- If the electric field at a point on the line between two charges is zero, what do you know about the charges?arrow_forwardThis afternoon, you have a physics symposium class, and you are the presenter. You will be presenting a topic to physics majors and faculty. You have been so busy that you have not had time to prepare and you dont even have an idea for a topic. You are frantically reading your physics textbook looking for an idea. In your reading, you have learned that the Earth carries a charge on its surface of about 105 C, which results in electric fields in the atmosphere. This gets you very excited about a new theory. Suppose the Moon also carries a charge on the order of 105 C, with the opposite sign! Maybe the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is due to electrical attraction between the Moon and the Earth! Theres an idea for your symposium presentation! You quickly jot down a few notes and run off to your symposium. While you are speaking, you notice one of the professors doing some calculations on a scrap of paper. Uh-oh! He has just raised his hand with a question. Why are you embarrassed?arrow_forwardA very small ball has a mass of 5.00 103 kg and a charge of 4.00 C. What magnitude electric field directed upward will balance the weight of the ball so that the ball is suspended motionless above the ground? (a) 8.21 102 N/C (b) 1.22 104 N/C (c) 2.00 102 N/C (d) 5.11 106 N/C (e) 3.72 103 N/Carrow_forward
- An object with negative charge is placed in a region of space where the electric field is directed vertically upward. What is the direction of the electric force exerted on this charge? (a) It is up. (b) It is down. (c) There is no force. (d) The force can be in any direction.arrow_forwardUsing the symmetry of the arrangement, determine the direction of the force on q in the figure below, given that qa=qb=+7.50C and qc = qd = 7.50C. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the force on the charge q, given that the square is 10.0 cm on a side and q = 2.00 C.arrow_forwarda. In Figure 23.8, why are there three plus signs on the red rod and three minus signs on the red cloth? b. Which object in Figure 23.8 has the greatest positive charge? How do you know?arrow_forward
- Lightning can be studied with a Van de Graaff generator, which consists of a spherical dome on which charge is continuously deposited by a moving belt. Charge can be added until the electric field at the surface of the dome becomes equal to the dielectric strength of air. Any more charge leaks off in sparks as shown in Figure P25.52. Assume the dome has a diameter of 30.0 cm and is surrounded by dry air with a "breakdown" electric field of 3.00 106 V/m. (a) What is the maximum potential of the dome? (b) What is the maximum charge on the dome?arrow_forwardReview. A particle with a charge of 60.0 nC is placed at the center of a nonconducting spherical shell of inner radius 20.0 cm and outer radius 25.0 cm. The spherical shell carries charge with a uniform density of 1.33 C/m3. A proton moves in a circular orbit just outside the spherical shell. Calculate the speed of the proton.arrow_forwardA point charge of 4.00 nC is located at (0, 1.00) m. What is the x component of the electric field due to the point charge at (4.00, 2.00) m? (a) 1.15 N/C (b) 0.864 N/C (c) 1.44 N/C (d) 1.15 N/C (e) 0.864 N/Carrow_forward
- If a negatively charged particle is placed at point B in Figure 16.3 and given a very small kick to the right, what will its subsequent motion be? Will it (a) go to the right and not return, (b) go to the left, (c) remain at point B, or (d) oscillate around point B?arrow_forwardUnder what conditions, if any, will the trajectory of a charged particle not follow a field line?arrow_forwardSuppose a woman carries an excess charge. To maintain her charged status can she he standing on just any pair of shoes? How would you discharge her? What are the consequences if she simply walks away?arrow_forward
