A charged particle produces an electric field with a magnitude of2.0N/Cat a point that is50cmaway from the particle. What is the magnitude of the particle’s charge?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the particle’s charge is5.6×10-11C

Step by step solution

01

The given data

a) The magnitude of the electric field,E=2.0N/C

b) The distance of the point from the particle,R=50 cmor0.5m

02

Understanding the concept of electric field 

Using the concept of the electric field at a given point, we can get its charge value from the given formula.

Formula:

The magnitude of the electric field,E=q4πεoR2 (1)

where R = The distance of field point from the charge, and q = charge of the particle

03

Calculation of the charge of the particle

Using the formula of the electric field of equation (i) and the given data, we can get the charge of the particle as follows:

q=4πε0R2E=2.00N/C0.50m28.99×109N.m2C2=5.6×10-11 C

Hence, the value of the charge is 5.6×10-11 C

In Fig. 22-51, two curved plastic rods, one of charge +qand the other of charge-q, form a circle of radius R=8.50 cm in an x-yplane. The xaxis passes through both of the connecting points, and the charge is distributed uniformly on both rods. If q=15.0 pC, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of the xaxis) of the electric field Eproduced at P, the center of the circle?

Figure 22-23 shows two square arrays of charged particles. The squares, which are centered on point P, are misaligned. The particles are separated by either dor d/2 along the perimeters of the squares. What are the magnitude and direction of the net electric field at P?

In Fig. 22-29, an electron e travels through a small hole in plate A and then toward plate B. A uniform electric field in the region between the plates then slows the electron without deflecting it. (a) What is the direction of the field? (b) Four other particles similarly travel through small holes in either plate Aor plate Band then into the region between the plates. Three have charges+q1
,+q2
, and.−q3The fourth (labeled n) is a neutron, which is electrically neutral. Does the speed of each of those four other particles increase, decrease, or remain the same in the region between the plates?
