You’ve 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.
Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the electric field strengths to at the five points inFIGURE . Explain.
An electric dipole is formed from two charges, , spaced apart. The dipole is at the origin, oriented along the y-axis. The electric field strength at the point is .
a. What is the charge q? Give your answer in .
b. What is the electric field strength at the point?
The irregularly shaped area of charge in FIGURE has surface charge density. Each dimension (x and y) of the area is reduced by a factor of .
a. What is the ratio , where is the final surface charge density?
b. An electron is very far from the area. What is the ratio of the electric force on the electron after the area is reduced to the force before the area was reduced?
An ammonia molecule has a permanent electric dipole moment. A proton is from the molecule in the plane that bisects the dipole. What is the electric force of the molecule on the proton?
