The direction of the electric field shown in each part of Figure 24.5 is that produced by the charge distribution in the wire. Justify the direction shown in each part, using the Coulomb force law and the definition of E = F/q, where q is a positive test charge.
The direction of the electric field shown in each part of Figure is that produced by the charge distribution in the wire.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
- The direction of the electric field is upward
- The value of electric field is zero.
- The direction of the electric field is downward
- The direction of the electric field is upward
Given info:
Justify the direction shown in each part, using the Coulomb force law and the definition of E=F/q, where q is a positive test charge?
Explanation:
Positive charge moves from positive to negative, so the direction of electric field in part a is towards upper direction.
The distances between the positive and negative charge in part b is zero, so the electric field value is zero, so there is direction.
Positive charge moves from positive to negative, so the direction of electric field in part c is towards downward direction.
Positive charge moves from positive to negative, so the direction of electric field in part a is towards upper direction.
Conclusion:
The direction of the electric field shown in each part of Figure is studied.

- An electron has an initial velocity of 2.4x106 m/s in the +x direction. It enters a uniform electric field E = 397 N/C which is in the +y direction. What is the ratio of the y-component of the velocity of the electron to the x-component of the velocity after traveling 5 cm in the +x direction in the field? (Your result must include 2 digit after the decimal point and maximum of 5% of error is accepted in your answer.

- For your friend’s Final Year Project his supervisor gave him a task to measure and explain the electrical properties of the atmospheric layer between 200 m to 300 m altitude above SQU. To make the analysis simple, he asks him to consider SQU campus as a circle with approximate diameter of 3.0 km. Your friend released an electric field sensor attached to a balloon up in the sky. After a while when he got the sensor back, he found that the field values are 210 N/C and 75.0 N/C at 200 m and 300 m altitudes respectively. The direction of electric field is found to be downwards. But he has no clue, what to extract out of this data. Can you help?arrow_forwardWhat is the magnitude of the electric field at a point midway between a -5.9 uC and a +8.2 uC charge 8.8 cm apart?
