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.

- I am working on this review question and i couldn't come up with the correct solution. I need a well-explained solution so i can understand the solution and leverage this solution to answer more questions like this.arrow_forwardJaclyn gets accepted to a PA school in Idaho. And when she arrives she realizes that no matter where she goes in the state she cannot find a good signal. To fix this problem, Jaclyn attaches a 2 m long antenna and attaches it to her iPhone. If the antenna carries a 900 µμC charge, what will be the force on a 5 µC that is 30 cm (0.3 m) away from it's center?

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_forward
- What 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? Assume no other charges are nearby. Express your answer using two significant figures: E= (what value) in (what units)? What is the direction of the electric field? Toward the positive charge Toward the negative charge P.S. I know nothing about this but I have a good idea are some quick google help. I feel like I understand the concept but I want to verify the work before I'm able to help a friend with this problem. It would be helpful if you can list all the steps- I can reverse engineer with no issues.arrow_forwardUse the following constants if necessary.

- An O2+ ion (16 amu) with a velocity of 2.9E+05 m/s enters perpendicularly to an electric field with strength 3.4E+04 N/C, as shown in figure below. The horizontal distance that the ion is in the electric field is 26 cm. How far vertically, in cm, is the ion when it exits the electric field? The distance between the plates is large enough that the deflection of the ion is not affected by that variable. A+" indicates a general ion of charge +1.arrow_forwardA cloud of 2.5x1019 electrons move past a given point every 2 seconds. How much is the intensity of charge flow?arrow_forwardYou have infinitely wide grounded conducting plates that have a finite thickness as shown in the figure. 바 ut H₁ Z q origin X tH tH = We want to find the voltage V(r) in the space between the conductors. A friend proposes to use the method of images. Their idea is to put i) a negative charge -q a distance d above the bottom surface of the top plate (at z 3d) and ii) put a negative charge -q at a distance d below the top surface of the bottom plate (at z = -d). Is the potential of the image charge distribution proposed a valid solution for the original problem? Briefly justify your answer.arrow_forward
