In this example, we will analyze the motion of an electron that is released in an electric field. The terminals of a 100 V battery are connected to two large, parallel, horizontal plates 1.0 cm apart. The resulting charges on the plates produce an electric field E in the region between the plates that is very nearly uniform and has magnitude E = 3.0×104 N/C. Suppose the lower plate has positive charge, so that the electric field is vertically upward, as shown in (Figure 1). (The thin pink arrows represent the electric field.) If an electron is released from rest at the upper plate, what is its speed just before it reaches the lower plate? How much time is required for it to reach the lower plate? The mass of an electron is mẹ = 9.11 x 10-31 kg. The thin arrows represent the uniform electric field. 1.0 cm 100 V In this example, suppose a proton (mp = 1.67 × 10-27 kg) is released from rest at the positive plate.

Two identical thin rods of length L are each charged with a positive charge q that is uniformly distributed on each rod. The rods are arranged parallel to each other along the x direction and are separated by a distance 2d, as shown in the figure below. Determine the electric field at point P, which is located a distance d from the right endpoint of each rod. Hint: You will eventually need the following integral: น 1 S (a²+u²)3/2 du = − + C √a²+u²

Suppose you design an apparatus in which a uniformly charged disk of radius R is to produce an electric field. The field magnitude is most important along the central perpendicular axis of the disk, at a point P at distance 2.60R from the disk (see Figure (a)). Cost analysis suggests that you switch to a ring of the same outer radius R but with inner radius R/2.60 (see Figure (b)). Assume that the ring will have the same surface charge density as the original disk. If you switch to the ring, by what part will you decrease the electric field magnitude at P? Number i Units (a) (b)
