Concern an electric dipole in an electric field. Clinical studies suggest that an oscillating electric field can disrupt rapidly dividing tumor cells. Dividing cells form a structure called the mitotic spindle that is composed primarily of microtubules. Microtubules have a large electric dipole moment, and it is hypothesized that the response of the microtubules to an oscillating electric field interferes with cell division. (Figure 1) shows an electric dipole in a nonuniform electric field. Figure 1 of 1 Part A The dipole will rotate to a position in which the net torque is zero. Once in this position, Othere is no net force. Othere is a net force to the left. Othere is a net force to the right. Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback ▼

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a single-celled yeast that is often used as a model for eukaryotic cells, as it contains all of the important organelles of these cells. The genome of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as brewer's yeast, has been completely mapped, making it suitable for genetic engineering experiments. The amount of electric charge on the cell walls plays a significant role in the interaction of these cells with their environment. To determine -9 the electric charge on yeast cells, which is a function of their size, the cells are often placed in electric fields and their motion in these fields is measured. In one such experiment, Saccharomyces cells of mass 3.00 x 10- 9 placed at rest in a uniform electric field of magnitude 10.0 N/C were measured to be traveling with a speed of 3.10 x 102 um/s after traversing a distance of 20.0 μm along the direction of the electric field. What was the magnitude and sign of the charge on this batch of yeast cells? (a) magnitude (in…

This is the feedback I received about the first part as it was wrong. I still don't understand what to do for the first part. Your speed is too low. You may have calculated the speed of each red blood cell by assuming that they both started with identical speeds. Although it is possible for the cells to start with the same speed, it is not necessary, and the equal speed assumption does not produce the minimum relative speed for unequal charges. Relative speed is the speed of one cell measured from the perspective of the other cell. Treat the cells as if one cell starts at the relative speed ?� and the other starts from rest.
You use an electrical generator with a hand crank to power a small radio. While cranking, you note the voltage reading measured across a capacitor that is used to store all the energy you're cranking out using your muscles. After an hour, you see the voltage reading is 2.2V. The capacitor has a capacitance of 3.5 x10-6F. You averaged 3.4 rotations on the crank every second. How much energy did your muscles donate to the radio's capacitor? (Give your answer in x10-6J)

ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM. QUESTION. Two capacitors, one charged and the other u charged are connected in parallel. Prove that when equilibrium is reached, each capacitor carries a fraction of the initial charge equal to the ratio of its capacitance to the sum of the two capacitances. Show that the final energy is less than the initial energy, and derive a formula for the difference in terms of the initial charge and the capacitances of the capacitors.
