Electric Fields, Electric Potential Energy, and Electric Potential Electric Fields (Note: The charge on the electron is 1.60 x 10-19C) 1. A positive charge of 1.0 x 10-5 C experiences a force of .20 N when located at a certain point. What is the electric field intensity at that point? 2. What charge exists on a test charge that experiences a force of 1.4 x 10-8 N at a point where the electric field intensity is 2.0 x 10-4 N/C? 3. The electric field is the atmosphere is about 150 N/C downward. a. What is the direction of the force on a positively-charged particle? b. Find the electric force on a proton with charge +1.6 x 10-19 C c. Compare the force in part b with the force of gravity on the same proton (mass 1.7 x 10-27 kg). 4. A charge, q1 = 5.00 μC, is at the origin, and a second charge q2 = -3.00 μC, is on the x-axis is 0.800 m from the origin. Find the electric field at a point on the y-axis 0.500 m from the origin. Be sure to draw a diagram including all of the charges and the electric field vectors. Diagram: 5. A proton and an electron in a hydrogen atom are separated on the average by about 5.3 X 10-11 m. What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field set up by the proton at the position of the electron? 6. If 120 J of work are done to move one coulomb of charge from a positive plate to a negative plate, what voltage difference exists between the plates? 7. How much work is done to transfer .15 C of charge through a potential difference of 9.0 V? Electric Potential Energy 8. Two alpha particles (helium nuclei), each consisting of two protons and two neutrons, have an electrical potential energy of 6.32 x 10-19J. What is the distance between these particles at this time? 9. In a charging process, 1013 electrons are removed from a metal sphere and placed on a second sphere that is initially uncharged. Then the electrical potential energy associated with the two spheres is found to be -0.072 J. 10. A charge moves a distance of 2.0 cm in the direction of a uniform electric field having a magnitude of 215 N/C. The electrical potential energy of the charge decreases by 6.9 x 10-19 J as it moves. Find the magnitude of the charge on the moving particle. (Hint: The electrical potential energy depends on the distance moved in the direction of the field.) Electrical Potential 11. Find the Electric Potential at a point 1.0 cm from a proton. 12. Two point charges of magnitude 5.0 nC and -3.0 nC are separated by 35.0 cm. What is the electric potential at a point midway between the charges? 13. Four particles with charges of 5.0 μC, 3.0 μC, 3.0 μC, and -5.0 μC, are placed at the corners of a 2.0 m x 2.0 m square. Determine the electric potential at the center of the square. Work done on a Charge, Uniform Electric Fields, and Capacitors Work done on a charge moving through an electric field 1.
