Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Question

1. (a) Calculate the value of two equal charges if they attract each other with a force of
0.2 N situated 40 cm apart in vacuum.
(b) What will be the size of the charges if they were situated in an insulating liquid
whose permittivity was ten times that of vacuum?
(c) Find the value of the electric field experienced by a particle carrying a charge of 2 C
from any one of these charges if the force is the same.
(d) Three point charges lie along the x-axis as shown in the diagram. The positive charge
q1 = 15.0 µC is at x = 2.0 m, the positive charge q, = 6.0 µC is at the origin, and the
net force acting on q3 is zero. What is the x-coordinate of q3?

(a)What is the electric field at x = 10 due to these three charges? (Be sure to specify both the magnitude and direction.) (b)If I place an electron at x = 10, what is the force on the electron?
In 1910 Rutherford performed a classic experiment in which he directed a beam of alpha particles at a thin gold foil. He unexpectedly observed a few of the particles scattered almost directly backward. This result was not consistent with then current models of atomic structure and led Rutherford to propose the existence of a very dense concentration of positive charge at the center of an atom—the atomic nucleus. The alpha particle has a charge of +2e and the gold nucleus a charge of +79e. Suppose that an alpha particle is initially a great distance from the gold, has a kinetic energy of 2.31 MeV (2.31 106 eV), and is headed directly at a gold nucleus. How close will the particle come to the center of the nucleus? Treat the nucleus and the alpha particle as point charges.
