Which describes the electric potential and the electric field at a point due to a positively charged particle? The potential is a positive number; the field is a vector pointing toward the particle. The potential is a positive number; the field is a vector pointing away from the particle. The potential is a negative number; the field is a vector pointing toward the particle. The potential is a negative number; the field is a vector pointing away from the particle.

A Geiger counter detects radiation such as alpha particles by using the fact that the radiation ionizes the air along its path. A thin wire lies on the axis of a hollow metal cylinder and is insulated from it (Figure 1). A large potential difference is established between the wire and the outer cylinder, with the wire at higher potential; this sets up a strong electric field directed radially outward. When ionizing radiation enters the device, it ionizes a few air molecules. The free electrons produced are accelerated by the electric field toward the wire and, on the way there, ionize many more air molecules. Thus a current pulse is produced that can be detected by appropriate electronic circuitry and converted to an audible "click." Suppose the radius of the central wire is 145 μm and the radius of the hollow cylinder is 1.80 cm. Part A What potential difference between the wire and the cylinder produces an electric field of 2.00×104 V/m at a distance of 1.20 cm from the axis of the wire? (Assume that the wire and cylinder are both very long in comparison to their radii.) Submit Request Answer Figure 1 of 1

Several species of bacteria, including Geobacter metallireducens, have been shown to "eat" electrons, bypassing the usual process of metabolizing sugar to obtain energy. During this process, the bacteria, which already have negatively charged cell membranes, acquire an even larger net negative charge, typically between 10.0 e and 85.0 e in magnitude. Individual Geobacter are typically 4.00 μm in diameter. What are the magnitude and the direction of the electric field of a bacterium with a net negative charge of magnitude 70.0 e at a distance of 1.80 mm from the microbe? (a) the magnitude (in N/C) N/C (b) the direction radially outward radially inward What are the magnitude and the direction of the electric force on a second bacterium of net negative charge 80.0 e distance of 1.80 mm from the first bacterium? (c) the magnitude (in N) N (d) the direction away from the first bacterium towards the first bacterium
