You are working as an intern for a meteorological laboratory. You are out in the field taking measurements from a balloon that i atmosphere. Your supervisor has asked you to determine the average volume charge density at a certain height in the air. When the balloon is at an altitude of 700 m above the ground, the electric carrying equipment designed to measure electric fields in the field is measured to be 160 N/C directed downward. At 800 m above the ground, the electric field is 140 N/C downward. (a) Determine the average volume charge density (in C/m³) in the layer of air between these two elevations. (Enter the magnitude.) C/m³3 (b) Is this layer of air positively or negatively charged? O positively charged O negatively charged

Consider an object of mass 41.8 kg. Now imagine taking all the protons out of the object and stuffing them into a box. Also take all the electrons out of the object and stuff them in a second box. How much charge is contained in the box with all the protons? 8.00E+09 C 1.00E+09 C 2.00E+09 C 4.00E+09 C
Two parallel, flat, conducting plates with equal but opposite charges are separated by a uniform layer of insulating material with a dielectric constant of 7.1 and a thickness of 1.7mmmm. The electric field in the dielectric material is 2.22MV/mMV/m. What is the magnitude, in microcoulombs per squared meter, of the surface charge density on the conducting plates?

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 this strength – 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 red blood cells each have a mass of 5.05 × 10-¹4 kg and carry a negative charge spread uniformly over their surfaces. The repulsion arising from the excess charge prevents the cells from clumping together. Once cell carries -2.60 pC of charge and the other -2.70 pC, and each cell can be modeled as a sphere 8.20 µm in diameter. What minimum relative speed u would the red blood cells need when very far away from each other to get close enough to just touch? Ignore viscous drag from the surrounding liquid. V = What is the magnitude of the maximum acceleration amax of each cell? Cmax = m/s m/s²
parallel-plate capacitors are widely used in electronics such as preventing direct current leakage. An electric field is generated between a pair of plates that has a surface charge density of 7.70 x 10^-6 C/m^2 The plates are seperated by 0.49 um. a) what is the magnitude of the electric field between the plates ? b) suppose the thickness of the plates doubled, would my answer increase, decrease, or remain the same?
Raindrops acquire an electric charge as they fall. Suppose a 2.4-mmmm-diameter drop has a charge of +12 pCpC. In a thunderstorm, the electric field under a cloud can reach 12,000 N/CN/C, directed upward. For a droplet exposed to this field, how do the magnitude of the electric force compare to those of the weight force? What is the direction of the electric force?
