Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 6P
This afternoon, you have a physics symposium class, and you are the presenter. You will be presenting a topic to physics majors and faculty. You have been so busy that you have not had time to prepare and you don’t even have an idea for a topic. You are frantically reading your physics textbook looking for an idea. In your reading, you have learned that the Earth carries a charge on its surface of about 105 C, which results in electric fields in the atmosphere. This gets you very excited about a new theory. Suppose the Moon also carries a charge on the order of 105 C, with the opposite sign! Maybe the orbit of the Moon around the Earth is due to electrical attraction between the Moon and the Earth! There’s an idea for your symposium presentation! You quickly jot down a few notes and run off to your symposium. While you are speaking, you notice one of the professors doing some calculations on a scrap of paper. Uh-oh! He has just raised his hand with a question. Why are you embarrassed?

Flying insects such as bees may accumulate a small positive electric charge as they fly. In one experiment, the mean electric charge of 50 bees was measured to be ++(30 ±± 5) pCpC per bee. Researchers also observed the electrical properties of a plant consisting of a flower atop a long stem. The charge on the stem was measured as a positively charged bee approached, landed, and flew away. Plants are normally electrically neutral, so the measured net electric charge on the stem was zero when the bee was very far away. As the bee approached the flower, a small net positive charge was detected in the stem, even before the bee landed. Once the bee landed, the whole plant became positively charged, and this positive charge remained on the plant after the bee flew away. By creating artificial flowers with various charge values, experimenters found that bees can distinguish between charged and uncharged flowers and may use the positive electric charge left by a previous bee as a cue…

- I am working on this review question and i couldn't come up with the correct solution. I need a well-explained solution so i can understand the solution and leverage this solution to answer more questions like this.arrow_forwardYou are working on a research project in which you must control the direction of travel of electrons using deflection plates. You have devised the apparatus shown in the figure below. The plates are of length ℓ = 0.250 m and are separated by a distance d = 1.38 cm. Electrons are fired at vi = 5.20 ✕ 106 m/s into a uniform electric field from the left edge of the lower, positive plate, aimed directly at the right edge of the upper, negative plate. Therefore, if there is no electric field between the plates, the electrons will follow the broken line in the figure. With an electric field existing between the plates, the electrons will follow a curved path, bending downward.
