Levitation: The largest electric field strength you can create in air before dielectric breakdown (a spark) occurs is about 3.0 x 10°V/m. Suppose you created an electric field with thisstrength – pointing directly upward – between a set of parallel plates that are 9.9cm apart. You want to use this system to levitate water droplets with a mass of 1.8g.(a) How much charge would you have to put on a droplet to make it levitate?(b) Suppose that 43 charged droplets are levitating and the field strength suddenly drops by 24 percent, to about 2.3 x 106 V/m, how quickly would the droplets accelerate?E

Two horizontal parallel plates are separated by a distance of 174 mm creating an electric field of 23 μN/C directed north. An electron is place halfway between the two plates with and fired with initial velocity 58 m/s from the horizontal. Calculate the time it takes for the electron to land at the positive plate and its speed before hitting the plate. Provide an Illustration and answer in GRESA format.
A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure below, where a uniform electric field is created 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. O (a) Calculate the acceleration of the electron if the field strength is 7.96 x 10¹ N/C. m/s² (b) Why will the electron not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole? O The force of gravity is too strong. The other side of the positive plate also has a negative charge. There is no field outside the plates.
Wanda has shrunk Timmy down to a very small size so that he can study for his science test. He observes a charge of -4.255x10^-6C. that starts at rest in a region of constant, uniform electric field. Assume gravitational effects are negligible. At a time of 12.45s after the charge starts from rest, Wanda measures that the charge has a kinetic energy of 2.996x10^-6J. What would be the potential difference, in volts, the charge will move through after 8.310s?
