- A 3.35×10−5 kg3.35×10−5 kg positively charged ball with charge ?=7.75×10−6 Cq=7.75×10−6 C is resting on a flat, frictionless horizontal surface. For a time of ?=0.255 s,t=0.255 s, a constant electric field of magnitude ?=635 N/CE=635 N/C is directed vertically to the ball, which makes the ball rise to a height of ?.d. After this time, the electric field is turned off and the ball returns to the surface.
