- What is the direction of the electric field at the position indicated by the dot in the figure? Specify the direction as an angle measured clockwise from the positive x-axis, and what is the strength of the electric field at the position indicated by the dot in the figure?arrow_forwardPlease fill out the template. Note that you need to have a picture, a list of knowns and unknowns, the general equation/s you will use, and the math steps to solve for the unknown, only plug in the numbers after you have solved for the unknown, and the answer with units included. Suppose you have two point charges each of 78 nC. How many millimeters apart must the two charges be to have a force of 0.95 N between them?arrow_forwardSuppose that 2 electric charges, +QA and +QB, are placed a distance r apart and the electrostatic force between them is measured to be +Fel, as shown in the first line of the table below. Then, the two charges and/or distance are changed as indicated in the table, on 3 separate occasions. Fill in the missing value in the box for each of these cases.arrow_forward
- Two particles with electric charges Q and ¬−3Q are separated by a distance of 1.2 m. (a) If Q = 4.5 C, what is the electric force between the two particles? (b) If Q = −4.5 C, how does the answer change? Show your solution. Broad answer is needed.arrow_forwardIn simple terms please. How does an electric field relate to force and what even is an electric field? Please explain as if you were explaining to someone who doesn’t know what’s going on.arrow_forwardWhat direction would the force point on a test charge placed between parallel plates with one connected to a negative terminal of the battery while another is connected to the positive terminal of a battery? What about on either side of the parallel plates? Explain in terms of force. For this question, I assume the test charge is positive and that the force would point in the direction of the electric field (high to low toward the negatively charged plate). If placed outside of the positive plate, I assume the force would travel in the same direction as the E-Field (high to low). If on the other side of the negative plate, wouldn't the force travel opposite to the E-field lines?arrow_forward
- stuck on this question, please explain your answer and each step. Thank you! Use the following evidence from a Millikan oil-drop experiment to determine the number of excess elementary charges on a charged sphere suspended between parallel plates.m = 4.2 10–15 kgV = 430 Vd = 0.50 cm 3 5 20 300arrow_forwardSolve the following problems completely and neatly. Write your solution in a clean sheet of paper. A +80µC charge is placed at the origin. A -35µC is placed at x = 2m and a +170µC is placed at x= -4m. (a) what is the net electric force acting on the +80µC charge? (b) what is the net electric force acting on the +170µC charge?arrow_forwardA proton has a mass of about 1.673x10-27kg. If an electron is placed in a region of space within which a constant electric field exists with magnitude 4.878 N/C, how long would it take this proton to travel a distance of 218.64m in units of ms (milliseconds)? Assume the proton does not collide with anything along the way. Hint: You will need to use the kinematic relationships for linear motion that we learned back in PHY 2010. This results of this problem show you that small charges like protons, and electrons too, move great distances in a short amount of time under very small external electric fields - if those charges are in a vacuum - otherwise, they quickly strike a nearby charge. Note: It is understood that the unit of your answer is in milliseconds, however do not explicitly include units in your answer. Enter only a number.arrow_forward
- Answer briefly and concisely. Define electric field in your own words. Why is it important in the understanding of an electric charge?arrow_forwardWhat is electric field and why is it important?arrow_forwardEach sketch below shows three objects with an electric charge. In each case, decide whether there is a net force acting on the object outlined in green. If there is a net force, decide whether it pushes the green-ring object to the left or right. Then select the appropriate button under the sketch. For example, if there is a net force pushing the green-ring object in the first sketch to the left, select the left button under the first sketch. If there is no net force on the green-ring object in the second sketch, select the middle button under the second sketch. And so on.arrow_forward
