a. Draw the electric field lines around a system that consists of two equal negative charges.
b. Calculate the electric force that exists between two objects that are 7.3 × 10 –2 m apart and carry charges of 4.5 × 10 –6 C and –7.2 × 10 –6 C. Is this force attractive or repulsive?
c. Write two or three sentences to explain the effect on the electric force between two charged objects if the amount of charge on one of the objects is doubled at the same time as the distance between the objects is doubled.

- Per screen shot -- electric charge idea -- attached, what is the mass in kg? I know first that F = ma. Then, when discussing electric charge, we have force defined in terms of charge in an electric field. So, the problem is to set up problem in those terms, step by step. Help me conceptually.arrow_forwardA simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, which depicts a uniform electric field between two plates.

At this time he decided to devote his energy to scientific investigations. It wasn’t until he was nearly 50 years old that he began his career as a statesman. When he was experimenting with atmospheric electricity and lightning, Franklin naturally wanted to know when a charged thundercloud was approaching. He set up the alarm shown here. Briefly explain how it worked.arrow_forward
