A small object is connected to a lightweight cord of length L =1.80 m that is tied to a point P, as shown in the figure. The object, string, and point all lie on a frictionless, horizontal table. The object has a mass m = 0.0100 kg, and the positive charge q is released from rest when the string makes an angle ? = 60.0° with a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 260 V/m. The speed object when the string is parallel to the electric field is 0.274 m/s.
Determine the charge of object.
For this problem, use the usual assumptions such as neglecting fringing effects.
Two large, parallel conducting plates each have surface area 0.5 m2 on a side. The plates are separated by a distance of 0.003 m.
One plate is positively charged and the other is negatively charged but with the same absolute value of charge.
A voltmeter is connected to the plates. The absolute value of the reading is 4000 volts.
