Thank you!arrow_forwardA solid plastic ball has a radius of 6.0 cm and has a charge of +3.o nC ( in nano-Coulombs) that is uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Imagine there is a proton being held 1.5 cm away from the surface of the solid plastic ball, and then the proton is released. The proton will accelerate away from the ball, as we know, due to the repulsive electric force. Assuming the ball doesn't move, how fast is the proton moving when it is 5.5 cm away from the surface of the ball?arrow_forward
- Levitation: The largest electric field strength you can create in air before dielectric breakdown (a spark) occurs is about 3.0 x 10°V/m. Suppose you created an electric field with this strength – pointing directly upward – between a set of parallel plates that are 9.9cm apart. You want to use this system to levitate water droplets with a mass of 1.8g. (a) How much charge would you have to put on a droplet to make it levitate? (b) Suppose that 43 charged droplets are levitating and the field strength suddenly drops by 24 percent, to about 2.3 x 106 V/m, how quickly would the droplets accelerate?

In one type, known as an electrostatic precipitator, air passes between two oppositely charged metal plates, as shown. The large electric field between the plates ionizes dust and soot particles, which then feel a force due to the field. This force causes the charged particles to move toward and stick to one or the other plate, removing them from the air. A typical unit has dimensions and charges asshown. What is the electric field between the plates?arrow_forward
