Chapter 24, Problem 10PQ
Two large neutral metal plates, fitted tightly against each other, are placed between two particles with charges of equal magnitude but opposite sign, such that the plates are perpendicular to the line connecting the charges (Fig. P24.10). What will happen to each plate when they are released and allowed to move freely? Draw the electric field lines for the particles-plates system.

- A Two positively charged particles, each with charge Q, are held at positions (a, 0) and (a, 0) as shown in Figure P23.73. A third positively charged particle with charge q is placed at (0, h). a. Find an expression for the net electric force on the third particle with charge q. b. Show that the two charges Q behave like a single charge 2Q located at the origin when the distance h is much greater than a. Figure P23.73 Problems 73 and 74.arrow_forwardA simple pendulum has a small sphere at its end with mass m and charge q. The pendulums rod has length L and its weight is negligible. The pendulum is placed in a uniform electric field of strength E directed vertically upward. What is the period of oscillation of the sphere if the electric force is less than the gravitational force on the sphere? Assume the oscillations are small.

- Figure P24.16 shows three charged particles arranged in the xy plane at the coordinates shown, with qA = qB = 3.30 nC and qC = 4.70 nC. What is the electric field due to these particles at the origin? FIGURE P24.16arrow_forwardA Figure P23.65 shows two identical conducting spheres, each with charge q, suspended from light strings of length L. If the equilibrium angle the strings make with the vertical is , what is the mass m of the spheres? Figure P23.65arrow_forwardA When we find the electric field due to a continuous charge distribution, we imagine slicing that source up into small pieces, finding the electric field produced by the pieces, and then integrating to find the electric field. Lets see what happens if we break a finite rod up into a small number of finite particles. Figure P24.77 shows a rod of length 2 carrying a uniform charge Q modeled as two particles of charge Q/2. The particles are at the ends of the rod. Find an expression for the electric field at point A located a distance above the midpoint of the rod using each of two methods: a. modeling the rod with just two particles and b. using the exact expression E=kQy12+y2 c. Compare your results to the exact expression for the rod by finding the ratio of the approximate expression to the exact expression. FIGURE P24.77 Problems 77 and 78.arrow_forward
- Three charged spheres are suspended by nonconducting light rods of length L = 0.625 m from the point O. The rods are fixed in position so that the middle rod is vertical and the rods on the left and right make an angle of 30.0 with the vertical (Fig. P24.50). a. What is the total electric field due to the charged spheres at point O? b. What is the electric force on a particle with charge q = +5.00 C placed at point O? FIGURE P24.50arrow_forwardReview. A block having mass m and charge + Q is connected to an insulating spring having a force constant k. The block lies on a frictionless, insulating, horizontal track, and the system is immersed in a uniform electric field of magnitude E directed as shown in Figure P24.6. The block is released from rest when the spring is unstretched (at x = 0). We wish to show that the ensuing motion of the block is simple harmonic. (a) Consider the system of the block, the spring, and the electric field. Is this system isolated or nonisolated? (b) What kinds of potential energy exist within this system? (c) Call the initial configuration of the system that existing just as the block is released from rest. The final configuration is when the block momentarily comes to rest again. What is the value of x when the block comes to rest momentarily? (d) At some value of x we will call x = x0, the block has zero net force on it. What analysis model describes the particle in this situation? (c) What is the value of x0? (f) Define a new coordinate system x such that x = x x0. Show that x satisfies a differential equation for simple harmonic motion. (g) Find the period of the simple harmonic motion. (h) How does the period depend on the electric field magnitude? Figure P24.6arrow_forwardOne end of a light spring with force constant k = 125 N/m is attached to a wall, and the other end to a metal block with charge qA = 2.00 C on a horizontal, frictionless table (Fig. P23.34). A second block with charge qB = 3.60 C is brought close to the first block. The spring stretches as the blocks attract each other so that at equilibrium, the blocks are separated by a distance d = 12.0 cm. What is the displacement x of the spring? Figure P23.34arrow_forward
