In the figure a small, nonconducting ball of mass m = 1.1 mg and charge q = 1.9 × 108 C (distributed uniformly through its volume) hangs from an insulating thread that makes an angle 0 = 23° with a vertical, uniformly charged nonconducting sheet (shown in cross section).

Four positive point charges each with a magnitude of 1.0 nC are placed at the corners of a rectangle as shown below. What is the resultant electric field strength halfway between A and C due to the charges? Select one: 1.15 N/C, upward 0.77 N/C, downward 0.77 N/C, upward 1.15 N/C, downward
Two small spheres each have a mass m of 0.700 g and are suspended as pendulums by light insulating strings from a common point, as shown in the figure below. The spheres are given the same electric charge, and the two come to equilibrium when each string is at an angle of 0= 6.00%; with the vertical. m OK 410 m 1) If each string is 1.00 m long, what is the magnitude of the charge on each sphere?

A 1.1 kg particle with charge 2 C is placed (initially at rest) at x = 0. There is a constant rightward 84 N/C electric field that extends from x = -1 m to x = 1.3 m. Elsewhere, the electric field is zero. Calculate the time it would take, in s, for the particle to reach x = 4.8 m. (Please answer to the fourth decimal place - i.e 14.3225)
A pendulum is formed by attaching a 15.3 nC point charge of mass 1.20 g to a string of length 34.0 cm. When left to hang in an electric field of strength 6.20×105 N/C, at what angle θ will it hang? Angle (units of either "deg" or "rad"):
In the figure a small, nonconducting ball of mass m = 1.1 mg and charge q = 2.4 × 10-8 C (distributed uniformly through its volume) hangs from an insulating thread that makes an angle θ = 38° with a vertical, uniformly charged nonconducting sheet (shown in cross section).

I need help with this problem. I am really struggling figuring it out. Any help is greatly appreciated! Consider a region in which a uniform electric field of 25 N/C is directed to the east. A negative point charge is released from rest within this field. The charge on this particle is -3.7 nC and its mass is 6.1 x 10-10 kg. How far and in what direction will the object travel in 0.25 s?
In the question above, charge q 2 is 2x10 -9C and charge q 1 has mass 0.23g. The separation r is 2.5cm, and the angle θ is 15.9 degrees. Find q 1(magnitude and sign, you don't need to enter a + for positive answers but you will need to enter a - if negative). Note: the answer for this question is very small and using scientific notation will help. This system uses E in place of x10 so for example to enter 3x10 -24 type 3E-24 in the answer box.
What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a 2.45 g particle be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed electric field of magnitude 650 N/C ? Express your answer in microcoulombs.
A 0.01294 kg ball with a positive charge of 47.4 μC hangs from a light string right next to a large vertical metal plate (the metal plate is so large compared to the length of the string and ball consider it to be infinite in size). How much surface charge density must the plate have to repel the ball so that the string makes and angle of 5.03 degrees from the vertical. Give your answer to 3 significant figures and in units of nC/m/m (nanoCoulombs per meter squared: Blackboard has trouble with squred units). Type in the units right after your numerical answer.
Problem 12: A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, which depicts a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to pass through. E = 2.4 × 104 N/C Calculate the horizontal component of the electron's acceleration if the field strength is 2.4 × 104 N/C. Express your answer in meters per second squared, and assume the electric field is pointing in the negative x-direction as shown in the figure.
