Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the electric field strengthsE1 to E4 at points1to4 in FIGURE Q23.3. Explain.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rank in order of the electric field strengths, from the largest to smallest isE4=E3>E2>E1.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given the electric field strengths

02

Explanation

The electric field strength is smaller in the locality where the field lines are farther together and stronger where the field lines are closer apart.

The locality where the field lines are farther together are 1,2

The locality where the field lines are closer together are 3,4.

Hence, the requisite answer for the electric field strengths, from largest to smallest isE4=E3>E2>E1.

A 1.0-mm-diameter oil droplet (density role="math" localid="1649088632675" 900kg/m3 ) is negatively charged with the addition of 25 extra electrons. It is released from rest 2.0mm from a very wide plane of positive charge, after which it accelerates toward the plane and collides with a speed of 3.5m/s. What is the surface charge density of the plane?
