Chapter 22, Problem 81P

An electric field E with an average magnitude of about 150 N/C points downward in the atmosphere near Earth’s surface. We wish to “float” a sulfur sphere weighing 4.4 N in this field by charging the sphere. (a) What charge (both sign and magnitude) must be used? (b) Why is the experiment impractical?

An electric field with an average magnitude of about 150 N/C points downward in the atmosphere near Earth’s surface.We wish to “float” a sulfur sphere weighing 4.4 N in this field by charging the sphere. (a) What charge (both sign and magnitude) must be used? (b) Why is the experiment impractical?
Earth has a net charge that produces an electric field of approximately 150 N/C downward at its surface. (a)  What is the amount of excess charge on the Earth, noting the electric field of a conducting sphere is equivalent to a point charge at its center, in coulombs?  (b)  What magnitude of acceleration, in meters per second squared, will the field produce on a free electron near Earth’s surface?  (c)  What mass object, in kilograms, with a single extra electron will have its weight supported by this field?
The electric field near the surface of the earthpoints downward and has a magnitude of60 N/C.Compare the upward electric force on anelectron with the downward gravitationalforce; i.e., what is the ratio FeFg? The elementary charge is 1.6 × 10−19 C and the massof an electron is 9.11 × 10−31 kg.   What is the magnitude of the charge thatshould be placed on a coin of mass 4.4 g sothat the electric force balances the weight ofthe coin near the earth’s surface?Answer in units of C.
