At a certain distance from a point charge, the potential and electric-field magnitude due to that charge are 4.984.98 V and 16.216.2 V/m, respectively. (Take V=0V = 0 at infinity.) Is the electric field directed toward or away from the point charge?

Understand that the electric field direction depends on the sign of the point charge. A positive charge has an electric field directed away from it, while a negative charge has an electric field directed toward it.
Recall that the electric potential (V) and the electric field (E) are related to the charge (q) and the distance (r) from the charge by the formulas: V = k * q / r and E = k * q / r^2, where k is Coulomb's constant.
Since the potential is positive (4.98 V), this suggests that the point charge is positive, as a positive charge creates a positive potential.
Given that the electric field magnitude is 16.2 V/m, and knowing the potential is positive, the electric field is directed away from the point charge.
Conclude that the electric field is directed away from the point charge, consistent with the behavior of a positive charge.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Electric Potential

Electric potential at a point in space is the work done per unit charge in bringing a positive test charge from infinity to that point. It is a scalar quantity measured in volts (V) and indicates the potential energy per unit charge at a location due to an electric field.

Electric Potential

Electric Field

The electric field is a vector field around a charged object where a force would be exerted on other charges. It is measured in volts per meter (V/m) and represents the force per unit charge exerted on a positive test charge. The direction of the field is the direction of the force on a positive charge.

Direction of Electric Field

The direction of the electric field is determined by the nature of the source charge. For a positive point charge, the electric field radiates outward, while for a negative point charge, it points inward. This concept helps determine whether the field is directed toward or away from the charge.

A thin spherical shell with radius R1=3.00R_1 = 3.00 cm is concentric with a larger thin spherical shell with radius R2=5.00R_2 = 5.00 cm. Both shells are made of insulating material. The smaller shell has charge q1=+6.00q_1 = +6.00 nC distributed uniformly over its surface, and the larger shell has charge q2=9.00q_2 = -9.00 nC distributed uniformly over its surface. Take the electric potential to be zero at an infinite distance from both shells. What is the electric potential due to the two shells at the following distance from their common center: (i) r=0 r=0; (ii) r=4.00r=4.00 cm; (iii) r=6.00r=6.00 cm?

An infinitely long line of charge has linear charge den­sity 5.00×10125.00\(\times\)10^{-12} C/m. A proton (mass 1.67×10271.67\(\times\)10^{-27} kg, charge +1.60×1019+1.60\(\times\)10^{-19} C) is 18.018.0 cm from the line and moving directly toward the line at 3.50×1033.50\(\times\)10^3 m/s. Calculate the proton's initial kinetic energy.
