Reproduce FIGURE on your paper. Then draw a dot (or dots) on the figure to show the position (or positions) where an electron would experience no net force.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The position where an electron would experience no net force is mentioned within the diagram shown in steps.

Step by step solution

01

Electron.

An electron could be a particle with an electric charge.

It is either free (not certain to any atom) or tied to an atom's nucleus.

The energy levels of electrons in atoms are represented by spherical shells of various radii.

The upper the energy contained within the electron, the larger the spherical shell.

02

Position of electron where no net force.

Three 1.0 nC charges are placed as shown in FIGURE P22.66. Each of these charges creates an electric field Eโ†’at a point 3.0 cm in front of the middle charge.

  1. What are the three fields E1โ†’, E2โ†’, and E3โ†’created by the three charges? Write your answer for each as a vector in component form.
  2. Do you think that electric fields obey a principle of superposition? That is, is there a โ€œnet fieldโ€ at this point given by Eโ†’net=E1โ†’+E2โ†’+E3โ†’? Use what you learned in this chapter and previously in our study of forces to argue why this is or is not true.
  3. If it is true, what is Eโ†’net?

A small glass bead has been charged to +20 nC. A small metal ball bearing 1.0 cm above the bead feels a 0.018 N downward electric force. What is the charge on the ball bearing?

A negatively charged electroscope has separated leaves.

a. Suppose you bring a negatively charged rod close to the top of the electroscope, but not touching. How will the leaves respond? Use both charge diagrams and words to explain.

b. How will the leaves respond if you bring a positively charged rod close to the top of the electroscope, but not touching? Use both charge diagrams and words to explain

You have two neutral metal spheres on wood stands. Devise a procedure for charging the spheres so that they will have opposite charges of exactly equal magnitude. Use charge diagrams to explain your procedure.

Two small plastic spheres each have a mass of 2.0 g and a charge of -50.0 nC. They are placed 2.0 cm apart (center to center).

a. What is the magnitude of the electric force on each sphere?

b. By what factor is the electric force on a sphere larger than its weight?
