Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 47P
GO What is the escape speed for an electron initially at rest on the surface of a sphere with a radius of 1.0 cm and a uniformly distributed charge of 1.6 × 10−15 C? That is, what initial speed must the electron have in order to reach an infinite distance from the sphere and have zero kinetic energy when it gets there?

17. Two charges, one of charge +2.5 × 10-5 C and the other of charge +3.7 × 10-6 C, are 25.0 cm apart.
The +2.5 × 10−5 C charge is to the left of the +3.7 × 10−6 C charge.
a. Draw a diagram showing the point charges and label a point Y that is 20.0 cm to the left of the
+3.7 × 10-6 C charge, on the line connecting the charges. (Field lines do not need to be drawn.)
b. Calculate the net electric field at point Y.
