In the Minkan of-drop experiment illustrated in the figure below, an atomizer (a sprayer with a fine nozzle) is used to introduce many tiny droplets of oil between two oppositely charged parallel me plates. Some of the droplets pick up one or more excess electrons. The charge on the plates is adjusted so that the electric force on the excess electrons exactly balances the weight of the droplet. idea is to look for a droplet that has the smallest electric force and assume it has only one excess electron. Suppose we are using an electric field of 5.15 x 10 N/C. The charge on one electron is 160 x 10 C. Calculate the radius of an oil drop of density 894 kg/m³ for which its weight could be balanced by the electric force of this field on one electron Oil droplets Telescope with scale in eyepiece Pinhole Light
Say you have a point charge of one Coulomb and a hydrogen atom some distance away. Within what distance would the difference of forces on the proton and electron from the Coulomb charge exceed the attraction between the proton and electron that holds the hydrogen atom together. Treat the hydrogen atom as a proton and electron 0.53 × 10−10 m (a.k.a., one Bohr radius) apart.
The distance, r, between the proton and electron in the hydrogen atom is about 10^-10m. i) Calculate the electrostatic force between the electron and proton. ii) Determine the value of the potential energy U of the electron in the hydrogen atom. Express your result in electron-volts (eV). Recall 1 eV = 1.6 × 10^−19 J. iii) Determine the value of the kinetic energy of the electron. Express your result in eV. Please answer all parts.

Coulomb Force 1. Compare the electrostatic force between an electron and proton separated by 0.530 x 1010 m with the gravitational force between them. This distance is their average separation in a hydrogen atom.
4 Two charges, q1 = 15C and q2= 25C, they are separated in free space by 0.5 m distance. If a metal plate with € = 16.5 x 10-12 is introduced between them, what will be the coulomb force between these charges? Type your answer...
3. Two small aluminium spheres weighing 10 g each are suspended by 10-cm-long silk threads from two hooks separated 10 cm apart. When the spheres are uncharged, the silk threads are vertical due to the gravitational pull of the earth (the effect of gravity between the two spheres is negligible). A fraction of the electrons from each sphere is then removed, leaving behind a net positive electric charge on each sphere. Once the spheres are charged, they move away from each other causing the thread to hang at 45 degrees from vertical. a) What is the net positive charge on each sphere? Hint: The horizontal and vertical forces acting on each sphere must be equal for the net force to be along a 45 degree angle. b) Given that the atomic mass of Aluminium is 27 and the atomic number is 13, what percentage of total electrons of the aluminium spheres need to be taken away to achieve this scenario?

1. Consider four 1 Coulomb charges, arranged in a square, 1m on a side. a) What is the energy of a 1 Coulomb charge in the centre of the square? b) For fun (for some definitions of fun) express this quantity in terms of the energy released by the explosion of a ton of TNT. (What this really tells us is that a Coulomb is large amount of charge.)
