A proton enters the uniform electric field producedby the two charged plates shown below. The magnitude ofthe electric field is 4.0 × 105 N/C, and the speed of theproton when it enters is 1.5 × 107 m/s. What distance dhas the proton been deflected downward when it leaves theplates?
Metal sphere A is hung from the ceiling by a long, thin stringand given a positive charge. An identical sphere B is suspendednearby with an identical string and given a negative charge thathas the same magnitude as the charge on A. The two spheresare 50 mm apart when in equilibrium. If an identical sphere Ccarrying no surplus charge is placed between them, does thedistance between A and B increase, decrease, or remain thesame?
Two identical conducting spheres are separated by a fixed centerto-center distance of 35 cm and have different charges. Initially, thespheres attract each other with a force of 0.099 N. The spheres arenow connected by a thin conducting wire. After the wire is removed,the spheres are positively charged and repel one another with a forceof 0.031 N. Find (a) the final and (b) the initial charges on the spheres.
