Two metal spheres, each of radius 4.2 cm, have a center-to-center separation of 1.9 m. Sphere 1 has a charge of + 1.5 x 10° C; sphere 2has a charge of - 3.4 x 108 C. Assume that the separation is large enough for us to assume that the charge on each sphere is uniformlydistributed (the spheres do not affect each other). With V= 0 at infinity, calculate in volts (a) the potential at the point halfwaybetween their centers and the potential on the surface of (b) sphere 1 and (c) sphere 2.(a) NumberiUnits(b) NumberiUnits(c) NumberiUnits

You are working in a biology lab during your summer break. Your supervisor asks you to perform an experiment to find the effective spring constant (in N/m) of a partial molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). You perform experiments and find that a single straight portion of a DNA molecule is 2.32 µm long. You then perform an activity that charges the ends of the molecule; each end becomes singly ionized: negative on one end, positive on the other. After the ends are charged, the molecule shrinks by 1.25% of its length. Use the particle in equilibrium model to balance the electric and elastic forces on a particle at one of the ends of the molecule. N/m
An alpha particle with kinetic energy 11.0 MeV makes a head-on- collision with a lead nucleus at rest. What is the distance of closest approach of the two particles?

Consider a parallel-plate capacitor whose (circular) plates are separated by a 3.0-mm-thick slab of glass with dielectric constant 5.0.

Electrons start from rest and are accelerated east by two plates (parallel to the north/south directions) through a potential difference. They then pass into a second set of parallel plates 1.2 cm long (parallel to the east/west direction). When the electrons leave the second set of plates they are moving at 3.0 x 106 m/s [E 30º N].
