What is the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on a3.50C charge by a 250 N/C electric field that points due east?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the force is8.7510-4N and it is directed towards East.

Step by step solution

01

Electric field

A space around the charge in which any other test charge experiences some force is known as electric field. The expression for the strength of the electric field is,

E=Fq----------(1.1)

Here,F is the force experienced by the test charge,q and is the test charge.

02

Magnitude and direction of force

The magnitude of the force experienced by the test charge can be calculated using equation (1.1).

Rearranging equation (1.1) in order to get an expression for the force experienced by the test charge.

F = qE

Here, q is the charge on test charge q=3.50C, and E is the strength of electric field (250 N/C).

Substituting all known values,

F=3.50C250N/C=3.50C10-6C1C250N/C=8.7510-4N

Hence, the magnitude of the force is 8.7510-4N.

Since, the direction of the force and the electric field are same. Hence, the force is directed towards East.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 18.55, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to continue moving. (a) Calculate the acceleration of the electron if the field strength is\(2.50 \times {10^4}{\rm{ N/C}}\). (b) Explain why the electron will not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole.

Figure 18.55 Parallel conducting plates with opposite charges on them create a relatively uniform electric field used to accelerate electrons to the right. Those that go through the hole can be used to make a TV or computer screen glow or to produce X-rays.

Point charges of\(25.0{\rm{ }}\mu {\rm{C}}\)and\(45.0{\rm{ }}\mu {\rm{C}}\)are placed\(0.500{\rm{ m}}\)apart. (a) At what point along the line between them is the electric field zero? (b) What is the electric field halfway between them?

In regions of low humidity, one develops a special 鈥済rip鈥 when opening car doors, or touching metal door knobs. This involves placing as much of the hand on the device as possible, not just the ends of one鈥檚 fingers. Discuss the induced charge and explain why this is done.

Find the electric field at the location of \({q_a}\) in Figure 18.53 given that \({q_b} = {q_c} = {q_d} = + 2.00{\rm{ nC}}\), \(q = - 1.00{\rm{ nC}}\), and the square is \({\rm{20}}{\rm{.0 cm}}\) on a side.

Why do most objects tend to contain nearly equal numbers of positive and negative charges?
