- 3. Biologists often study the patterns of migratory birds by using radar (1-10 GHz electromag- netic waves) to track their flight. To check whether radar waves influence the birds' flight, researchers tracked the birds visually, both with the radar on and with it off. The 9 GHz radar waves had an intensity of 400 W/m² at 250 m. What was the amplitude of the electric field at this distance? (The experiments showed that the radar did not affect the birds.)arrow_forwardA ball of mass M is suspended by an insulating string between two parallel metal plates. If the intensity of the electric field is E, what is the magnitude and sign of the charge that had to be placed on the ball so that the tension in the string is zero? Omarrow_forward2) Consider a beam of electron so that each has a kinetic energy of 1.95 x 10-15 J. We want to set up an electric field parallel to the beam that stops the electrons after they've crossed a distance of 0.14m? What is the electric field strength that we need?arrow_forward

QUESTIONS 1. Why are the equipotential lines near conductor surfaces parallel to the surface and why per- pendicular to the insulator surface mapped? 2. Is it possible for two different equipotential lines or two lines of force to cross? Explain. 3. Explain, with the aid of a diagram, why lines of force must be at right angles to equipotential lines. 4. Under what conditions will the field between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor be uni- form? 5. How does the electric field strength vary with distance from an isolated charged particle? 6.
