The distance d between adjacent sources is d=1.0 x 10-4 m. You may and even are encouraged to reuse any calculations that are needed more than once, symmetry arguments, and appropriate approximations as long as you make it clear what you are doing.

Ising model of Ferromagnets

The Ising model is one of the easiest and most famous theoretical models for ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics. When a group of atomic spins aligns such that their magnetic moments are pointed in the same direction and produce a strong permanent magnetic moment in macroscopic size, the phenomenon is called ferromagnetism. The relative permeability of these magnets is greater than unity and increasing magnetization with the applied external field. Even in the absence of an external magnetic field, these substances retain spontaneous magnetization. An example of ferromagnets is iron.

Four point charges are placed as shown below. Find the net field at the test point P, located a distance y
above the middle of the sources, for each of the following sets of parameters. The distance d between
adjacent sources is d=1.0 x 10-4 m.
You may and even are encouraged to reuse any calculations that are needed more than once, symmetry
arguments, and appropriate approximations as long as you make it clear what you are doing. Your

Three (3) point charges with q = 7.50 uC are initially held fixed as shown in the figure. The charges are then released, and all three move in response to the electric force between them. Assuming L = 250m, what is the sum of the kinetic energies of the three particles when they are very far apart? Show your work and use significant figures in the final answer. [ Answer: 3.87 J ]
Two pith balls, each with a mass of 1.4 g, are attached to non-conducting threads and suspended from a common hook. Each thread has a length of 16.2 cm. The balls are then given an identical charge, which causes them to separate. In equilibrium, the threads are separated by an angle of 6.9°. Calculate the charge on each pith ball, in coulombs (C). Be clear and show all your work.

This is a challenging problem. Solve it on paper, writing out each step carefully. When doing calculations, do not round intermediate values. Note: If you have approached the problem in a principled way, do not abandon your approach if your numerical answer is not accepted; check your calculations! Four protons (each with mass 1.7 x 10.27 kg and charge 1.6 x 10-19 C) are initially held at the corners of a square that is 5.1 x 10 mon a side. They are then released from rest. What is the speed of each proton when the protons are very far apart? (You may assume that the final speed of each proton is small compared to the speed of light.) Ufinal= m/s
