At what distance along the central axis of a uniformly charged plastic disk of radius R = 0.938 m is the magnitude of the electric field equal to 1/4 times the magnitude of the field at the center of the surface of the disk?
You have built a device that measures the temperature outside and displays it on a dial as a measure of how far away from room temperature outside is. The way the dial works is that a needle with a charged ball on the end is placed between two charged parallel plates. The strength of the uniform electric field between the plates is proportional to the outside temperature. Given that the charged ball on the needle has a charge of −2.4 µC and the needle can be represented as a string with tension 0.350 N, and is at an angle of 22°, consider the following. What is the mass of the object? gWhat is the magnitude of the electric field? N/C
