GO Figure 21-35 shows electrons 1 and 2 on an x axis and charged ions 3 and 4 of identical charge −q and at identical angles θ. Electron 2 is free to move; the other three particles are fixed in place at horizontal distances R from electron 2 and are intended to hold electron 2 in place. For physically possible values of q ≤ 5e, what are the (a) smallest, (b) second smallest, and (c) third smallest values of θ for which electron 2 is held in place?

- The figure shows a proton (p) on the central axis through a disk with a uniform charge density due to excess electrons. Three of those electrons are shown: ec at the disk center and electrons es at opposite sides of the disk, at radius R = 1.49 cm from the center. The proton is initially at distance z = R = 1.49 cm from the disk. At that location, what are the magnitudes of (a) the electric field E→c due to the electron ec and (b) the net electric field E→s,net due to electrons es? The proton is then moved to z = R/10.0. What then are the magnitudes of (c)E→c and (d) E→s,net? Note that the magnitude of E→c increases while the magnitude of E→s,net decreases.arrow_forwardA charged nonconducting rod, with a length of 2.00 m and a cross-sectional area of 4.00 cm2, lies along the positive side of an x axis with one end at the origin.
