A current of 25 ?A flows when the distance of separation is reduced to 0.1 cm and the field is kept constant at the previous value. Find also the value of γ if the breakdown took place when the gap distance was changed to 0.7 cm.
A negatively charged (-121 uC) block is sitting on a
frictionless, flat surface. This 12 kg block is attached to a
vertical wall with a horizontal, 0.39 m long string that is
under a tension of 100 N. Embedded in the wall (on
the other side of the string) is another charge. What is
the charge of this embedded charge in the wall?
Assume that the block is stuck in place.
