ELECTROMAGNETISM P60 008 The
diagram shows two parallel horizontal metal plates connected to a battery.
Suspended between the plates is a charged particle of mass 9.6´10-6 kg. (A) Using conventional
symbols, draw the electric field between the metal plates. (B) Determine the
magnitude of the electric field between the plates. (C) Determine the sign and magnitude of the charge on the particle if it is suspended motionless between the plates.
View solution below only after you have completed the answering the question. |
Solution m = 9.6´10-6 kg V = 49 V d = 20 mm = 20´10-3 m E = ? V.m-1 q = ? C
uniform electric field electric force (up) = gravitational force (down) charge must be positive
