Consider the four particles shown, with q1 = –40.0 µC, q2 = –20.0 µC, q3 = 15.0 µC, and q4 = –25 µC. The square has sides of length a = 25.0 cm. a) What is the change in the electric potential energy of the system of the four charges in the configuration shown in the figure if they were originally infinitely far away? b) Charges q3 and q4 are now moved to points A and B, respectively. What is the change in potential energy of the system after these charges are moved? c) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the location of charge q4 due to the other three charges? d) What is the initial acceleration of the charge q4 due to the electric force exterted by the other three charges on q4 if m4 = 40.0 g? e) With what speed is charge q4 (with m4 = 40.0 g) moving when it is infinitely far away from the other charges?

Points A, B, and C form the vertices of a triangle in a non-uniform electrostatic field. The electrostatic work done on a particle of charge qq as the particle is moved from A to B is 12 J and electrostatic work done on the particle as it is moved from A to C is WAC = -12/2 Joules. How much electrostatic work (in J) is done on the particle if it is moved from B to C? Type your answer to within one decimal place. Use a period (full stop) for a decimal place, eg. 500.0 - Do not use a comma or input your answer in some form of scientific notation. Do NOT include units in your answer.

Consider a proton in a uniform electric field directed left to right, as shown in the figure. For both paths the initial speed of the proton is the same, but the direction of the initial velocity is different. Part (A) Compare the change in electric potential energy along path A to the change in electric potential energy along path B. ΔUA = ΔUB ΔUA > ΔUB There is not enough information given - we need either the initial speed or the size of the electric field. ΔUA < ΔUB Part (B) Compare the speed of the proton at the end of path A with the speed at the end of path B. vA = vB vA < vB It is impossible to tell - you need more information. vA > vB
