Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

An electron is projected with an initial speed v0 = 1.70×106 m/s into the uniform field between the parallel plates in (Figure 1). Assume that the field between the plates is uniform and directed vertically downward, and that the field outside the plates is zero. The electron enters the field at a point midway between the plates. If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field. Express your answer in newtons per coulomb. Suppose that in the figure the electron is replaced by a proton with the same initial speed v0v0. Would the proton hit one of the plates? What would be the direction of proton's displacement? displacement is upward displacement is downward

Consider an infinitely long wire of charge carrying a positive charge density of A. The electric field due to λ this line of charge is given by E= 2kef= -, where is a unit vector directed radially outward Σπερμ from the infinitely long wire of charge. Hint #3 a. Letting the voltage be zero at some reference distance (V(ro) = 0), calculate the voltage due to this infinite line of charge at some distance r from the line of charge. Give your answer in terms of given quantities (A,ro,r) and physical constants (ke or Eo). Use underscore ("_") for subscripts and spell out Greek letters. Hint for V(r) calculation 3 V(r) = b. There is a reason we are not setting V(r → ∞o) = 0 as we normally do (in fact, in general, whenever you have an infinite charge distribution, this "universal reference" does not work; you need a localized charge distribution for this reference to work). Which of the following best describes what happens to potential as roo? (That is, what is V(ro), with our current…
