(a) What total (excess) charge qmust the disk in Fig. 22-15 have for the electric field on the surface of the disk at its center to have magnitude , the Evalue at which air breaks down electrically, producing sparks? Take the disk radius as. (b) Suppose each surface atom has an effective cross-sectional area of. How many atoms are needed to make up the disk surface? (c) The charge calculated in (a) results from some of the surface atoms having one excess electron. What fraction of these atoms must be so charged?
A uniform electric field exists in a region between two oppositely charged plates. An electron is released from rest at the surface of the negatively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, 2.0 cmaway, in a time. (a) What is the speed of the electron as it strikes the second plate? (b) What is the magnitude of the electric field?
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. 22-41, particle 1 of charge q1 = -5.00q and particle 2 of charge q2=+2.00qare fixed to an xaxis. (a) As a multiple of distance L, at what coordinate on the axis is the net electric field of the particles zero? (b)Sketch the net electric field lines between and around the particles.

Figure 22-25 shows four situations in which four charged particles are evenly spaced to the left and right of a central point. The charge values are indicated. Rank the situations according to the magnitude of the net electric field at the central point, greatest first.
