When determining an electric field, must we use a positive test charge, or would a negative one do as well? Explain.
A negative point charge is in an electric field created by a positive point charge. Which of the following is true?
(a) The field points toward the positive charge, and the force on the negative charge is in the same direction as the field.
(b) The field points toward the positive charge, and the force on the negative charge is in the opposite direction to the field.
(c) The field points away from the positive charge, and the force on the negative charge is in the same direction as the field.
(d) The field points away from the positive charge, and the force on the negative charge is in the opposite direction to the field.
(II) An electron is released from rest in a uniform electric field and accelerates to the north at a rate of\({\bf{105 m/}}{{\bf{s}}^{\bf{2}}}\).Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field.
Given that the human body is mostly made of water, estimate the total amount of positive charge in a 75-kg person.
(II) Two charged dust particles exert a force of\({\bf{4}}{\bf{.2 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 2}}}}\;{\bf{N}}\)on each other. What will be the force if they are moved so they are only one-eighth as far apart?
