An electron is released from rest in a uniform electric field. Determine whether the following quantities increase, decrease, or remain unchanged as the electron moves. Indicate your answers with I (increase), D (decrease), or U (unchanged), respectively.

Two charges 20Cand+2.0C are separated by 4.0 cm on the z-axis symmetrically about origin, with the positive one uppermost. Two space points of interest and P1andP2 are located 3.0 cm and 30 cm from origin at an angle 30 with respect to the z-axis. Evaluate electric potentials at P1andP2 and in two ways: (a) Using the exact formula for point charges, and (b) rising the approximate dipole potential formula.
A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 7.46, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to continue moving, (a) Calculate the acceleration of the electron if the field strength is 2.50104 N/C . (b) Explain why the electron will not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole. Figure 7.46 Parallel conducting plates with opposite charges on them create a relatively uniform electric field used to accelerate electrons to the right. Those that go through the hole can be used to make a TV or computer screen glow or to produce X- rays.
An ionized oxygen molecule (O+2) at point A has charge +e and moves at 2.00 103 m/s in the positive x-direction.

Calculate (a) the x-component of the electric field and (b) the potential difference between points A and B.

Your friend gets really excited by the idea of making a lightning rod or maybe just a sparking toy by connecting two spheres as shown in Figure 7.39, and making R2so small that the electric field is greater than the dielectric strength of air, just from the usual 150 V/m electric field near the surface of the Earth. If R1is 10 cm. how small does R2to be, and does this seem practical? (Hint: recall the calculation for electric field at the surface of a conductor from Gauss's Law.)

The electric field in a region is pointed away from the z-axis and the magnitude depends upon the distance s from the axis. The magnitude of the electric field is given as E=as where a is a constant. Find the potential difference between points P1and P2, explicitly stating the path over which you conduct die integration for the line integral.
