If we move a positively charged particle through an electric field, in which situation do we decrease the electric potential energy of the particle? We move the particle in the direction of the electric field. We move the particle in the direction opposite that of the electric field. We move the particle perpendicularly to the direction of the electric field.

An electron is traveling with initial kinetic energy K in a uniform electric field. The electron comes to rest momentarily after traveling a distance d. (a) What is the magnitude of the electric field? (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: e for the charge of the electron.) E = (b) What is the direction of the electric field? in the direction of the electron's motion opposite to the direction of the electron's motion perpendicular to the direction of the electron's motion (c) What If? Fluoride ions (which have the same charge as an electron) are initially moving with the same speed as the electrons from part (a) through a different uniform electric field. The ions come to a stop in the same distance d. Let the mass of an ion be M and the mass of an electron be m. Find the ratio of the magnitude of electric field the ions travel through to the magnitude of the electric field found in part (a). (Use the following as necessary: d, k, m, M, and e for the charge of the electron.) Enew Epart (a) =

A positively charged particle of mass m and charge q is released from rest in a uniform electric field, E→ = (10i^) V/m. The particle, after travelling 2 s in this electric field, enters a region that is free from electric field but has a steady and uniform magnetic field, B→ = (−4k^) T. What will be the radius of the circular path (in meters) and the direction of angular velocity of the particle in this region? (Select the closest number among the following choices.) (Note: an incorrect answer will be penalized 2 pts.) a) 5.0; k^ b) 0.2; k^ c) 0.2; −k^ d) 2.0; k^ e) 5.0; −k^
