Construct Your Own Problem Consider identical spherical conducting space ships in deep space where gravitational fields from other bodies are negligible compared to the gravitational attraction between the ships. Construct a problem in which you place identical excess charges on the space ships to exactly counter their gravitational attraction. Calculate the amount of excess charge needed. Examine whether that charge depends on the distance between the centers of the ships, the masses of the ships, or any other factors. Discuss whether this would be an easy, difficult, or even impossible thing to do in practice.
A particle of charge +q and mass m moves with velocity v0 pointed In the +y-direction as It crosses the x-axis at x= R at a particular time. There is a negative charge -Q fixed at the origin, and there exists a uniform magnetic field B0 pointed in the +z-direction. It is found that the particle describes a circle of radius R about -Q. Find B0 in terms of the given quantities.
Review. A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.17m long. The ends of the molecule become singly ionized: negative on one end, positive on the other. The helical molecule acts like a spring and compresses 1.00% upon becoming charged. Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule.
Integrated Concepts Figure 18.57 shows an electron passing between two charged metal plates that create an 100 N/C vertical electric field perpendicular to the electron's original horizontal velocity. (These can be used to change the electron’s direction, such as in an oscilloscope.) The initial speed of the electron is 3.00106 m/s, and the horizontal distance it travels in the uniform field is 4.00 cm. (a) What is its vertical deflection? (b) What is the vertical component of its final velocity? (c) At what angle does it exit? Neglect any edge effects.
If a negatively charged particle is placed at point B in Figure 16.3 and given a very small kick to the right, what will its subsequent motion be? Will it (a) go to the right and not return, (b) go to the left, (c) remain at point B, or (d) oscillate around point B?
If two equal charges each of 1 C each are separated in air by a distance of 1 km, what is the magnitude of the force acting between them? You will see that even at a distance as large as 1 km, the repulsive force is substantial because 1 C is a very significant amount of charge.
Two charges Q1(1+2.00C) and Q2(+2.00C are placed symmetrically along the x-axis at x=3.00cm . Consider a charge Q3 of charge +4.00C and mass 10.0 mg moving along the y-axis. If Q3 starts from rest at y= 2.00 cm, what is its speed when it reaches y = 4.00 cm?
Review. From a large distance away, a particle of mass m1, and positive charge q1 is fired at speed in the positive x direction straight toward a second particle, originally stationary but free to move, with mass m2, and positive charge q2. Both particles are constrained to move only along the x axis. (a) At the instant of closest approach, both particles will be moving at the same velocity. Find this velocity, (b) Find the distance of closest approach. After the interaction, the particles will move far apart again. At this time, find the velocity of (c) the particle of mass m1, and (d) the particle of mass m2.

Integrated Concepts (a) A 0.140-kg baseball, pitched at 40.0 m/s horizontally and perpendicular to the Earth's horizontal 5.00105T field, has a 100-nC charge on it. What distance is it deflected from its path by the magnetic force, after traveling 30.0 m horizontally? (b) Would you suggest this as a secret technique for a pitcher to throw curve balls?
Using the symmetry of the arrangement, determine the direction of the force on q in the figure below, given that qa=qb=+7.50C and qc = qd = 7.50C. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force on the charge q, given that the square is 10.0 cm on a side and q = 2.00 C.
Considering Figure 18.46, suppose that qa= qdand qb= qc. First show that q is in static equilibrium. (You may neglect the gravitational force.) Then discuss whether the equilibrium is stable or unstable, noting that this may depend on the signs of the charges and the direction of displacement of q from the center of the square.
