What work is needed to assemble an equilateral triangle of side length 5 cm, with a 5µC charge at each vertex?
A particle with charge nC is in a uniform electric field directed to the left. The charge is released from rest and moves to the left; after it has moved cm, its kinetic energy is J. What is the work done by the electric force?
A point charge C is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge C moves from the point m, to the point m, m. How much work is done by the electric force on ?
How much charge does a 9.0 V battery transfer from the negative to the positive terminal while doing 27 J of work?
Light from the sun allows a solar cell to move electrons from the positive to the negative terminal, doing 2.4×10−19 J of work per electron. What is the emf of this solar cell?
A 1.5 V battery provides 0.50 A of current. How much work does the charge escalator do to lift 1.0 C of charge?
(II) A + 25 μC point charge is placed 6.0 cm from an identical +25 μC point charge. How much work would be required by an external force to move a +0.15 μC test charge from a point midway between them to a point 1.0 cm closer to either of the charges?
In an older television tube (CRT), electrons are accelerated by thousands of volts through a vacuum. If such a television set is laid on its back, would electrons be able to move upward against the force of gravity? What potential difference, acting over a distance of 2.4 cm, would be needed to balance the downward force of gravity so that an electron would remain stationary? Assume that the electric field is uniform.
A parallel-plate capacitor with a 1.0 mm plate separation is charged to 75 V. With what kinetic energy, in eV, must a proton be launched from the negative plate if it is just barely able to reach the positive plate?
A proton's speed as it passes point 1 is 50,000 m/s. It follows the trajectory shown in FIGURE P25.43. What is the proton's speed at point 2?
An arrangement of source charges produces the electric potential V=5000x2 along the x-axis, where V is in volts and x is in meters. What is the maximum speed of a 1.0 g, 10 nC charged particle that moves in this potential with turning points at ±8.0 cm?
The luminous efficiency of a lightbulb is the ratio of luminous flux to electric power input.
