Chapter 23: Q. 1 (page 652)

You鈥檝e been assigned the task of determining the magnitude and direction of the electric field at a point in space. Give a step-by-step procedure of how you will do so. List any objects you will use, any measurements you will make, and any calculations you will need to perform. Make sure that your measurements do not disturb the charges that are creating the field.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Calculate the electric field byE=Fq.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

Given a point in space of electric field.

02

Explanation

  • To determine the electric field, place a positive test charge which does not disturb the system's configuration.
  • Measure the force on the test charge.
  • Electric field at a point is the force experienced by the test charge at that point. From the measured force and charge calculate the electric field using E=Fq
  • Direction of the electric field is the same as the direction of the force on the charge.

An electret is similar to a magnet, but rather than being permanently magnetized, it has a permanent electric dipole moment. Suppose a small electret with electric dipole moment 1.0脳10-7Cm is 25cmfrom a small ball charged to +25nC, with the ball on the axis of the electric dipole. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the ball?

A parallel-plate capacitor has 2.0cm脳2.0cmelectrodes with surface charge densities 卤1.0脳10鈭�6C/m2. A proton traveling parallel to the electrodes at 1.0脳106m/s enters the center of the gap between them. By what distance has the proton been deflected sideways when it reaches the far edge of the capacitor? Assume the field is uniform inside the capacitor and zero outside the capacitor.

FIGURE shows a thin rod of length Lwith total charge Q.

a. Find an expression for the electric field strength at point Pon the axis of the rod at distance rfrom the center.

b. Verify that your expression has the expected behavior if r鈮�L.

c. Evaluate Eat r=3.0cmif L=5.0cmand Q=3.0nC.

A 1.0-mm-diameter oil droplet (density role="math" localid="1649088632675" 900kg/m3 ) is negatively charged with the addition of 25 extra electrons. It is released from rest 2.0mm from a very wide plane of positive charge, after which it accelerates toward the plane and collides with a speed of 3.5m/s. What is the surface charge density of the plane?
