Consider the following. B 0.500 mm 60.0° (a) Red blood cells often become charged and can be treated as point charges. Healthy red blood cells are negatively charged, but unhealthy cells (due to the presence a bacteria, for example) can become positively charged. In the figure, three red blood cells are oriented such that they are located on the corners of an equilateral triangle. The red blood cell charges are A = 1.80 pC, B = 6.60 pC, and C = -4.40 pC. Given these charges, what would the magnitude and direction of the electric field be at cell A? magnitude N/C direction ° counterclockwise from the +x axis (b) If the charge of cell A were doubled, how would the electric field at cell A change? O The magnitude of the field would be doubled. O The field would be unchanged. O The magnitude of the field would be halved. O The magnitude of the field would be quadrupled.
A small 2.45 g plastic ball that has a charge q = 1.55 C is suspended by a string that has a length L = 1.00 m in a uniform electric field, as shown in the figure. If the ball is in equilibrium when the string makes a 0 = 9.80° angle with the vertical, what is the electric field strength E? E = N/C E
In the figure, two identical spheres of radius R are set up a distance d away from each other (d is the distance from the center of one to the center of the other). One sphere has charge +Q and is centered at x = 0. The other sphere has a charge -Q and is centered at x = d. You are using this set-up to accelerate a small particle with charge q and mass m. The particle starts at a position x, and ends up at a position xy-d-x. (The distance from the positive sphere to x, is equal to the distance from x, to the negative sphere.) The values in this problem are: d-4.70 m, R = 0.16 m, Q-8.65x10 C, q-6.37x10 C m-1.87x105 kg. x = 0.78 m If the small charge starts at rest, what is the final speed of the charge when it reaches x? Give your answer in m/s to at least three digits, to avoid being counted incorrect due to rounding. Note: You can assume that the spheres are far enough apart that the charge on the sphere is uniformly distributed on their surfaces. R,+Q R₁-Q
Two identical, charged styrofoam balls are hung by threads from a ceiling, as shown in Figure 2. The balls each have a mass m = 425 g and the thread has a length of 30.0 cm. In equilibrium the angle 0 = 26.0°. What is the magnitude of the charge on each ball? (0) A q1 9₁ Enter your answer in µC.
Two identical metal blocks resting on a smooth horizontal surface are connected by a lightweight spring having a spring constant k = 0.2 N/m, as shown in the figure. The length of the spring before it is stretched is L0 = 10 cm. A total charge Q is carefully applied to the block, which is assumed to be a point charge. Because the blocks are given an electric charge, the spring is stretched so that its length becomes L = 10.2 cm. Find Q!
