A sphere with a radius has a charge of spreads out uniformly over its surface. What is the magnitude of the electric field due to the sphere at a location from the center of the sphere?
An electron in a region in which there is an electric field experiences a force of 鉄 8.0脳10鈭17, 鈭3.2脳10鈭16, 鈭4.8 脳 10鈭16鉄 N. What is the electric field at the location of the electron?
A water molecule is asymmetrical, with one end positively charged and other end negatively charged. It has a dipole moment whose magnitude is measure to be . If the dipole moment oriented perpendicularly to an electric field whose magnitude is , what is the magnitude of torque on water molecule? Also, show that vector torque is equal to where is the dipole moment.
A dipole is located at the origin and is composed of charged particles with charge , separated by a distance along the y axis. The charge is on the axis. Calculate the force on a proton at a location due to this dipole.
If the charge of the point charge in Figure 13.60 were (instead of ):
(a) By what factor would the magnitude of the force on the point charge due to the dipole change? Express your answer as the ratio (magnitude of new force / magnitude of ).
(b) Would the direction of the force change?
