A -diameter oil droplet (density role="math" localid="1649088632675" ) is negatively charged with the addition of extra electrons. It is released from rest from a very wide plane of positive charge, after which it accelerates toward the plane and collides with a speed of . What is the surface charge density of the plane?
A small segment of wire in FIGURE contains of charge.
a. The segment is shrunk to one-third of its original length. What is the ratio of , where are the initial and final linear charge densities?
b. A proton is very far from the wire. What is the ratio Ff /Fi of the electric force on the proton after the segment is shrunk to the force before the segment was shrunk?
c. Suppose the original segment of wire is stretched to times its original length. How much charge must be added to the wire to keep the linear charge density unchanged?
You've hung two very large sheets of plastic facing each other with distancebetween them, as shown in. By rubbing them with wool and silk, you've managed to give one sheet a uniform surface charge density and the other a uniform surface charge density . What are the electric field vectors at points,and
A parallel-plate capacitor has electrodes with surface charge densities . A proton traveling parallel to the electrodes at enters the center of the gap between them. By what distance has the proton been deflected sideways when it reaches the far edge of the capacitor? Assume the field is uniform inside the capacitor and zero outside the capacitor.
