In Fig. 24-61a, we move an electron from an infinite distance to a point at distance R — 8.00 cm from a tiny charged ball. The move requires work W = 2.16 × 10-13 J by us.

In Fig 24-6lb, the ball has been sliced up and the slices spread out so that an equal amount of charge is at the hour positions on a circular clock face of radius R = 8.00 cm. Now the electron is brought from an infinite distance to the center of the circle, (b) With that addition of the electron to the system of 12 charged particles, what is the change in the electric potential energy of the system?

- A particle with charge 1.60 1019 C enters midway between two charged plates, one positive and the other negative. The initial velocity of the particle is parallel to the plates and along the midline between them (Fig. P26.48). A potential difference of 300.0 V is maintained between the two charged plates. If the lengths of the plates are 10.0 cm and they are separated by 2.00 cm, find the greatest initial velocity for which the particle will not be able to exit the region between the plates. The mass of the particle is 12.0 1024 kg.
