A negatively charged particle of mass 4.30 x 10-19 kg is moving with a speed of 35.0 m/s when it enters the region between two parallel capacitor plates. The initial velocity of the charge is parallel to the plate surfaces and in the positive x-direction. The plates are square with a side of 1.00 cm, and the voltage across the plates is 2.50 V. If the particle is initially 1.00 mm from both plates and it just barely clears the positive plate after traveling 1.00 cm through the region between the plates, how many excess electrons are on the particle? Ignore gravitational and edge effects. 35.0 m/s 2.00 mm 1.00 cm Numeric Response
A small object is connected to a lightweight cord of length L=1.20 m that is tied to a point P, as shown in the figure. The object, string, and point all lie on a frictionless, horizontal table. The object has mass m=.0100kg and charge q= 2.10 uC and is released from rest when the string makes an angle theta=60 with a uniform electric field of magnitude E=260 V/m. Determine the speed in m/a of the object when the string is parallel to the electric field.

The Question Thor is battling the Frost Giants and he uses his hammer, Mjolnir, to zap them with lightning. Thor unleashes a bolt toward the nearest Giant. Mjolnir has an electric potential of zero and the Frost Giant has an electric potential of either +1.9 × 108 V or −1.9 × 108 V (you will decide during part 1 of the question). In order for electricity to conduct through dry air, the electric field between Thor and the Frost Giant must have a magnitude of 3.2 x 106 V m A negatively charged hydroxide ion (OH¯) in the lightning bolt travels away from Thor. OH¯ ions hold a charge of -1.6 × 10-¹⁹ C and they have a mass of 2.82 × 10-26 kg. The OH¯ ion speeds up from rest to a velocity of 6.3 × 105 m S 1. Does the electric field point from Thor toward the Frost Giant or from the Frost Giant toward Thor? Does this mean that the Frost Giant has a positive electric potential or a negative electric potential?

A constant potential difference of 20.0 V is maintained between the terminals of a 5.00 µF, parallel plate air capacitor. A sheet of glass having dielectric constant K = 5.00 is then inserted between the plates of the capacitor, completely filling the space between the plates, while the battery remains connected. What is the charge induced on either face of the glass sheet (in µC)?
