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.

One type of ink-jet printer, called an electrostatic ink-jet printer, forms the letters by using deflecting electrodes to steer charged ink drops up and down vertically as the ink jet sweeps horizontally across the page. The ink jet forms30ฮผm diameter drops of ink, charges them by spraying 800,000 electrons on the surface, and shoots them toward the page at a speed of 20m/s. Along the way, the drops pass through two horizontal, parallel electrodes that are 6.0mmlong,4.0mm wide, and spaced 1.0mm apart. The distance from the center of the electrodes to the paper is 2.0cm. To form the tallest letters, which have a height of 6.0mm, the drops need to be deflected upward (or downward) by 3.0mm. What electric field strength is needed between the electrodes to achieve this deflection? Ink, which consists of dye particles suspended in alcohol, has a density of 800kg/m3 .
