A microscopic spherical dust particle of radius 2 μm and mass 10 μg is moving in outer space at a constant speed of 30 cm/sec. A wave of light strikes it from the opposite direction of its motion and gets absorbed. Assuming the particle decelerates uniformly to zero speed in one second, what is the average electric field amplitude in the light?
At position x=0 the voltage is 100V. At x=0.5m the voltage is 0V. What is the direction and strength of the average x-component of the electric field in that region?
