Chapter 21, Problem 55PE
Unreasonable Results
Suppose you have a 40.0-Ω galvanometer with a 25.0-μA sensitivity, (a) What resistance would you put in series with it to allow it to be used as a voltmeter that has a full-scale deflection for 0.500 mV? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are responsible?

A positive charge of 91 is located 5.11 m to the left of a negative charge 92. The
charges have different magnitudes. On the line through the charges, the net
electric field is zero at a spot 2.90 m to the right of the negative charge. On this
line there are also two spots where the potential is zero. (a) How far to the left of
the negative charge is one spot? (b) How far to the right of the negative charge is
the other?
A charge of -3.99 μC is fixed in place. From a horizontal distance of 0.0423 m, a
particle of mass 7.31 x 103 kg and charge -9.76 µC is fired with an initial speed
of 84.1 m/s directly toward the fixed charge. How far does the particle travel
before its speed is zero?
