24. Electric Force & Field; Gauss' Law

A proton is fired horizontally into a 1.0×10⁵ N/C vertical electric field. It rises 1.0 cm vertically after having traveled 5.0 cm horizontally. What was the proton's initial speed?

A 0.80-μm-diameter oil droplet is observed between two parallel electrodes spaced 11 mm apart. The droplet hangs motionless if the upper electrode is 20 V more positive than the lower electrode. The density of the oil is 885 kg/m³. Does the droplet have a surplus or a deficit of electrons? How many?

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, $1.60$ cm distant from the first, in a time interval of $3.20\times10^{-6}$ s. Find the speed of the proton when it strikes the negatively charged plate.

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, $1.60$ cm distant from the first, in a time interval of $3.20\times {10}^{-6}$ s. Find the magnitude of the electric field.

Two large, parallel conducting plates carrying op­posite charges of equal magnitude are separated by $2.20$ cm. If the surface charge density for each plate has magnitude $47.0$ nC/m², what is the magnitude of $E$ in the region between the plates?

An electron is released from rest at the center of a parallel-plate capacitor that has a 1.0 mm spacing. The electron then strikes one of the plates with a speed of 1.5×10⁶ m/s. What is the electric field strength inside the capacitor?
