Suppose Nelectrons can be placed in either of two configurations. In configuration 1, they are all placed on the circumference of a narrow ring of radius Rand are uniformly distributed so that the distance between adjacent electrons is the same everywhere. In configuration 2, N-1electrons are uniformly
distributed on the ring and one electron is placed in the center of the ring. (a) What is the smallest value of Nfor which the second configuration is less energetic than the first? (b) For that value of N, consider any one circumference electron—call it eo. How many other circumference electrons are closer to eothan the central electron is?
A particular 12Vcar battery can send a total charge of 84 A.h(ampere-hours) through a circuit, from one terminal to the other. (a) How many coulombs of charge does this represent? (Hint:See Eq. 21-3.) (b) If this entire charge undergoes a change in electric potential of 12 V, how much energy is involved?
Question: In Fig. 24-46, three thin plastic rods form quarter-circles with a common center of curvature at the origin. The uniform charges on the three rods are,. What is the net electric potential at the origin due to the rods?

The chocolate crumb mystery. This story begins with Problem 60 in Chapter 23. (a) From the answer to part (a) of that problem, find an expression for the electric potential as a function of the radial distance from the center of the pipe. (The electric potential is zero on the grounded pipe wall.) (b) For the typical volume charge density , what is the difference in the electric potential between the pipe’s center and its inside wall? (The story continues with Problem 60 in Chapter 25.)
In Fig. 24-60, a charged particle (either an electron or a proton) is moving rightward between two parallel charged plates separated by distance d=2.0 mm. The plate potentials are V1= -70.0 Vand V2= -50.0V. The particle is slowing from an initial speed of 90.0 km/sat the left plate. (a) Is the particle an electron or a proton? (b) What is its speed just as it reaches plate 2?
