1. We note that the symbol q2 is used in the problem statement to mean the absolute value of the negative charge which resides on the larger shell. The following sketch is for q1 =q2 .The following two sketches are for the cases q1 q2 (left figure) and q1 q2 (right figure). 2. (a) We note that the electric field points leftward at both points. Using F =q0 E ,and orienting our x axis rightward (so points right in the figure), we find i .F =16 10-19 C -40 c h FGH N i =6.4 10-18 N i C IJ K which means the magnitude of the force on the proton is 6.4 10 18 N and its direction (- is leftward. i) (b) As the discussion in 22-2 makes clear, the field strength is proportional to the "crowdedness" of the field lines. It is seen that the lines are twice as crowded at A than at B, so we conclude that EA =2EB. Thus, EB =20 N/C. 3. The following diagram is an edge view of the disk and shows the field lines above it. Near the disk, the lines are perpendicular to the surface and since the disk is uniformly charged, the lines are uniformly distributed over the surface. Far away from the disk, the lines are like those of a single point charge (the charge on the disk). Extended back to the disk (along the dotted lines of the diagram) they intersect at the center of the disk. If the disk is positively charged, the lines are directed outward from the disk. If the disk is negatively charged, they are directed inward toward the disk. A similar set of lines is associated with the region below the disk. 4. We find the charge magnitude q from E =q /40r2: q =4 0 Er 2 (1.00 N C )(1.00 m ) =8.99 10 N m C 9 2 2 2 =1.11 10-10 C. 5. Since the magnitude of the electric field produced by a point charge q is given by E =q / 4 0 r 2 ,where r is the distance from the charge to the point where the field has magnitude E, the magnitude of the charge is q =4 0 r 2 E =( 0.50 m ) ( 2.0 N C ) =5.6 10-11 C. 2 8.99 109 N m 2 C2 6. With x1 =6.00 cm and x2 =21.00 cm, the point midway between the two charges is located at x =13.5 cm. The values of the charge are q1 =q2 =2.00 10 7 C, and the magnitudes and directions of the individual fields are given by: E1 =E2 =q1 =(3.196 105 N C)i i 2 4 0 ( x -x1 ) q2 =(3.196 105 N C)i i 4 0 ( x -x1 ) 2 Thus, the net electric field is Enet =E1 +E2 =(6.39 105 N C)i 7. Since the charge is uniformly distributed throughout a sphere, the electric field at the surface is exactly the same as it would be if the charge were all at the center. That is, the magnitude of the field is E= q 4 0 R 2 where q is the magnitude of the total charge and R is the sphere radius. (a) The magnitude of the total charge is Ze, so .8.99 109 N m2 C 2 94 160 10-19 C Ze E= 3.07 1021 N C .2 -15 4 0 R 2 6.64 10 m c c hb gc h h (b) The field is normal to the surface and since the charge is positive, it points outward from the surface. 8. (a) The individual magnitudes E1 and E2 are figured from Eq. 22-3, where the absolute value signs for q2 are unnecessary since this charge is positive. Whether we add the magnitudes or subtract them depends on if E1 is in the same, or opposite, direction as E 2 .At points left of q1 (on the x axis) the fields point in opposite directions, but there is no possibility of cancellation (zero net field) since E1 is everywhere bigger than E2 in this region. In the region between the charges (0 x L) both fields point leftward and there is no possibility of cancellation. At points to the right of q2 (where x L), E1 points leftward and E2 points rightward so the net field in this range is Enet =E2 -E1 .i Although q1 q2 there is the possibility of E net =0 since these points are closer to q2 than to q1. Thus, we look for the zero net field point in the x L region: E1 =E2 q2 1 q1 1 =2 4 0 x 4 0 ( x -L )2 ( ) which leads to q2 x-L 2 =x q1 5 Thus, we obtain x =L 2.72 L .1- 2 5 (b) A sketch of the field lines is shown in the figure below: 9. At points between the charges, the individual electric fields are in the same direction and do not cancel. Since charge q2= 4.00 q1 located at x2 =70 cm has a greater magnitude than q1 =2.1 10-8 C located at x1 =20 cm, a point of zero field must be closer to q1 than to q2. It must be to the left of q1. Let x be the coordinate of P, the point where the field vanishes. Then, the total electric field at P is given by E= 1 4 0 q2 q1 -2 ( x -x2 ) ( x -x1 )2 If the field is to vanish, then q2 q1 =2 ( x -x2 ) ( x -x1 )2 q2 ( x -x2 ) 2 .q1 ( x -x1 )2 Taking the square root of both sides, noting that q2 / q1 =4, we obtain x -70 =2.0 .x -20 Choosing 2.0 for consistency, the value of x is found to be x =30 cm. 10. We place the origin of our coordinate system at point P and orient our y axis in the direction of the q4 =12q charge (passing through the q3 =3q charge). The x axis is perpendicular to the y axis, and thus passes through the identical q1 =q2 =5q charges. The individual magnitudes E1 ,E2 ,E3 ,and E4 are figured from Eq. 22-3, where the absolute value signs for q1, q2, and q3 are unnecessary since those charges are positive (assuming q 0). We note that the contribution from q1 cancels that of q2 (that is, E1 =E2 ), and the net field (if there is any) should be along the y axis, with magnitude equal to E net =1 4 0 F q GH b2d g 4 2 -1 12q 3q q3 j= j 2 4 0 4d 2 d 2 d I JK FG H IJ K which is seen to be zero. A rough sketch of the field lines is shown below: 11. The x component of the electric field at the center of the square is given by Ex =q3 q1 q2 q4 1 cos 45 +2 2 2 4 0 (a / 2) (a / 2) (a / 2) (a / 2) 2 1 1 1 ( q1 +q2 -q3 -q4 ) 2 4 0 a / 2 2 =0. Similarly, the y component of the electric field is Ey =1 4 0 1 -q3 q1 q2 q4 cos 45 +2 2 2 (a / 2) (a / 2) (a / 2) (a / 2) 2 (8.99 10 =1 1 ( -q1 +q2 +q3 -q4 ) 4 0 a / 2 2 2 9 N m 2 / C2 ) (2.0 10-8 C) 1 =1.02 105 N/C. 2 (0.050 m) / 2 2 Thus, the electric field at the center of the square is E =E y =(1.02 105 N/C)j. j 12. By symmetry we see the contributions from the two charges q1 =q2 =e cancel each other, and we simply use Eq. 22-3 to compute magnitude of the field due to q3 =2e. (a) The magnitude of the net electric field is Enet =1 2e 1 2e 1 4e 4(1.60 10-19 ) =(8.99 109 ) =160 N/C. 4 0 r 2 4 0 (a / 2) 2 4 0 a 2 (6.00 10-6 ) 2 (b) This field points at 45.0 ,counterclockwise from the x axis. 13. (a) The vertical components of the individual fields (due to the two charges) cancel, by symmetry. Using d =3.00 m, the horizontal components (both pointing to the x direction) add to give a magnitude of Ex, net =2qd =1.38 10-10 N/C .4o (d2 +y2)3/2 (b) The net electric field points in the x direction, or 180 counterclockwise from the +x axis. 14. For it to be possible for the net field to vanish at some x 0, the two individual fields (caused by q1 and q2) must point in opposite directions for x 0. Given their locations in the figure, we conclude they are therefore oppositely charged. Further, since the net field points more strongly leftward for the small positive x (where it is very close to q2) then we conclude that q2 is the negative-valued charge. Thus, q1 is a positive-valued charge. We write each charge as a multiple of some positive number (not determined at this point). Since the problem states the absolute value of their ratio, and we have already inferred their signs, we have q1 =4 and q2 =Using Eq. 22-3 for the individual fields, we find Enet =E1 +E2 =4 2 4o (L +x) 4o x2 for points along the positive x axis. Setting Enet =0 at x =20 cm (see graph) immediately leads to L =20 cm. (a) If we differentiate Enet with respect to x and set equal to zero (in order to find where it is maximum), we obtain (after some simplification) that location: 13 1 23 x =3 2 +3 4 +3 L =34 cm. We note that the result for part (a) does not depend on the particular value of .(b) Now we are asked to set =3e, where e =1.60 10-19 C, and evaluate Enet at the value of x (converted to meters) found in part (a). The result is 2.2 10-8 N/C .15. The field of each charge has magnitude E=k e b0.020 mg 2 =3.6 10-6 N C .The directions are indicated in standard format below. We use the magnitude-angle notation (convenient if one is using a vector-capable calculator in polar mode) and write (starting with the proton on the left and moving around clockwise) the contributions to E net as follows: b E -20 g +b E130 g +b E -100 g +b E -150 g +b E0 g. This yields c3.93 10 -76.4 h ,with the N/C unit understood. 6 (a) The result above shows that the magnitude of the net electric field is Enet =3.93 10-6 N/C. (b) Similarly, the direction of E net is 76.4 from the x axis. 16. The net field components along the x and y axes are Enet x =q1 q2 cos ,2 4oR 4oR2 Enet y =q2 sin .4oR2 The magnitude is the square root of the sum of the components-squared. Setting the magnitude equal to E =2.00 105 N/C, squaring and simplifying, we obtain E2 =q12 +q22 -2 q1 q2 cos .162o2 R4 With R =0.500 m, q1 =2.00 10- 6 C and q2 =6.00 10- 6 C, we can solve this expression for cos and then take the inverse cosine to find the angle. There are two answers. (a) The positive value of angle is =67.8 .(b) The positive value of angle is =67.8 .17. The magnitude of the dipole moment is given by p =qd, where q is the positive charge in the dipole and d is the separation of the charges. For the dipole described in the problem, p =160 10-19 C 4.30 10-9 m =6.88 10-28 C m .c hc h The dipole moment is a vector that points from the negative toward the positive charge. 18. According to the problem statement, Eact is Eq. 22-5 (with z =5d) q 40 q q 2 2 2 =4o (5.5d) 4o (4.5d) 9801 o d and Eapprox is q qd 2. 3 =2o (5d) 250o d The ratio is therefore Eapprox Eact =0.9801 0.98. 19. Consider the figure below. (a) The magnitude of the net electric field at point P is Enet =2 E1 sin =2 1 q 2 2 d /2 4 0 ( d / 2 ) +r ( d / 2) 2 +r2 =1 4 0 qd ( d / 2) 2 +r2 3/ 2 For r d ,we write [(d/2)2 +r2]3/2 r3 so the expression above reduces to Enet qd .4 0 r 3 1 (b) From the figure, it is clear that the net electric field at point P points in the -j direction, or -90 from the +x axis. 20. Referring to Eq. 22-6, we use the binomial expansion (see Appendix E) but keeping higher order terms than are shown in Eq. 22-7: q E =4o z2 =d 3 d2 1 d3 d 3 d2 1 d3 1 +z +4 z2 +2 z3 +1 -z +4 z2 -2 z3 +qd q d3 +4o z5 2o z3 Therefore, in the terminology of the problem, Enext =q d3/ 40z5. 21. Think of the quadrupole as composed of two dipoles, each with dipole moment of magnitude p =qd. The moments point in opposite directions and produce fields in opposite directions at points on the quadrupole axis. Consider the point P on the axis, a distance z to the right of the quadrupole center and take a rightward pointing field to be positive. Then, the field produced by the right dipole of the pair is qd/20(z d/2)3 and the field produced by the left dipole is qd/20(z +d/2)3. Use the binomial expansions (z d/2) 3 z 3 3z 4( d/2) and (z +d/2) 3 z 3 3z 4(d/2) to obtain E= Let Q =2qd 2. Then, 1 3d 1 3d 6qd 2 qd .4 -3+ 4 =2 0 z 3 2 z 2z 4 0 z 4 z LM N OP Q E= 3Q .4 0 z 4 22. We use Eq. 22-3, assuming both charges are positive. At P, we have Eleft ring =Eright ring 4 0 ( R 2 +R q1 R 2 3/ 2 ) =q2 (2 R) 4 0 [(2 R) 2 +R 2 ]3/ 2 Simplifying, we obtain q1 2 =2 q2 5 3/ 2 0.506. 23. (a) We use the usual notation for the linear charge density: q/L. The arc length is L =r if is expressed in radians. Thus, L =(0.0400 m)(0.698 rad) =0.0279 m. With q =300(1.602 10-19 C), we obtain =1.72 10-15 C/m. (b) We consider the same charge distributed over an area A =r2 =(0.0200 m)2 and obtain =q/A =3.82 10-14 C/m .(c) Now the area is four times larger than in the previous part (Asphere =4r2) and thus obtain an answer that is one-fourth as big: q/Asphere =9.56 10-15 C/m .(d) Finally, we consider that same charge spread throughout a volume of 4 r3/3 and obtain the charge density =charge/volume =1.43 10-12 C/m3. 24. From symmetry, we see that the net field at P is twice the field caused by the upper semicircular charge +q =R (and that it points downward). Adapting the steps leading to Eq. 22-21, we find Enet =2 -j ( ) sin 4 0 R 90 -90 =q j. 02 R2 (a) With R =8.50 10- 2 m and q =1.50 10-8 C, Enet =23.8 N/C. j (b) The net electric field Enet points in the -direction, or -90 counterclockwise from the +x axis. 25. Studying Sample Problem 22-4, we see that the field evaluated at the center of curvature due to a charged distribution on a circular arc is given by E= sin 4 0 r /2 -/ 2 along the symmetry axis where =q/r with in radians. In this problem, each charged quarter-circle produces a field of magnitude E =q 1 1 2 2 q /4 .[sin ]- / 4 =r / 2 4 0 r 4 0 r 2 That produced by the positive quarter-circle points at 45 ,and that of the negative quarter-circle points at +45 .(a) The magnitude of the net field is Enet, x =2 1 2 2 q 1 4 q (8.99 109 )4(4.50 10-12 ) =20.6 N/C. cos 45 =(5.00 10-2 ) 2 4 0 r 2 4 0 r 2 j (b) By symmetry, the net field points vertically downward in the -direction, or -90 counterclockwise from the +x axis. 26. We find the maximum by differentiating Eq. 22-16 and setting the result equal to zero. d qz dz 4 z 2 +R 2 0 F GG H c I q R -2z JJ =4 cz +R h h K 2 3/ 2 0 2 2 2 5/ 2 =0 which leads to z =R / 2 .With R =2.40 cm, we have z =1.70 cm. 27. (a) The linear charge density is the charge per unit length of rod. Since the charge is uniformly distributed on the rod, q -4.23 10-15 C =5.19 10-14 C/m. L 0.0815 m (b) We position the x axis along the rod with the origin at the left end of the rod, as shown in the diagram. Let dx be an infinitesimal length of rod at x. The charge in this segment is dq =dx .The charge dq may be considered to be a point charge. The electric field it produces at point P has only an x component and this component is given by dE x =dx 1 .4 0 L +a -x 2 b g The total electric field produced at P by the whole rod is the integral Ex =4 0 =L 0 dx ( L +a -x) 2 1 =4 0 L +a -x L 0 =1 1 -4 0 a L +a L 1 q ,4 0 a ( L +a ) 4 0 a ( L +a ) upon substituting -q =L .With q =4.23 10-15 C, L =0.0815 m and a =0.120 m, we obtain Ex =1.57 10-3 N/C .(c) The negative sign indicates that the field points in the x direction, or -180 counterclockwise form the +x axis. (d) If a is much larger than L, the quantity L +a in the denominator can be approximated by a and the expression for the electric field becomes Ex =q 4 0a 2 .Since a =50 m Ex =1.52 10 -8 L =0.0815 m, the above approximation applies and we have N/C ,or Ex =1.52 10-8 N/C .(e) For a particle of charge -q =4.23 10-15 C, the electric field at a distance a =50 m away has a magnitude Ex =1.52 10-8 N/C .28. First, we need a formula for the field due to the arc. We use the notation for the charge density, Q/L. Sample Problem 22-4 illustrates the simplest approach to circular arc field problems. Following the steps leading to Eq. 22-21, we see that the general result (for arcs that subtend angle ) is Earc =sin(/2) [sin(/2) -sin(-/2) ] =2o r 4o r Now, the arc length is L =r if is expressed in radians. Thus, using R instead of r, we obtain Earc =Q/L sin(/2) Q sin(/2) =2o R 2o R2 Thus, with =the problem asks for the ratio Eparticle / Earc where Eparticle is given by Eq. 22-3. We obtain Q / 4 0 R 2 =1.57. 2 Q sin( / 2) / 2 0 R 2 29. We assume q 0. Using the notation =q/L we note that the (infinitesimal) charge on an element dx of the rod contains charge dq =dx. By symmetry, we conclude that all horizontal field components (due to the dq's) cancel and we need only "sum" (integrate) the vertical components. Symmetry also allows us to integrate these contributions over only half the rod (0 x L/2) and then simply double the result. In that regard we note that sin =R/r where r =x 2 +R 2 .(a) Using Eq. 22-3 (with the 2 and sin factors just discussed) the magnitude is E =2 L2 0 dq 2 sin =2 4 0 r 4 0 L2 L2 0 dx x +R2 2 y x2 +R2 L2 R =2 0 =q dx 0 (x 2 +R2 ) L2 2 32 (q L) R =2 0 q 2 0 R =x R2 x2 +R2 1 L2 +4 R 2 0 2 0 LR ( L 2) +R2 where the integral may be evaluated by elementary means or looked up in Appendix E (item 19 in the list of integrals). With q =7.81 10-12 C ,L =0.145 m and R =0.0600 m, we have E =12.4 N/C .(b) As noted above, the electric field E +90 counterclockwise from the +x axis. points in the +y direction, or 30. From Eq. 22-26 2 z 5.3 10-6 C m 1- 2 0 C2 z 2 +R2 -12 2 8.85 10 E= 1- 12cm N m2 (12cm ) +( 2.5cm ) 2 2 =6.3 103 N C. 31. At a point on the axis of a uniformly charged disk a distance z above the center of the disk, the magnitude of the electric field is E= z 1- 2 0 z2 +R2 LM N OP Q where R is the radius of the disk and is the surface charge density on the disk. See Eq. 22-26. The magnitude of the field at the center of the disk (z =0) is Ec =/20. We want to solve for the value of z such that E/Ec =1/2. This means 1- z z +R 2 2 =1 2 1 =2 z +R 2 2 z Squaring both sides, then multiplying them by z2 +R2, we obtain z2 =(z2/4) +(R2/4). Thus, z2 =R2/3, or z =R 3 .With R =0.600 m, we have z =0.346 m. 32. We write Eq. 22-26 as z E =1 (z2 +R2)1/2 Emax and note that this ratio is 1 (according to the graph shown in the figure) when z =4.0 cm. 2 Solving this for R we obtain R =z 3 =6.9 cm. 33. We use Eq. 22-26, noting that the disk in figure (b) is effectively equivalent to the disk in figure (a) plus a concentric smaller disk (of radius R/2) with the opposite value of .That is, E(b) =E(a) where E(a) =2R 1- 2 2o (2R) +(R/2)2 2R 1- 2o (2R)2 +R2 We find the relative difference and simplify: 2 4+ 0.283 2 1- 4+1 1- E(a) E(b) E(a) or approximately 28%.34. (a) Vertical equilibrium of forces leads to the equality q E =mg E =mg .2e Using the mass given in the problem, we obtain E =2.03 10-7 N C .(b) Since the force of gravity is downward, then qE must point upward. Since q 0 in this situation, this implies E must itself point upward. 35. The magnitude of the force acting on the electron is F =eE, where E is the magnitude of the electric field at its location. The acceleration of the electron is given by Newton's second law: 160 10 -19 C 2.00 10 4 N C .F eE 2 a= 351 1015 m s .31 m m 9.11 10 kg c hc h 36. Eq. 22-28 gives E= F ma m =a q -e e FG IJ b g H K using Newton's second law. (a) With east being the i direction, we have E=-FG 9.11 10 .H 160 10 -31 -19 kg 2 180 109 m s i =0.0102 N C i .C IJ e K j which means the field has a magnitude of 0.0102 N/C (b) The result shows that the field E is directed in the x direction, or westward. 37. We combine Eq. 22-9 and Eq. 22-28 (in absolute values). F= qE= q FG p IJ =2kep H 2 z K z 3 3 0 where we have used Eq. 21-5 for the constant k in the last step. Thus, we obtain F= 2 8.99 10 9 N m 2 C 2 1.60 10 -19 C 3.6 10 -29 C m c hc hc h c25 10 mh -9 3 which yields a force of magnitude 6.6 10 15 N. If the dipole is oriented such that p is in the +z direction, then F points in the z direction. 38. (a) Fe =Ee =(3.0 106 N/C)(1.6 10 19 C) =4.8 10 13 N. (b) Fi =Eqion =Ee =4.8 10 13 N. 39. (a) The magnitude of the force on the particle is given by F =qE, where q is the magnitude of the charge carried by the particle and E is the magnitude of the electric field at the location of the particle. Thus, E= F 3.0 10-6 N .15 103 N C. 9 q 2.0 10 C The force points downward and the charge is negative, so the field points upward. (b) The magnitude of the electrostatic force on a proton is Fel =eE =(1.60 10-19 C ) (1.5 103 N C ) =2.4 10-16 N. (c) A proton is positively charged, so the force is in the same direction as the field, upward. (d) The magnitude of the gravitational force on the proton is Fg =mg =(1.67 10-27 kg ) 9.8 m s The force is downward. (e) The ratio of the forces is Fel 2.4 10-16 N =1.5 1010. Fg 1.64 10-26 N ( 2 ) =1.6 10 -26 N. 40. (a) The initial direction of motion is taken to be the +x direction (this is also the direction of E ). We use v 2 -vi2 =2ax with vf =0 and a =F m =eE me to solve for f distance x: 31 6 -vi2 -me vi2 -9.11 10 kg 5.00 10 m s x =7.12 10 -2 m. 3 -19 -2eE 2a -2 160 10 C 1.00 10 N C .c c hc hc h 2 h (b) Eq. 2-17 leads to -2 x 2 x 2 7.12 10 m t= 2.85 10 -8 s. 6 v avg vi 5.00 10 m s c h (c) Using v2 =2ax with the new value of x, we find 2 1 K ( 2 me v ) v 2 2ax -2eE x =1 =2 =2 =2 Ki vi vi me vi2 2 me vi =2 (1.60 10-19 C )(1.00 103 N C )( 8.00 10-3 m ) ( 9.11 10 -31 kg )( 5.00 106 m s ) 2 =0.112. Thus, the fraction of the initial kinetic energy lost in the region is 0.112 or 11.2%.41. (a) The magnitude of the force acting on the proton is F =eE, where E is the magnitude of the electric field. According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of the proton is a =F/m =eE/m, where m is the mass of the proton. Thus, c160 10 Chc2.00 10 a= 19 4 NC 167 10 .27 kg h =192 10 .12 ms .2 2 (b) We assume the proton starts from rest and use the kinematic equation v 2 =v0 +2ax 1 (or else x =at 2 and v =at) to show that 2 v =2ax =2 192 1012 m s .d 2 .ib0.0100 mg =196 10 m s. 5 42. When the drop is in equilibrium, the force of gravity is balanced by the force of the electric field: mg =qE, where m is the mass of the drop, q is the charge on the drop, and E is the magnitude of the electric field. The mass of the drop is given by m =(4/3)r3, where r is its radius and is its mass density. Thus, mg 4r g q=-E 3E 3 4 (1.64 10-6 m ) 851kg m 3 5 3 (1.92 10 N C ) ( 3 )(9.8 m s ) =8.0 10 2 -19 C and q/e =(-8.0 10 19 C)/(1.60 10 19 C) =5, or q =5e .43. (a) We use x =vavgt =vt/2: 2 2 x 2 2.0 10 m v= 2.7 106 m s. 8 15 10 s t .1 (b) We use x =2 at 2 and E =F/e =ma/e: c h -2 -31 ma 2 xm 2 2.0 10 m 9.11 10 kg E= 10 103 N C. 19 -8 2 e et 2 160 10 C 1.5 10 s .c c hc hc h h 44. We assume there are no forces or force-components along the x direction. We combine Eq. 22-28 with Newton's second law, then use Eq. 4-21 to determine time t followed by Eq. 4-23 to determine the final velocity (with g replaced by the ay of this problem); for these purposes, the velocity components given in the problem statement are re-labeled as v0x and v0y respectively. (a) We have a =qE / m =(e / m) E which leads to a=-1.60 10-19 C 9.11 10-31kg 120 N 2 j =(2.1 1013 m s ) j. C (b) Since vx =v0x in this problem (that is, ax =0), we obtain t= x 0.020 m .13 10-7 s 5 v0 x 1.5 10 m s v y =v0 y +a y t =3.0 103 m s +2.1 1013 m s d 2 ic1.3 10 sh -7 which leads to vy =2.8 106 m/s. Therefore, the final velocity is v =(1.5 105 m/s) -(2.8 106 m/s) j. i 45. We take the positive direction to be to the right in the figure. The acceleration of the proton is ap =eE/mp and the acceleration of the electron is ae =eE/me, where E is the magnitude of the electric field, mp is the mass of the proton, and me is the mass of the electron. We take the origin to be at the initial position of the proton. Then, the coordinate 1 1 of the proton at time t is x =2 a p t 2 and the coordinate of the electron is x =L +2 ae t 2 .They pass each other when their coordinates are the same, or means t2 =2L/(ap ae) and x= ap a p -ae L= 1 2 1 a p t 2 =L +2 ae t 2 .This ( eE m ) +( eE m ) p e eE m p L= me L me +m p 9.11 10 kg ( 0.050m ) 9.11 10-31 kg +1.67 10-27 kg -31 =2.7 10-5 m. 46. Due to the fact that the electron is negatively charged, then (as a consequence of Eq. 22-28 and Newton's second law) the field E pointing in the +y direction (which we will call "upward") leads to a downward acceleration. This is exactly like a projectile motion problem as treated in Chapter 4 (but with g replaced with a =eE/m =8.78 1011 m/s2). Thus, Eq. 4-21 gives t= x 3.00 m =1.53 x 107 m/s =1.96 10- 6 s. vo cos 40º This leads (using Eq. 4-23) to vy =vo sin 40º -a t =4.34 105 m/s .Since the x component of velocity does not change, then the final velocity is v =(1.53 106 m/s) i -(4.34 105 m/s) j .47. (a) Using Eq. 22-28, we find F =8.00 10-5 C 3.00 103 N C i +8.00 10-5 C -600 N C j c hc =b0.240N g i -b0.0480N g j. F= 2 h c hb g Therefore, the force has magnitude equal to ( 0.240N ) +( 0.0480N ) 2 =0.245N. (b) The angle the force F makes with the +x axis is =tan -1 Fy Fx =tan -1 -0.0480N =11.3 0.240N measured counterclockwise from the +x axis. (c) With m =0.0100 kg, the (x, y) coordinates at t =3.00 s can be found by combining Newton's second law with the kinematics equations of Chapters 2 4. The x coordinate is F t 2 ( 0.240 )( 3.00 ) 1 x =ax t 2 =x =108m. 2 2m 2 ( 0.0100 ) 2 (d) Similarly, the y coordinate is Fy t ( -0.0480 )( 3.00 ) 1 =21.6m. y =ayt 2 =2 2m 2 ( 0.0100 ) 2 2 48. We are given =4.00 10-6 C/m2 and various values of z (in the notation of Eq. 2226 which specifies the field E of the charged disk). Using this with F =eE (the magnitude of Eq. 22-28 applied to the electron) and F =ma, we obtain (a) The magnitude of the acceleration at a distance R is a= e (2 -2 ) =1.16 1016 m/s2 .4 m o (b) At a distance R/100, a= e (10001 -10001 ) =3.94 1016 m/s2 .20002 m o e (1000001 -1000001 ) =3.97 1016 m/s2 .2000002 m o (c) At a distance R/1000, a =(d) The field due to the disk becomes more uniform as the electron nears the center point. One way to view this is to consider the forces exerted on the electron by the charges near the edge of the disk; the net force on the electron caused by those charges will decrease due to the fact that their contributions come closer to canceling out as the electron approaches the middle of the disk. 49. (a) Due to the fact that the electron is negatively charged, then (as a consequence of Eq. 22-28 and Newton's second law) the field E pointing in the same direction as the velocity leads to deceleration. Thus, with t =1.5 10- 9 s, we find v =vo -a t =vo -m t =2.7 104 m/s .(b) The displacement is equal to the distance since the electron does not change its direction of motion. The field is uniform, which implies the acceleration is constant. Thus, d= v +v0 t =5.0 10-5 m. 2 eE 50. (a) Eq. 22-33 leads to =pE sin 0 =0. (b) With =90 ,the equation gives =pE =2 16 10-19 C 0.78 10-9 m .ec hc hj c3.4 10 N Ch =8.5 10 6 -22 N m. (c) Now the equation gives =pE sin180 =0. 51. (a) The magnitude of the dipole moment is p =qd =150 10-9 C 6.20 10-6 m =9.30 10-15 C m. c hc h (b) Following the solution to part (c) of Sample Problem 22-6, we find U 180 -U 0 =2 pE =2 9.30 10-15 1100 =2.05 10-11 J. b g bg c hb g 52. Using Eq. 22-35, considering as a variable, we note that it reaches its maximum value when =90 :max =pE. Thus, with E =40 N/C and max =100 10-28 N m (determined from the graph), we obtain the dipole moment: p =2.5 10-28 C m. 53. Following the solution to part (c) of Sample Problem 22-6, we find W =U ( 0 +) -U ( 0 ) =pE ( cos ( 0 +) -cos ( 0 ) ) =2 pE cos 0 =2(3.02 10-25 C m)(46.0 N/C)cos64.0 =1.22 10-23 J. 54. We make the assumption that bead 2 is in the lower half of the circle, partly because it would be awkward for bead 1 to "slide through" bead 2 if it were in the path of bead 1 (which is the upper half of the circle) and partly to eliminate a second solution to the problem (which would have opposite angle and charge for bead 2). We note that the net y component of the electric field evaluated at the origin is negative (points down) for all positions of bead 1, which implies (with our assumption in the previous sentence) that bead 2 is a negative charge. (a) When bead 1 is on the +y axis, there is no x component of the net electric field, which implies bead 2 is on the y axis, so its angle is 90 .(b) Since the downward component of the net field, when bead 1 is on the +y axis, is of largest magnitude, then bead 1 must be a positive charge (so that its field is in the same direction as that of bead 2, in that situation). Comparing the values of Ey at 0 and at 90 we see that the absolute values of the charges on beads 1 and 2 must be in the ratio of 5 to 4. This checks with the 180 value from the Ex graph, which further confirms our belief that bead 1 is positively charged. In fact, the 180 value from the Ex graph allows us to solve for its charge (using Eq. 22-3): q1 =4or E =4( 8.854 10-12 NCm2 )(0.60 m)2 (5.0 104 2 N C) =2.0 10- 6 C .(c) Similarly, the 0 value from the Ey graph allows us to solve for the charge of bead 2: q2 =4or E =4( 8.854 10-12 NCm2 )(0.60 m)2 ( 4.0 104 N ) =1.6 10- 6 C .C 2 55. Consider an infinitesimal section of the rod of length dx, a distance x from the left end, as shown in the following diagram. It contains charge dq =dx and is a distance r from P. The magnitude of the field it produces at P is given by dE =1 dx .4 0 r 2 The x and the y components are dEx =1 dx sin 4 0 r 2 1 dx cos ,4 0 r 2 and dE y =respectively. We use as the variable of integration and substitute r =R/cos ,x =R tan and dx =(R/cos2 ) d. The limits of integration are 0 and /2 rad. Thus, Ex =and Ey =4 0 R 2 0 4 0 R 2 0 sin d =cos 4 0 R 2 0 =4 0 R cosd =sin 4 0 R /2 0 =4 0 R We notice that Ex =Ey no matter what the value of R. Thus, E makes an angle of 45 with the rod for all values of R. 56. From dA =2r dr (which can be thought of as the differential of A =r ) and dq =dA (from the definition of the surface charge density ), we have dq =Q 2r dr R2 where we have used the fact that the disk is uniformly charged to set the surface charge density equal to the total charge (Q) divided by the total area (R2). We next set r =0.0050 m and make the approximation dr 30 10- 6 m. Thus we get dq 2.4 10-16 C. 57. Our approach (based on Eq. 22-29) consists of several steps. The first is to find an approximate value of e by taking differences between all the given data. The smallest difference is between the fifth and sixth values: 18.08 10 19 C 16.48 10 19 C =1.60 10 19 C which we denote eapprox. The goal at this point is to assign integers n using this approximate value of e: datum1 datum2 datum3 datum4 datum5 6.563 10-19 C =4.10 eapprox 8.204 10-19 C =5.13 eapprox 11.50 10-19 C =7.19 eapprox 13.13 10 C =8.21 eapprox 16.48 10-19 C =10.30 eapprox -19 n1 =4 n2 =5 n3 =7 n4 =8 datum6 datum7 datum8 datum9 18.08 10-19 C =11.30 eappeox 19.71 10-19 C =12.32 eapprox 22.89 10-19 C =14.31 eapprox 26.13 10-19 C =16.33 eapprox n6 =11 n7 =12 n8 =14 n9 =16 n5 =10 Next, we construct a new data set (e1, e2, e3 .) by dividing the given data by the respective exact integers ni (for i =1, 2, 3 .): be ,e ,e g =FGH 6.563 n10 1 2 3 1 -19 C 8.204 10-19 C 1150 10-19 C .n2 n3 IJ K which gives (carrying a few more figures than are significant) .c164075 10 -19 C, 1.6408 10-19 C, 1.64286 10-19 C h as the new data set (our experimental values for e). We compute the average and standard deviation of this set, obtaining .eexptal =eavg e =1641 0.004 10-19 C which does not agree (to within one standard deviation) with the modern accepted value for e. The lower bound on this spread is eavg e =1.637 10 19 C which is still about 2% too high. b g 58. (a) It is clear from symmetry (also from Eq. 22-16) that the field vanishes at the center. (b) The result (E =0) for points infinitely far away can be reasoned directly from Eq. 2216 (it goes as 1/z as z ) or by recalling the starting point of its derivation (Eq. 22-11, which makes it clearer that the field strength decreases as 1/r at distant points). (c) Differentiating Eq. 22-16 and setting equal to zero (to obtain the location where it is maximum) leads to q(R2 -2 z2) dE =dz 4o (R2 +z2)5/2 =0 z =R =0.707 R. 2 (d) Plugging this value back into Eq. 22-16 with the values stated in the problem, we find Emax =3.46 107 N/C. 59. The distance from Q to P is 5a, and the distance from q to P is 3a. Therefore, the magnitudes of the individual electric fields are, using Eq. 22-3 (writing 1/40 =k), EQ =kQ ,25 a 2 Eq =kq .9 a2 We note that Eq is along the y axis (directed towards y in accordance with the sign of q), and EQ has x and y components, with 3 EQ x =4 EQ and EQ y =5 EQ (signs 5 corresponding to the sign of Q). Consequently, we can write the addition of components in a simple way (basically, by dropping the absolute values): E net x =E net y 4kQ 125 a 2 kq 3kQ =2 125 a 9 a2 (a) Equating E net x and E net y ,it is straightforward to solve for the relation between Q and q. We obtain Q / q =125 / 9 14. (b) We set E net y =0 and find the necessary relation between Q and q. We obtain Q / q =125 / 27 -4.6. 60. First, we need a formula for the field due to the arc. We use the notation for the charge density, Q/L. Sample Problem 22-4 illustrates the simplest approach to circular arc field problems. Following the steps leading to Eq. 22-21, we see that the general result (for arcs that subtend angle ) is Earc =sin(/2) [sin(/2) -sin(-/2) ] =2o r 4o r Now, the arc length is L =r if is expressed in radians. Thus, using R instead of r, we obtain Earc =Q/L sin(/2) Q sin(/2) =2o R 2o R2 Thus, the problem requires Earc =1 Eparticle where Eparticle is given by Eq. 22-3. Hence, 2 Q sin(/2) 1 Q 2 =2 4o R2 2o R sin 2 =4 where we note, again, that the angle is in radians. The approximate solution to this equation is =3.791 rad 217 .61. Most of the individual fields, caused by diametrically opposite charges, will cancel, except for the pair that lie on the x axis passing through the center. This pair of charges produces a field pointing to the right E= 3q 3e i =(1.08 10-5 N/C) .2 i =4o d 4o (0.020 m) 2 62. We use Eq. 22-16, with "q" denoting the charge on the larger ring: qz Qz +0 4o(z2+ (3R)2 )3/2 4o(z2+ R2 )3/2 q=-Q 13 13 5 5 which gives q -4.19Q. Note: we set z =2R in the above calculation. 63. (a) We refer to the same figure to which problem 63 refers (but without "q"). From symmetry, we see the net field component along the x axis is zero; the net field component along the y axis points upward. With =60 ,Enet y =2 Q sin .4oa2 Since sin(60 ) =3 /2 ,we can write this as Enet =kQ 3 /a2 (using the notation of the constant k defined in Eq. 21-5). Numerically, this gives roughly 47 N/C. (b) From symmetry, we see in this case that the net field component along the y axis is zero; the net field component along the x axis points rightward. With =60 ,Enet x =2 Q cos .4oa2 Since cos(60 ) =1/2, we can write this as Enet =kQ/a2 (using the notation of Eq. 21-5). Thus, Enet 27 N/C. 64. The smallest arc is of length L1 =r1 /2 =R/2; the middle-sized arc has length L2 =r2 / 2 =(2 R) / 2 =R ;and, the largest arc has L3 =(3R)/2. The charge per unit length for each arc is =q/L where each charge q is specified in the figure. Following the steps that lead to Eq. 22-21 in Sample Problem 22-4, we find Enet =1 [2 sin(45o)] 2 [2 sin(45o)] 3 [2 sin(45o)] +4o r1 4o r2 4o r3 Q 2 2 o R 2 which yields Enet =1.62 106 N/C .(b) The direction is 45º, measured counterclockwise from the +x axis. 65. (a) Since the two charges in question are of the same sign, the point x =2.0 mm should be located in between them (so that the field vectors point in the opposite direction). Let the coordinate of the second particle be x' (x' 0). Then, the magnitude of the field due to the charge q1 evaluated at x is given by E =q1/40x2, while that due to the second charge 4q1 is E' 4q1 /40(x' x)2. We set the net field equal to zero: E net =0 so that E =E 4q1 q1 =2 2 4 0 x 4 0 x -x b g Thus, we obtain x' 3x =3(2.0 mm) =6.0 mm. (b) In this case, with the second charge now positive, the electric field vectors produced by both charges are in the negative x direction, when evaluated at x =2.0 mm. Therefore, the net field points in the negative x direction, or 180 ,measured counterclockwise from the +x axis. 66. (a) The electron ec is a distance r =z =0.020 meter away. Thus, Ec =e =3.60 10- 6 N/C .4o r2 (b) The horizontal components of the individual fields (due to the two es charges) cancel, and the vertical components add to give Es, net =2ez =2.55 10- 6 N/C .4o (R2 +z2)3/2 (c) Calculation similar to that shown in part (a) now leads to a stronger field Ec =3.60 10-4 N/C from the central charge. (d) The field due to the side charges may be obtained from calculation similar to that shown in part (b). The result is Es, net =7.09 10-7 N/C. (e) Since Ec is inversely proportional to z2, this is a simple result of the fact that z is now much smaller than in part (a). For the net effect due to the side charges, it is the "trigonometric factor" for the y component (here expressed as z/ r ) which shrinks almost linearly (as z decreases) for very small z, plus the fact that the x components cancel, which leads to the decreasing value of Es, net .67. We interpret the linear charge density, Q / L ,to indicate a positive quantity (so we can relate it to the magnitude of the field). Sample Problem 22-4 illustrates the simplest approach to circular arc field problems. Following the steps leading to Eq. 2221, we see that the general result (for arcs that subtend angle ) is E= sin(/2) [sin(/2) -sin(-/2) ] =2o r 4o r Now, the arc length is L =r if is expressed in radians. Thus, using R instead of r, we obtain E= Q sin(/2) Q /L sin(/2) =2o R 2o R2 With Q =6.25 10-12 C ,2.40 rad =137.5 and R =9.00 10-2 m ,the magnitude of the electric field is E =5.39 N/C .68. Examining the lowest value on the graph, we have (using Eq. 22-38) U =p E =1.00 10-28 J. If E =20 N/C, we find p =5.0 10-28 C m. 69. From symmetry, we see the net force component along the y axis is zero; the net force component along the x axis points rightward. With =60 ,F3 =2 Since cos(60 ) =1/2, we can write this as F3 =kq3 q1 (8.99 109 )(5.00 10-12 )(2.00 10-12 ) =9.96 10-12 N. 2 2 a (0.0950) q3 q1 cos .4 0 a 2 70. The two closest charges produce fields at the midpoint which cancel each other out. Thus, the only significant contribution is from the furthest charge, which is a distance r =3d / 2 away from that midpoint. Plugging this into Eq. 22-3 immediately gives the result: Q Q E= 2 =4o r 3o d2 71. From the second measurement (at (2.0, 0)) we see that the charge must be somewhere on the x axis. A line passing through (3.0, 3.0) with slope tan -1 (3 4) will intersect the x axis at x =1.0. Thus, the location of the particle is specified by the coordinates (in cm): ( 1.0, 0). (a) Thus, the x coordinate is x =1.0 cm. (b) Similarly, the y coordinate is y =0. (c) Using k =1 4 0 ,the field magnitude measured at (2.0, 0) (which is r =0.030 m from the charge) is E =k q =100 N C. r2 Therefore, q =1.0 10 11 C. 72. We denote the electron with subscript e and the proton with p. From the figure below we see that Ee =E p =e 4 0 d 2 where d =2.0 10 6 m. We note that the components along the y axis cancel during the vector summation. With k =1/40 and =60 ,the magnitude of the net electric field is obtained as follows: Enet =Ex =2 Ee cos =2 N m2 =2 8.99 10 C2 9 e 4 0 d 2 -19 cos =2k C) 2 e d2 cos (1.6 10 ( 2.0 10 -6 m) cos 60 =3.6 102 N C. 73. On the one hand, the conclusion (that Q =1.00 C) is clear from symmetry. If a more in-depth justification is desired, one should use Eq. 22-3 for the electric field magnitudes of the three charges (each at the same distance r =a 3 from C) and then find field components along suitably chosen axes, requiring each component-sum to be zero. If the y axis is vertical, then (assuming Q 0) the component-sum along that axis leads to 2kq sin 30 / r 2 =kQ / r 2 where q refers to either of the charges at the bottom corners. This yields Q =2q sin 30 =q and thus to the conclusion mentioned above. 74. (a) Let E =/20 =3 106 N/C. With =q /A, this leads to 2.5 10-2 m 3.0 106 N C R2 E 2 2 =10 10-7 C. q =R =2 0 R E =9 N m 2 2k 2 8.99 10 C2 c hc 2 h d i (b) Setting up a simple proportionality (with the areas), the number of atoms is estimated to be N= (c) Therefore, the fraction is q 1.0 10-7 C =5.0 10-6. 17 -19 Ne (1.3 10 ) (1.6 10 C ) 2.5 10-2 m c h 2 0.015 10-18 m2 =13 1017 .75. (a) Using the density of water ( =1000 kg/m3), the weight mg of the spherical drop (of radius r =6.0 10 7 m) is W =Vg =1000 kg m3 c h FGH 43 c6.0 10 mh IJK c9.8 m s h =8.87 10 -7 3 2 -15 N. (b) Vertical equilibrium of forces leads to mg =qE =neE, which we solve for n, the number of excess electrons: 8.87 10-15 N mg n= 120. eE 1.60 10-19 C 462 N C c hb g 76. Eq. 22-38 gives U =p E =pE cos .We note that i =110 and f =70.0 .Therefore, U =pE ( cos 70.0 -cos110 ) =3.28 10-21 J. 77. A small section of the distribution that has charge dq is dx, where =9.0 10 9 C/m. Its contribution to the field at xP =4.0 m is dE =dq 4 0 x -x P b g 2 pointing in the +x direction. Thus, we have E= 3.0 m 0 dx 4 0 ( x -xP ) 2 i which becomes, using the substitution u =x xP, E= 4 0 z -1.0 m -4 .0 m -1 -1 du i= i 2 .4 0 -10 m -4.0 m u FG H IJ K which yields 61 N/C in the +x direction. 78. Studying Sample Problem 22-4, we see that the field evaluated at the center of curvature due to a charged distribution on a circular arc is given by E= sin 4 0 r 2 -2 along the symmetry axis is the length of the arc, given as where =q =q r with in radians. Here =4.0 m .Therefore, r =4.0 2.0 =2.0 rad .Thus, with q =20 10 9 C, we obtain E =q 1 sin 4 0 r 1.0 rad -1.0 rad =38 N C .79. (a) We combine Eq. 22-28 (in absolute value) with Newton's second law: a= q E 160 10-19 C .9.11 10-31 kg m FG H IJ FG140 10 N IJ =2.46 10 CK KH .6 17 ms .2 (b) With v =c =3.00 107 m s ,we use Eq. 2-11 to find 10 v -vo 3.00 107 .t= 122 10-10 s. 17 a 2.46 10 (c) Eq. 2-16 gives 2 3.00 10 v 2 -vo =183 10-3 m. x =17 2a 2 2.46 10 c c 7 2 h h 80. Let q1 denote the charge at y =d and q2 denote the charge at y =d. The individual magnitudes E1 and E2 are figured from Eq. 22-3, where the absolute value signs for q are unnecessary since these charges are both positive. The distance from q1 to a point on the x axis is the same as the distance from q2 to a point on the x axis: r =x 2 +d 2 .By symmetry, the y component of the net field along the x axis is zero. The x component of the net field, evaluated at points on the positive x axis, is Ex =2 FG 1 IJ FG H 4 K H x 0 2 q +d2 IJ FG KH x x2 +d 2 IJ K where the last factor is cos =x/r with being the angle for each individual field as measured from the x axis.

For the purposes of graphing, we set d =1 m and q =5.56 10 11 C. (c) From the graph, we estimate Emax occurs at about =0.71. More accurate computation shows that the maximum occurs at =1 2 .(d) The graph suggests that "half-height" points occur at 0.2 and 2.0. Further numerical exploration leads to the values: 0.2047 and =1.9864. 81. (a) From Eq. 22-38 (and the facts that i i =1 and j i =0 ), the potential energy is U =p E =3.00i +4.00j (1.24 10-30 C m ) ( 4000 N C ) i =1.49 10-26 J.

We consider pairs of diametrically opposed charges. The net field due to just the charges in the one o'clock ( q) and seven o'clock ( 7q) positions is clearly equivalent to that of a single 6q charge sitting at the seven o'clock position. Similarly, the net field due to just the charges in the six o'clock ( 6q) and twelve o'clock ( 12q) positions is the same as that due to a single 6q charge sitting at the twelve o'clock position. Continuing with this line of reasoning, we see that there are six equal-magnitude electric field vectors pointing at the seven o'clock, eight o'clock .twelve o'clock positions. Thus, the resultant field of all of these points, by symmetry, is directed toward the position midway between seven and twelve o'clock. Therefore, E resultant points towards the nine-thirty position. 83.

The electric field at a point on the axis of a uniformly charged ring, a distance z from the ring center, is given by E= qz 4 0 z +R 2 2 c h 3/ 2 where q is the charge on the ring and R is the radius of the ring (see Eq. 22-16). For q positive, the field points upward at points above the ring and downward at points below the ring. We take the positive direction to be upward. Then, the force acting on an electron on the axis is F=-eqz 4 0 z 2 +R 2 .c h 3/ 2 For small amplitude oscillations z R and z can be neglected in the denominator. Thus, F=-eqz .4 0 R 3 The force is a restoring force: it pulls the electron toward the equilibrium point z =0. Furthermore, the magnitude of the force is proportional to z, just as if the electron were attached to a spring with spring constant k =eq/40R3. The electron moves in simple harmonic motion with an angular frequency given by =where m is the mass of the electron. k =m eq 4 0 mR 3 85. (a) Since E points down and we need an upward electric force (to cancel the downward pull of gravity), then we require the charge of the sphere to be negative. The magnitude of the charge is found by working with the absolute value of Eq. 22-28: q =F mg 4.4N =0.029C ,E E 150 N C or q =0.029 C. (b) The feasibility of this experiment may be studied by using Eq. 22-3 (using k for 1/40). We have E =k q / r 2 with sulfur 4 3 r =msphere 3 Since the mass of the sphere is 4.4/9.8 0.45 kg and the density of sulfur is about 2.1 103 kg/m3 (see Appendix F), then we obtain F 3m IJ r=G H 4 K sphere sulfur 13 =0.037 m E=k q 2 1011 N C 2 r which is much too large a field to maintain in air. 86. (a) The electric field is upward in the diagram and the charge is negative, so the force of the field on it is downward. The magnitude of the acceleration is a =eE/m, where E is the magnitude of the field and m is the mass of the electron. Its numerical value is .c160 10 Chc2.00 10 N Ch =351 10 .a= 19 3 14 9.11 10 -31 kg ms .2 We put the origin of a coordinate system at the initial position of the electron. We take the x axis to be horizontal and positive to the right; take the y axis to be vertical and positive toward the top of the page. The kinematic equations are 1 x =v0t cos ,y =v0t sin -at 2 ,2 and v y =v0 sin -at. First, we find the greatest y coordinate attained by the electron. If it is less than d, the electron does not hit the upper plate. If it is greater than d, it will hit the upper plate if the corresponding x coordinate is less than L. The greatest y coordinate occurs when vy =0. This means v0 sin at =0 or t =(v0/a) sin and 6 2 2 2 2 v0 sin 2 1 v0 sin 2 1 v0 sin 2 ( 6.00 10 m s ) sin 45 =a =2.56 10-2 m. 2 2 14 a 2 a 2 a 2 3.51 10 m s 2 ymax ( ) Since this is greater than d =2.00 cm, the electron might hit the upper plate.
