Question: An electron enters a region of uniform electric field with an initial velocity of 40km/sin the same direction as the electric field, which has magnitude E =50N/C. (a) What is the speed of the electron 1.5nsafter entering this region? (b) How far does the electron travel during 1.5ns theinterval?
In Fig. 22-36, the four particles are fixed in place and have charges,. Distance, d = 5.0 mm. What is the magnitude of the net electric field at point Pdue to the particles?

Figure 22-45 shows an electric dipole. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of the xaxis) of the dipole’s electric field at point P, located at distance,r>>d?

In Fig. 22-24, two particles of charge are arranged symmetrically about the y axis; each produces an electric field at point Pon that axis. (a) Are the magnitudes of the fields at Pequal? (b) Is each electric field directed toward or away from the charge producing it? (c) Is the magnitude of the net electric field at Pequal to the sum of the magnitudes Eof the two field vectors (is it equal to 2E)? (d) Do the x components of those two field vectors add or cancel? (e) Do their y components add or cancel? (f) Is the direction of the net field at P that of the canceling components or the adding components? (g) What is the direction of the net field?
In Fig. 22-67, an electric dipole swings from an initial orientation i() to a final orientation f() in a uniform external electric field . The electric dipole moment is; the field magnitude is. What is the change in the dipole’s potential energy?
