Determine the length of the string (in cm) that you need. (Assume the frequency of 262 Hz is the fundamental…arrow_forwardIs it possible for a conducting sphere of radius 0.10 m to hold a charge of 4.0 C in air?

The insulator on top of a pedestal is rubbed with a cloth, such as wool (Fig. P23.18A). A conductor is placed on top of the insulator, and the conductor is connected to ground by a conducting wire (Fig. P23.18B). (The conductor has an insulating handle, so charge cannot be transferred between the person and the conductor.) The conductor is then removed (Fig. P23.18C). The conductor may then be used to transfer charge to other objects. If the insulators charge after being Ribbed with the wool is negative, what is the charge of the conductor when it is removed?arrow_forward
- After running a comb through your hair, how do the hairs behave when the comb comes close to them? The hairs are attracted to the comb and move easily at a distance from it. The hairs are repelled by the comb. It takes contact for the hair to move. They barely move, one way or the other, until the comb touches them.arrow_forwardTwo charges lie in a line along the x axis.
