Thor is battling the Frost Giants and he uses his hammer, Mjolnir, to zap them with lightning. Thor unleashes a bolt toward the nearest Giant. Mjolnir has an electric potential of zero and the Frost Giant has an electric potential of either +1.9 × 108 V or -1.9 × 108 V (you will decide during part 1 of the question). In order for electricity to conduct through dry air, the electric field between Thor and the Frost Giant must have a magnitude of 3.2 x 106 V m A negatively charged hydroxide ion (OH¯) in the lightning bolt travels away from Thor. OH ions hold a charge of -1.6 × 10-¹⁹ C and they have a mass of 2.82 × 10-26 kg. The OH- ion speeds up from rest to a velocity of 6.3 × 105 m.

A parallel plate capacitor is made from two aluminum foil sheets, each 3.8cm wide and 6.1 m long. Between the sheets is a Teflon strip of the same width and length that is 0.025mm thick. What is the energy stored in the capacitor when the charge on the capacitor is 30 uC?
1. As was mentioned in class, in air you need an electric field of strength 3x10° V/m to rip some electrons off the air and make a spark. The spark plugs in your car have a gap between their electrodes of around0.025 inches. (a) What's the voltage difference you need to apply to the two electrodes in order to get the spark plug to actually spark? (b) what happens to the needed potential when you increase the separation between electrodes and why? (c) find the voltage needed to spark if the gap increases to 0.050 inches. (d) Why might re-gapping your plugs help a rough-running engine?

Two metal plates are charged such that there is a 10 V potential difference between them. A positive charge is to be moved from the lower plate to the top plate. Starting from the point on the lower plate, following which path to the top plate will we do the least work moving the charge?
Two plates separated by a distance d = 15.3 mm are charged to a potential difference V = 7.25 V. A constant force F = 8.31 N pushes a –8.30 mC charge from the positively charged plate to the negatively charged plate. Calculate the change in the kinetic energy AK, potential energy AU, and total energy AE of the charge as it travels from one plate to the other. Assume the initial speed of the charge is 0. AK = AU =

You are working in a laboratory, using very sensitive measurement equipment. Your supervisor has explained that the equipment is also very sensitive to electrical discharge from human operators. Specification tables for the equipment indicate that an electrical discharge providing even a very small amount of energy of 250 μJ is enough to damage the equipment. Your supervisor wants to install an apparatus that will be used to remove the electrical charge from individuals’ bodies before they touch the equipment. To do this, she asks you to estimate (a) the capacitance of the human body and determine (b) the charge on the body and (c) the electric potential of the body, relative to a point infinitely far away, corresponding to the energy transfer that will damage the equipment.
