Consider the following. B 0.500 mm 60.0° (a) Red blood cells often become charged and can be treated as point charges. Healthy red blood cells are negatively charged, but unhealthy cells (due to the presence a bacteria, for example) can become positively charged. In the figure, three red blood cells are oriented such that they are located on the corners of an equilateral triangle. The red blood cell charges are A = 1.80 pC, B = 6.60 pC, and C = -4.40 pC. Given these charges, what would the magnitude and direction of the electric field be at cell A? magnitude N/C direction ° counterclockwise from the +x axis (b) If the charge of cell A were doubled, how would the electric field at cell A change? O The magnitude of the field would be doubled. O The field would be unchanged. O The magnitude of the field would be halved. O The magnitude of the field would be quadrupled.

Consider a water molecule (H₂O). The two hydrogen atoms are positively charged, the oxygen atom is doubly negatively charged. The bond angle between the hydrogen atoms is 104.5°. The oxygen-hydrogen distance is 0.096 nm. 104.5" 0.096 nm T: Considering the atoms as non-bonded, independent charges... what is the net electric force vector on the oxygen atom (blue)? insidering the atoms as non-bonded, independent charges... what is the potential energy of this arrangement? Iculate the electric dipole moment (i.e. dipole vector) of the water molecule, using the axes in the figure to establish unit vectors. Hint: Treat the molecule as two independent dipoles, and add the moments as vectors. I claim it is p = -1.88 x 10-299 Cm. Am I correct? Why is it negative? (NOTE: The measured value of the dipole moment of water is about [p] = 0.617 x 10-29 C m, or about 1/3 of our calculated value.
