1. How do you find the gravitational potential of two masses for any position around them that is outside the masses? Specifically, take the Earth and the Moon as an example. We need big masses like these because G is so small. Gravity is very weak. When we do electricity, we can work with smaller amounts of matter and smaller distances because electrical forces are stronger than gravitational forces. Here are the numbers https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/factsheet/moonfact.html MEarth = 5.97 × 1024 kg (Mass of Earth) MMoon = 7.35 × 1022 kg (mass of Moon) RE-M = 3.85 × 108 m (average separation of Earth and Moon centers) REarth = 6.378 × 106 m (radius of Earth) RMoon = 1.738 × 106 m (radius of Moon)

Before liquid crystal display LCD computer and television screens, the screens were cathode-ray tube CRTS, in which a bean of electrons was shot towards a Phosphorescent screen at high speed and deflected by electric fields in order to direct the beam to the right place on the screen so that it would form the picture. In a typical television, the speed of the electrons is 1 x10^8 m/s. If the television set is placed so that the CRT beam is horizontal heading east in a place where the earths magnetic field is 5×10^-5 and points horizontally northward what will be the magnetic force on the electron?
