Get started for freeA small segment of wire in FIGURE contains of charge.
a. The segment is shrunk to one-third of its original length. What is the ratio of , where are the initial and final linear charge densities?
b. A proton is very far from the wire. What is the ratio Ff /Fi of the electric force on the proton after the segment is shrunk to the force before the segment was shrunk?
c. Suppose the original segment of wire is stretched to times its original length. How much charge must be added to the wire to keep the linear charge density unchanged?
One type of ink-jet printer, called an electrostatic ink-jet printer, forms the letters by using deflecting electrodes to steer charged ink drops up and down vertically as the ink jet sweeps horizontally across the page. The ink jet forms diameter drops of ink, charges them by spraying electrons on the surface, and shoots them toward the page at a speed of . Along the way, the drops pass through two horizontal, parallel electrodes that are wide, and spaced apart. The distance from the center of the electrodes to the paper is . To form the tallest letters, which have a height of , the drops need to be deflected upward (or downward) by . What electric field strength is needed between the electrodes to achieve this deflection? Ink, which consists of dye particles suspended in alcohol, has a density of .
What are the strength and direction of the electric field at the position indicated by the dot in FIGURE EX23.4? Specify the direction as an angle above or below horizontal
Show that an infinite line of charge with linear charge density exerts an attractive force on an electric dipole with magnitude . Assume that, the distance from the line, is much larger than the charge separation in the dipole.
