QUESTION FIVE A. Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) intends to lay an infinitely long conductor with charge density and length L, on one of their project sites on the Copperbelt. As a Graduate Engineer working for Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC), you have been assigned to be the lead project Engineer You supervisor has tasked to apply Gauss law principles that you learned during your undergraduate studies to determine the electric field a point P, which is located at a distance r meters the from the conductor. Assuming a cylindrical Gaussian surface due to the symmetry of wire, clearly show how you would go about in executing this task.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure below, where a uniform electric field is created between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to continue moving. O (a) Calculate the acceleration of the electron if the field strength is 7.96 x 10¹ N/C. m/s² (b) Why will the electron not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole? O The force of gravity is too strong. The other side of the positive plate also has a negative charge. There is no field outside the plates.
An electron is moving horizontally at 3 x 10^6 m/s when it enters an electric field. If the electron deflects 0.9 cm downward in a distance of 2.5 cm determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field.
Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular aluminum plates, each 18 cm in diameter, separated by 1.0 cm. Part A How much charge can be added to each of the plates before a spark jumps between the two plates? For such flat electrodes, assume that value of 3 x 106 N/C of the field causes a spark. Express your answer with the appropriate units. qmax = μα Value Units ?
a. A charge of Q coulomb is uniformly distributed over a spherical volume of radius R metre. Obtain an expression for the energy of the system. b. What will be the corresponding expression for the energy needed to completely disassemble the planet earth against the gravitational pull amongst its constituent particles? Assume the earth to be a sphere of uniform mass density. Calculate this energy, given the product of the mass and the radius of the earth to be 2.5 × 10³1 kg m. c. If the same charge of Q coulomb as in part (a) above is given to a spherical conductor of the same radius R, what will be the energy of the system?
C) The lightning is formed when current starts to flow between the two spheres. Explain at least two different non obvious facts about what is going on inside and around these “lightning bolts”. If a direction is involved with your facts, give that direction.
m A particle of charge q=2.5nC and mass m =16µg has an initial velocity of vo=47 directly toward an infinite line charge λ=161". The charge q is initially a distance ro = 82cm from the line charge. As the charge approaches the line it comes to a momentary stop. Determine the distance the charge is from the line when it comes to a stop (in cm).
