Nerve cells in your body can be electrically stimulated; a large enough change in a membrane potential triggers a nerve impulse. Certain plants work the same way. A touch to mimosa pudica, the “sensitive plant,” causes the leaflets to fold inward and droop. We can trigger this response electrically as well. In one experiment, investigators placed electrodes on the thick tissue at the base of a leaf. The electrodes were 3.5 mm apart. When the electrodes were connected to a 47 μF capacitor charged to 1.5 V, this stimulated a response from the plant.a. Eventually, all the charge on the capacitor was transferred to the plant. How much charge was transferred?b. What was the approximate electric field between the electrodes?
From Table B, plot C vs d
Will A or B have a greater change in kinetic energy or will they be equal?
A -2.87 µC charge is placed at the center of a conducting spherical shell, and a total charge of +8.70 µC is placed on the shell itself. Calculate the total charge on the outer surface of the conductor.

C) The lightning is formed when current starts to flow between the two spheres. Explain at least two different non obvious facts about what is going on inside and around these “lightning bolts”. If a direction is involved with your facts, give that direction.
A proton's speed as it passes point A is 4.00×104 m/s. It follows the trajectory shown in the figure. What is the proton's speed at point B?
An electron travels with = 5.50 x 106 m/s through a point in space where E = (2.30 x 105 -2.30 x 1053) V/m and B = -0.100 k T.
You are working in a laboratory, using very sensitive measurement equipment. Your supervisor has explained that the equipment is also very sensitive to electrical discharge from human operators. Specification tables for the equipment indicate that an electrical discharge providing even a very small amount of energy of 250 μJ is enough to damage the equipment. Your supervisor wants to install an apparatus that will be used to remove the electrical charge from individuals’ bodies before they touch the equipment. To do this, she asks you to estimate (a) the capacitance of the human body and determine (b) the charge on the body and (c) the electric potential of the body, relative to a point infinitely far away, corresponding to the energy transfer that will damage the equipment.
