Chapter 16: Q3Q (page 443)
Explain why fog or rain droplets tend to form around ions or electrons in the air.
Due to the polarity of the water molecules, they are affected by ions or electrons in the air.

Show, using the three rules for field lines given in Section 16鈥�8, that the electric field lines starting or ending on a single point charge must be symmetrically spaced around the charge.
Figures 16鈥�7 and 16鈥�8 show how a charged rod placed near an uncharged metal object can attract (or repel) electrons. There are a great many electrons in the metal, yet only some of them move as shown. Why not all of them?
Refer to Fig. 16鈥�32d. If the two charged plates were moved until they are half the distance shown without changing the charge on the plates, the electric field near the center of the plates would
(a) remain almost exactly the same.
(b) increase by a factor of 2.
(c) increase, but not by a factor of 2.
(d) decrease by a factor of 2.
(e) decrease, but not by a factor of 2.
(II) The electric field midway between two equal but opposite point charges is\({\bf{386 N/C}}\)and the distance between the charges is 16.0 cm. What is the magnitude of the charge on each?
For an experiment, a colleague of yours says he smeared toner particles uniformly over the surface of a sphere 1.0 m in diameter and then measured an electric field of \({\bf{5000 N/C}}\) near its surface. (a) How many toner particles (Example 16鈥�6) would have to be on the surface to produce these results? (b) What is the total mass of the toner particles?
