Get started for freeThree charges are placed at the corners of the triangle in FIGURE The charge has twice the quantity of charge of the two - charges; the net charge is zero. Is the triangle in equilibrium? If so, explain why. If not, draw the equilibrium orientation.
Charges and in are located at . Determine the electric field at points . Write each field in component form.
The ozone molecule has a permanent dipole moment of 1. Although the molecule is very slightly bent— which is why it has a dipole moment—it can be modeled as a uniform rod of length with the dipole moment perpendicular to the axis of the rod. Suppose an ozone molecule is in a uniform electric field. In equilibrium, the dipole moment is aligned with the electric field. But if the molecule is rotated by a small angle and released, it will oscillate back and forth in simple harmonic motion. What is the frequency of oscillation?
What are the strength and direction of the electric field at the position indicated by the dot in FIGURE EX23.4? Specify the direction as an angle above or below horizontal
You have a summer intern position with a company that designs and builds nanomachines. An engineer with the company is designing a microscopic oscillator to help keep time, and you’ve been assigned to help him analyze the design. He wants to place a negative charge at the center of a very small, positively charged metal ring. His claim is that the negative charge will undergo simple harmonic motion at a frequency determined by the amount of charge on the ring.
a. Consider a negative charge near the center of a positively charged ring centered on the . Show that there is a restoring force on the charge if it moves along the but stays close to the center of the ring. That is, show there’s a force that tries to keep the charge at . b. Show that for small oscillations, with amplitude , a particle of mass with chargeundergoes simple harmonic motion with frequency ,are the radius and charge of the ring.
c. Evaluate the oscillation frequency for an electron at the center of a diameter ring charged to .
