Electric Forces and Fields

Chapter Study Guide


Teacher Notes and Answers
1. a. A; 1.87  1013 electrons; B: 3.12  1013 electrons
b. the forces are equal and opposite, no
2. a. Resultant = 1.49 N, left; F(A-C) = 1.35 N, left; F(B-C) = 0.140 N, left.
b. Resultant = 0.788 N, right; F(A-C) = 1.35 N, right; F(B-C) = 0.562 N, left.
c. Resultant = 0.400 N, left; F(A-C) = 0.599 N, right; F(B-C) = 0.999 N, left
3. a. 1.92  1016 N
b. 2.87  1010 m/s2
c. 9.81 m/s2; this is negligible in comparison with the acceleration a; alpha particles will move
horizontally
4. a. Check students diagrams for accuracy.

Chapter Study Guide


Use kC = 8.99  109 N•m2/C2.
1. Two spheres, A and B, are placed 0.60 m apart, as shown. Sphere A has
+3.00 μC excess charge. Sphere B has +5.00 μC excess charge.

a. How many electrons are missing on sphere A? on sphere B?

_________________________________________________________________
b. How do the forces of B on A and A on B compare? Does the greater charge
exert a greater force?

_________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________
2. A third spherical charge, C, of +2.00 μC, is placed on the line connecting spheres
A and B. Find the resultant force exerted by A and B on C when C is placed in the
following locations.
a. 0.20 m to the left of A

_________________________________________________________________
b. 0.20 m to the right of A between A and B

_________________________________________________________________
c. exactly in the middle between A and B
