Dielectric Constant Of Water
Water constitutes about 70% of earth. Some important distinguishing properties of water are high molar concentration, small dissociation constant and high dielectric constant.
Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance
An electrostatic force is a force caused by stationary electric charges /fields. The electrostatic force is caused by the transfer of electrons in conducting materials. Coulomb’s law determines the amount of force between two stationary, charged particles. The electric force is the force which acts between two stationary charges. It is also called Coulomb force.
Question
Can you help me solve for the answer in questions 17, 18, and 19?
the graph for 18 is figure 10

Transcribed Image Text:17. A small object of mass 3.80 g and charge
-18.0 μC is suspended motionless above
the ground when immersed in a uniform
electric field perpendicular to the ground.
What is the magnitude and direction of
the electric field?
18.
Answer
a. Determine the electric field strength
at a point 1.00 cm to the left of the
middle charge shown in Figure
P15.10.
b. If a charge of -2.00 µC is placed at
this point, what are the magnitude
and direction of the force on it?
19. An electric field of magnitude
5.25 × 105 N/C points due south at a
certain location. Find the magnitude and
direction of the force on a -6.00 μC
charge at this location.
