Question
A water droplet of mass 3.00 x 10-12 kg is located in the air near the ground during a stormy day. An atmospheric electric field of magnitude 6.00 x 103 N/C points vertically downward in the vicinity of the water droplet. The droplet remains suspended at rest in the air. What is the electric charge on the droplet?

- The positive and negative plates of a parallel-plate capacitor have an area of 1.60 cm by 1.60 cm. Their surface charge densities are +1.00×10-6 C/m2and -1.00×10-6 C/m2, respectively. A proton moving parallel to the plates enters the middle of the space between them at a speed of 2.65×106 m/s. Assuming the field outside the capacitor is 0 and the field inside is uniform, how far to the side will the proton's path have deviated when it gets to the far end of the capacitor?arrow_forwardA small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of 7010 N/C. The mass of the water drop is 4.36 × 10-9 kg. How many excess electrons or protons reside on the drop?arrow_forwardA total charge of 4.69 C is distributed on two metal spheres. When the spheres are 10.00 cm apart, they each feel a repulsive force of 4.1*10^11 N. How much charge is on the sphere which has the lower amount of charge?arrow_forward
- A horizontal electron beam consists of electrons moving at 2000 m/s through two parallel, horizontal plates that are 0.01 m long and generate a uniform and constant 0.5 N/C electric field that points upward. What is the vertical component of the electron's velocity upon exiting the field in m/s? Assume the plate separation is sufficient that you do not need to worry about the electrons hitting the plate.arrow_forwardWhat magnitude charge creates a 1.0 N/C electric field at a point 1.0 m away?arrow_forwardSingly-ionized helium contains two protons and one electron (there are also neutrons, but they have net zero charge and are not pertinent to this problem). Suppose the electron is located a distance of 2.65 × 10^-11 m from the nucleus. Place the nucleus at the origin of your coordinate system and the electron on the positive-x axis. What is the position on the x-axis at which the electric field is zero?arrow_forward

If the particle is moving with a speed of 18m/s when it is 8.00cm away from the sheet, does the particle strike the sheet? If so, what is the particle’s speed just before hitting the sheet?
