Identical 50 μC charges are fixed on an x-axis at x=±2.0 m. A particle of charge q=-15 μC is then released from rest at a point on the positive part of the y-axis. Due to the symmetry of the situation, the particle moves along the y-axis and has kinetic energy 1.2 J as it passes through the point x=0, y=4.0 m. (a) What is the kinetic energy of the particle as it passes through the origin? (b) At what negative value of y will the particle momentarily stop?

In Fig. (a), a particle of elementary charge +e is initially at coordinate z=20 nm on the dipole axis (here a z axis) through an electric dipole, on the positive side of the dipole. (The origin of z is at the center of the dipole.) The particle is then moved along a circular path around the dipole center until it is at coordinate z=-20 nm, on the negative side of the dipole axis. Figure (b) gives the work Wa done by the force moving the particle versus the angle $\theta$ that locates the particle relative to the positive direction of the z axis. The scale of the vertical axis is set by Was=2.0×10-30 J. What is the magnitude of the dipole moment?

A particle of charge +7.5 μC is released from rest at the point x=60 cm on an x-axis. The particle begins to move due to the presence of a charge Q that remains fixed at the origin. What is the kinetic energy of the particle at the instant it has moved 50 cm if (a)Q=+20 μC and (b) Q=-20 μC?

In Figure, a charged particle (either an electron or a proton) is moving rightward between two parallel charged plates separated by distance d=2.00 mm. The plate potentials are V1=-80.0 V and V2=-50.0 V. The particle is slowing from an initial speed of 200 km s-1 at the left plate.

(a) Is the particle an electron or a proton?
(b) What is its speed just as it reaches the plate 2?

A positron (charge +e mass equal to the electron mass) is moving at 1.5×107 m s-1 in the positive direction of an x-axis when, at x=0, it encounters an electric field directed along the x-axis. The electric potential V associated with the field is given in the figure. The scale of the vertical axis is set by Vs=500.0 V (a) Does the positron emerge from the field at x=0 (which means its motion is reversed) or at x=0.50 m (which means its motion is not reversed)? (b) What is its speed when it emerges?

Suppose N electrons can be placed in either of two configurations. In configuration 1, they are all placed on the circumference of a narrow ring of radius R and are uniformly distributed so that the distance between adjacent electrons is the same everywhere. In configuration 2, N-1 electrons are uniformly distributed on the ring and one electron is placed in the center of the ring.

(a) What is the smallest value of N for which the second configuration is less energetic than the first?

(b) For that value of considering anyone circumference electron, call it e.0 How many other circumference electrons are closer to e0 than the central electron is?
