4.1     ELECTRICITY

P41 007

(A)

A negatively charged cylinder is fixed in position near a positively charged plate. Sketch the electric field lines between the cylinder and the plate.

 

(B)

A tiny particle of mass 10-30 kg and charge +6×10-12 C is released at point Y. The particle initially accelerates at 7.0×1021 m.s-2. Calculate the electric field intensity at Y.

Solution

(A)

The electric field lines are perpendicular to the surface of the positively charged sheet.

(B)

m = 10-30 kg      q = +6×10-12 C      a = 7.0×1021 m.s-2
