Section 15.3 Coulomb’s Law 1. A charge of 4.5 × 10−9 C is located 3.2 m from a charge of −2.8 × 10−9 C. Find the electrostatic force exerted by one charge on the other. 2. The Moon and Earth are bound together by gravity. If, instead, the force of attraction were the result of each having a charge of the same magnitude but opposite in sign, find the quantity of charge that would have to be placed on each to produce the required force. 3. An alpha particle (charge = +2.0e) is sent at high speed toward a gold nucleus (charge = +79e). What is the electrical force acting on the alpha particle when it is 2.0 × 10−14 m from the gold nucleus? 5. The nucleus of 8Be, which consists of 4 protons and 4 neutrons, is very unstable and spontaneously breaks into two alpha particles (helium nuclei, each consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons). (a) What is the force between the two alpha particles when they are 5.00 × 10−15 m apart, and (b) what will be the magnitude of the acceleration of the alpha particles due to this force? Note that the mass of an alpha particle is 4.0026 u. 7. Suppose that 1.00 g of hydrogen is separated into electrons and protons. Suppose also that the protons are placed at the Earth’s North Pole and the electrons are placed at the South Pole. What is the resulting compressional force on the Earth? 8. An electron is released a short distance above the surface of the Earth. A second electron directly below it exerts an electrostatic force on the first electron just great enough to cancel the gravitational force on it. How far below the first electron is the second? 9. Two identical conducting spheres are placed with their centers 0.30 m apart. One is given a charge of 12 × 10−9 C, the other a charge of −18 × 10−9 C. (a) Find the electrostatic force exerted on one sphere by the other. (b) The spheres are connected by a conducting wire. Find the electrostatic force between the two after equilibrium is reached. 10. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the Coulomb force on each of the three charges shown in Figure P15.10. Figure P15.10 (Problems 10 and 18) 14. Two small beads having positive charges 3q and q are fixed at the opposite ends of a horizontal insulating rod, extending from the origin to the point x = d. As shown in Figure P15.14, a third small charged bead is free to slide on the rod. At what position is the third bead in equilibrium? Can it be in stable equilibrium? Figure P15.14 16. A charge of 6.00 × 10−9 C and a charge of −3.00 × 10−9 C are separated by a distance of 60.0 cm. Find the position at which a third charge, of 12.0 × 10−9 C, can be placed so that the net electrostatic force on it is zero. Section 15.4 The Electric Field 17. An object with a net charge of 24 μC is placed in a uniform electric field of 610 N/C, directed vertically. What is the mass of the object if it “floats” in the electric field? 19. An airplane is flying through a thundercloud at a height of 2 000 m. (This is a very dangerous thing to do because of updrafts, turbulence, and the possibility of electric discharge.) If there are charge concentrations of +40.0 C at a height of 3 000 m within the cloud and −40.0 C at a height of 1000 m, what is the electric field E at the aircraft? 20. An electron is accelerated by a constant electric field of magnitude 300 N/C. (a) Find the acceleration of the electron. (b) Use the equations of motion with constant acceleration to find the electron’s speed after 1.00 × 10−8 s, assuming it starts from rest. 21. A Styrofoam® ball covered with a conducting paint has a mass of 5.0 × 10−3 kg and has a charge of 4.0 μC. What electric field directed upward will produce an electric force on the ball that will balance its weight? 22. Each of the protons in a particle beam has a kinetic energy of 3.25 × 10−15 J. What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 1.25 m?
