Chapter 23, Problem 8P
When a shower is turned on in a dosed bathroom, the splashing of the water on the bare tub can fill the room’s air with negatively charged ions and produce an electric field in the air as great as 1000 N/C. Consider a bathroom with dimensions 2.5 m × 3.0 m × 2.0 m. Along the ceiling, floor, and four walls, approximate the electric field in the air as being directed perpendicular to the surface and as having a uniform magnitude of 600 N/C. Also, treat those surfaces as forming a closed Gaussian surface around the room’s air. What are (a) the volume charge density ρ and (b) the number of excess elementary charges e per cubic meter in the room’s air?

The velocity of a particle (m= 10 mg, q= -4 microC) at a t=0 is 20m/s in the positive x-direction. If the particle moves in a uniform electric field of 20 N/C in the positive x-direction, what is the particle's velocity (in m/s) at t = 11.9 s ?
A small object with mass m, charge q, and initial speed v = 6.00×103 m/s is projected into a uniform electric field between two parallel metal plates of length 26.0 cm. The electric field between the plates is directed downward and has magnitude E = 800 N/C . Assume that the field is zero outside the region between the plates. The separation between the plates is large enough for the object to pass between the plates without hitting the lower plate. After passing through the field region, the object is deflected downward a vertical distance d = 1.25 cm from its original direction of motion and reaches a collecting plate that is 56.0 cm from the edge of the parallel plates. Ignore gravity and air resistance. Calculate the object's charge-to-mass ratio, q/m.
