FIGURE Q23.3
Most workers in nanotechnology are actively monitored for excess static charge buildup. The human body acts like an insulator as one walks across a carpet, collecting −50 nC per step. What charge buildup will a worker in a manufacturing plant accumulate if she walks 21 steps?
charge buildup from 21 steps:
nC
How many electrons are present in that amount of charge?
electrons present:
If a delicate manufacturing process can be damaged by an electrical discharge greater than 1012 electrons, what is the maximum number of complete steps that any worker should be allowed to take before touching the components?
maximum number of steps:
A uniform electric field is indicated by electric field lines in the figure. The electric field magnitude is 850 V/m. A charge (-120µC) is moved along a
path from point "a" to point "b", and the length of the path is 10 centimeters. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electrostatic force acting on
the charge as you move the charge along the path.
