What is the escape speed for an electron initially at rest on the surface of a sphere with a radius of 1.30 cm and a uniformly distributed charge of 1.50×10−15 C? That is, what initial speed must the electron have in order to reach an infinite distance from the sphere and have zero kinetic energy when it gets there? The charge of an electron is 1.602×10−19 C and its mass is 9.109×10−31 kg. Number Units

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) =

We have an infinitely long wire, again with linear charge density λ = 10 μC/m. We have a point charge, again with q = 75 μC. Point S is zS = 10 m away from the wire on the z-axis, point P is zP = 5 m away from the wire on the z-axis, and point T is yT = 5 m away from the wire on the y-axis. Remember that the electric field at a distance r away from a wire is E→wire = 2 kλrr^ Figure 2: Figure for Problems 3-5 3. Potential change with radial path 1 point What is the energy change from point S to point P ? 4. Potential change with angular path 1 point What is the change in energy from point P to point T along the quarter-circle path? 5. Potential change with square path 1 point What is the change in energy from point P to point T along the square path? (Next two questions) We have an infinitely long wire of linear charge density 1 nC/m. You throw a ball with charge Q = −8 C and mass m = 2 kg away from the wire with initial velocity vi = 12 m/s. The ball is initially 4 meters away from the wire. 6. Change in potential 1 point After some time the ball's velocity decreases to 6 m/s, half its initial speed. What is the magnitude of the change in potential, in volts, from the initial position to this position of the ball? 7. Maximum distance 2 points What is the maximum distance the ball gets from the wire?
