Chapter 22, Problem 81P

An electric field E with an average magnitude of about 150 N/C points downward in the atmosphere near Earth’s surface. We wish to “float” a sulfur sphere weighing 4.4 N in this field by charging the sphere. (a) What charge (both sign and magnitude) must be used? (b) Why is the experiment impractical?

Earth has a net charge that produces an electric field of approximately 150 N/C downward at its surface. (a)  What is the amount of excess charge on the Earth, noting the electric field of a conducting sphere is equivalent to a point charge at its center, in coulombs?  (b)  What magnitude of acceleration, in meters per second squared, will the field produce on a free electron near Earth’s surface?  (c)  What mass object, in kilograms, with a single extra electron will have its weight supported by this field?
Silicon wafers are made to create the most groundbreaking invention of mankind - microprocessors. If two silicon wafers (assume dipoles), both with masses of 125 g, radii of 10 cm and thickness of 7 µm are placed close to each other, separated by a distance of 3 cm, what is the electric field strength experienced by an electron placed on the surface of the negatively charged wafer? What is the final velocity of the electron upon reaching the positively charged plate? How much power is generated by the electron in its travel?
This question checks that you can use the formula of the electric field due to a long, thin wire with charge on it. The field due to an infinitely long, thin wire with linear charge E = 12X Απερ η density is Imagine a long, thin wire with a constant charge per unit length of -2.3×10 C/m. What is the magnitude of the electric field at a point 10 cm from the wire (assuming that the point is much closer to the wire's nearest point than to either of its ends)? Give your answer in units of kN/C. -7
