The magnitude of the charge of particle B is not known, but it is knownthat QB0. Point P is between the two particles (forming a line), and a distance x = R/3away from particle A.

Suppose a capacitor consists of two coaxial thin cylindrical conductors. The inner cylinder of radius ra has a charge of +Q, while the outer cylinder of radius rp has charge -Q. The electric field E at a radial distance r from the central axis is given by the function: E = aer/ao + B/r + bo %3D where alpha (a), beta (B), ao and bo are constants. Find an expression for its capacitance. First, let us derive the potential difference Vab between the two conductors. The potential difference is related to the electric field by: Vab = | S"Edr= - [ *Edr Calculating the antiderivative or indefinite integral, Vab = (-aage-r/ao + B + bo By definition, the capacitance C is related to the charge and potential difference by: C = Evaluating with the upper and lower limits of integration for Vab, then simplifying: C = Q/( (e-rb/ao - eralao) + B In( ) + bo ( ))
Problem 4 (practice): A mad scientist considers creating a roller coaster which would use a uniform electric field to accelerate the roller coaster cars at the start of the ride. One coaster car has a mass of 250 kg, and the scientist manages to place 0.003 C of charge on it. How strong of an electric field would they need in order to get the coaster to go from rest to a speed of 17 m/s within a distance of 20 meters?
Suppose we have a charge, q1=3 μC. This charge makes an electric field some distance r=69 cm away from it. Now suppose our measurement of q1 is only accurate to within 0.1 μC, and our measurement of r is only accurate to within 1 cm. a)If we were to calculate the electric field made by that charge at the indicated distance, what would be the uncertainty in our calculation due only to the uncertainty in the size of q1? b)What is the uncertainty in our field calculation due only to the uncertainty in the charge separation r? c)What is the total uncertainty in our electric field calculation due to the uncertainty in the size of q1 and the uncertainty in the charge separation r?
Suppose we have a charge, q1=1 μC. This charge makes an electric field some distance r=73 cm away from it. Now suppose our measurement of q1 is only accurate to within 0.2 μC, and our measurement of r is only accurate to within 1.5 cm. What is the uncertainty in our field calculation due only to the uncertainty in the charge separation r? Every time I do this calculation I get a different number all of which have been wrong. I have gotten 694.06, 693.097, 46.2, .69405, and 71.56. Can you please help me with this?
The answer for this problem would be "C" but could you explain me why? The reason for this is to understand this kind of problems in the future not only this one.

A small charged particle of mass 1.0 x 10-8 kg is traveling rightward between two plates separated by a distance d = 80 cm, as shown below. The electric field between the plates has a constant magnitude of 3.0 x 106 V/m and is directed leftward. The particle's speed is 5.0 x 103 m/s at the left plate and 2.0 x 10³ m/s at the right plate. Ignore the effect of gravity. F (a) Is the particle positively charged or negatively charged? Justify your answer briefly but clearly. (b) Find the charge (with correct sign) of the particle, as well as the potential difference (with correct sign) through which the particle has moved. (Note: The potential difference is positive if the right plate is at a higher potential than the left plate, and negative if the right plate is at a lower potential than the left plate. Show all your work; do not simply plug numbers into a result derived in class.)

Cold Atoms: When atoms are cooled to very low temperatures, they move very slowly. At these low speeds, atoms can fall under their own weight. A team of scientists is studying cold ions. Each ion has a mass of 1.91 x 10-25 kg, a charge of 1.6 x 10-19 C, and an average velocity of 15.0 mm/s due north. The scientists are trying to focus a beam of these atoms on a detector 1.000 m away. However, gravity is deflecting the beam. One scientist suggests using a magnetic field to counteract the force of gravity. (a) What minimum magnetic field strength could counteract the force of gravity for these particles? (b) What direction should the field be oriented? Either describe the direction or draw a picture that shows the velocity of the particles, the direction of gravity, and the direction of the magnetic field. Ignore the earth's magnetic field. It has eliminated by magnetic shielding around the experimental setup.
