Goal Solution Three point charges are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle as shown in Figure P23.7.Calculate the net electric force on the 7.00C charge.

G : Gather Information: The 7.00C charge experiences a repulsive force F1 due to the 2.00Ccharge, and an attractive force F2 due to the 4.00C charge, where F2 = 2F1. If we sketch theseforce vectors, we find that the resultant appears to be about the same magnitude as F2 and isdirected to the right about 30.0 below the horizontal.

O : Organize : We can find the net electric force by adding the two separate forces acting on the

7.00C charge. These individual forces can be found by applying Coulombs law to each pair ofcharges.

A : Analyze: The force on the 7.00C charge by the 2.00C charge is

F1 =

8.99 109 N m2/ C2( ) 7.00 106 C( ) 2.00 106 C( )0.500 m( )2

cos60i + sin60 j( ) = F1 = 0.252i + 0.436j( ) N

Similarly, the force on the 7.00C by the 4.00C charge is

F2 = 8.99 10

9 N m2

C2

7.00 106 C( ) 4.00 106 C( )

0.500 m( )2cos60i sin60 j( ) = 0.503i 0.872j( ) N

Thus, the total force on the 7.00C, expressed as a set of components, is

F = F1 + F2 = 0.755 i 0.436 j( ) N = 0.872 N at 30.0 below the +x axis

L : Learn: Our calculated answer agrees with our initial estimate. An equivalent approach to thisproblem would be to find the net electric field due to the two lower charges and apply F=qE to findthe force on the upper charge in this electric field.

The net force will be zero if

This gives an equilibrium position of the third bead of x = 0.634d

The equilibrium is stable if the third bead has positive charge .

*23.13 The point is designated in the sketch. The magnitudes of theelectric fields, E1, (due to the 2.50 106 C charge) and E2 (due tothe 6.00 106 C charge) are

E2 = keqr 2

(d + 1.00 m)2 (2)

Equate the right sides of (1) and (2) to get (d + 1.00 m)2 = 2.40d 2

or d + 1.00 m = 1.55d

which yields d = 1.82 m or d = 0.392 m

The negative value for d is unsatisfactory because that locates a point between the charges

where both fields are in the same direction. Thus, d = 1.82 m to the left of the -2.50 C charge.

at the center , where (by symmetry) one can see that the threecharges individually produce fields that cancel out.

(b) You may need to review vector addition in Chapter Three.

Goal Solution Three equal positive charges q are at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side a, as shown in FigureP23.17. (a) Assume that the three charges together create an electric field. Find the location of a point(other than ) where the electric field is zero. (Hint: Sketch the field lines in the plane of the charges.)(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at P due to the two charges at the base?

G : The electric field has the general appearance shown by the black arrows in the figure to the right.This drawing indicates that E = 0 at the center of the triangle, since a small positive charge placed atthe center of this triangle will be pushed away from each corner equally strongly. This fact could beverified by vector addition as in part (b) below.

The electric field at point P should be directed upwards and about twice the magnitude of the electricfield due to just one of the lower charges as shown in Figure P23.17. For part (b), we must ignore theeffect of the charge at point P , because a charge cannot exert a force on itself.

O : The electric field at point P can be found by adding the electric field vectors due to each of the twolower point charges: E = E1 + E2

L :

The net electric field at point P is indeed nearly twice the magnitude due to a singlecharge and is entirely vertical as expected from the symmetry of the configuration. Inaddition to the center of the triangle, the electric field lines in the figure to the rightindicate three other points near the middle of each leg of the triangle where E = 0 , butthey are more difficult to find mathematically.

23.20 The magnitude of the field at (x, y) due to charge q at (x0 , y0 )is given by E = keq r

(x, y). Observe the geometry in the diagram at the right.From triangle ABC , r

(b) A circle of charge corresponds to letting n grow beyond all bounds, but the result does notdepend on n. Smearing the charge around the circle does not change its amount or itsdistance from the field point, so it does not change the field. .

23.32 The sheet must have negative charge to repel the negative charge on the Styrofoam. Themagnitude of the upward electric force must equal the magnitude of the downwardgravitational force for the Styrofoam to "float" (i.e., Fe = Fg ).

Goal Solution The electrons in a particle beam each have a kinetic energy K . What are the magnitude and direction ofthe electric field that stops these electrons in a distance of d?

G : We should expect that a larger electric field would be required to stop electrons with greater kineticenergy. Likewise, E must be greater for a shorter stopping distance, d . The electric field should be i nthe same direction as the motion of the negatively charged electrons in order to exert an opposingforce that will slow them down.

O : The electrons will experience an electrostatic force F = qE. Therefore, the work done by the electricfield can be equated with the initial kinetic energy since energy should be conserved.

A : The work done on the charge is W = F d = qE dand Ki + W = Kf = 0Assuming v is in the + x direction, K + e( )E di = 0

eE di( ) = KE is therefore in the direction of the electron beam:

E = K

edi

L : As expected, the electric field is proportional to K , and inversely proportional to d . The direction ofthe electric field is important; if it were otherwise the electron would speed up instead of slowingdown! If the particles were protons instead of electrons, the electric field would need to be directedopposite to v in order for the particles to slow down.

23.52 From the free-body diagram shown, Fy = 0

and T cos 15.0 = 1.96 102 N

So T = 2.03 102 N

From Fx = 0, we have qE = T sin 15.0

or q = T sin 15.0

E = (2.03 102 N) sin 15.0

1.00 103 N/C = 5.25 106 C = 5.25 C

23.53 (a) Let us sum force components to find

Free Body Diagramfor Goal Solution



Goal Solution A charged cork ball of mass 1.00 g is suspended on a light string in the presence of a uniform electric field,as shown in Fig. P23.53. When E = 3.00i + 5.00j( ) 10

5 N / C, the ball is in equilibrium at = 37.0. Find(a) the charge on the ball and (b) the tension in the string.

G : (a) Since the electric force must be in the same direction as E, the ball must be positively charged. Ifwe examine the free body diagram that shows the three forces acting on the ball, the sum of whichmust be zero, we can see that the tension is about half the magnitude of the weight.

O : The tension can be found from applying Newton's second law to this statics problem (electrostatics,in this case!). Since the force vectors are in two dimensions, we must apply F = ma to both the xand y directions.

A : Applying Newton's Second Law in the x and y directions, and noting that F = T + qE + Fg = 0,

Fx = qEx T sin 37.0= 0 (1)

Fy = qEy + T cos 37.0 mg = 0 (2)

We are given Ex = 3.00 105 N / C and Ey = 5.00 10

5 N / C; substituting T from (1) into (2):

q = mg

Ey +Ex

tan 37.0

= (1.00 103 kg)(9.80 m / s2 )

5.00 + 3.00tan 37.0

105 N / C= 1.09 108 C

(b) Using this result for q in Equation (1), we find that the tension is T = qEx

sin 37.0= 5.44 103 N

L : The tension is slightly more than half the weight of the ball ( Fg = 9.80 103 N) so our result seems

reasonable based on our initial prediction.

23.54 (a) Applying the first condition of equilibrium to the ball gives:

Fx = qEx T sin = 0 or T = qEx

sin= qA

sinand Fy = qEy + T cos mg = 0 or qB + T cos = mg

Substituting from the first equation into the second gives:

q Acot + B( ) = mg , or q =

(b) Substituting the charge into the equation obtained from Fx yields

T = mg

When E = Ai + Bj( ) N / C, where A and B are positive numbers, the ball is i nequilibrium at the angle . Find (a) the charge on the ball and (b) the tension in the string.

G : This is the general version of the preceding problem. The known quantities are A , B , m, g , and .The unknowns are q and T .

O : The approach to this problem should be the same as for the last problem, but without numbers tosubstitute for the variables. Likewise, we can use the free body diagram given in the solution toproblem 53.

A : Again, Newton's second law: T sin + qA = 0 (1)and + T cos + qB mg = 0 (2)

(a) Substituting T = qA

L : If we had solved this general problem first, we would only need to substitute the appropriate valuesin the equations for q and T to find the numerical results needed for problem 53. If you find thisproblem more difficult than problem 53, the little list at the Gather step is useful. It shows whatsymbols to think of as known data, and what to consider unknown. The list is a guide for decidingwhat to solve for in the Analysis step, and for recognizing when we have an answer.

Fnet is the resultant of two forces, F1 and F2 . F1 is the attractive forceon +q exerted by q, and F2 is the force exerted on +q by the externalelectric field.

23.64 At an equilibrium position, the net force on the charge Q is zero. The equilibrium positioncan be located by determining the angle corresponding to equilibrium. In terms of lengths s,

(b)Q2 e0

(from , total = , dome + , flat = 0)


Goal Solution A point charge Q is located just above the center of the flat face of a hemisphere of radius R, as shown i nFigure P24.15. What is the electric flux (a) through the curved surface and (b) through the flat face?

G : From Gausss law, the flux through a sphere with a point charge in it should be Q e0 , so we shouldexpect the electric flux through a hemisphere to be half this value: curved = Q 2e0 . Since the flatsection appears like an infinite plane to a point just above its surface so that half of all the field linesfrom the point charge are intercepted by the flat surface, the flux through this section should alsoequal Q 2e0 .

O : We can apply the definition of electric flux directly for part (a) and then use Gausss law to find theflux for part (b).

A : (a) With very small, all points on the hemisphere are nearly at distance R from the charge, so thefield everywhere on the curved surface is keQ / R

2 radially outward (normal to the surface).Therefore, the flux is this field strength times the area of half a sphere:

curved = E dA = ElocalAhemisphere

= ke

QR2

12( ) 4R2( ) = 14e0 Q 2( ) =

Q2e0

(b) The closed surface encloses zero charge so Gauss's law gives

curved + flat = 0 or flat = curved =

Q2e0

L : The direct calculations of the electric flux agree with our predictions, except for the negative sign i npart (b), which comes from the fact that the area unit vector is defined as pointing outward from anenclosed surface, and in this case, the electric field has a component in the opposite direction (down).

(b) E = 19.2 MN m2 C

(c) The answer to (a) would change because the flux through each face of the cube would not beequal with an unsymmetrical charge distribution. The sides of the cube nearer the chargewould have more flux and the ones farther away would have less. The answer to (b) wouldremain the same, since the overall flux would remain the same.

(c) The net charge would have the same magnitude but be negative.

24.25 No charge is inside the cube. The net flux through the cube is zero. Positive flux comes outthrough the three faces meeting at g. These three faces together fill solid angle equal to one-eighth of a sphere as seen from q, and together pass flux

Goal Solution Consider a long cylindrical charge distribution of radius R with a uniform charge density . Find theelectric field at distance r from the axis where r < R.

G : According to Gausss law, only the charge enclosed within the gaussian surface of radius r needs to beconsidered. The amount of charge within the gaussian surface will certainly increase as and rincrease, but the area of this gaussian surface will also increase, so it is difficult to predict which ofthese two competing factors will more strongly affect the electric field strength.

O : We can find the general equation for E from Gausss law.

A : If is positive, the field must be radially outward. Choose as the gaussian surface a cylinder of length L and radius r , contained inside the charged rod. Its volume is r

2L and it encloses charge r2L.

The circular end caps have no electric flux through them; there E dA = EdAcos90.0= 0. The curvedsurface has E dA = EdAcos0 , and E must be the same strength everywhere over the curved surface.

Gausss law,

E dA = qe0 , becomes

E dACurvedSurface

= r2L

e0

Now the lateral surface area of the cylinder is 2 rL : E 2 r( )L = r

2Le0

Thus, E = r

2e0 radially away from the cylinder axis

L : As we expected, the electric field will increase as increases, and we can now see that E is alsoproportional to r . For the region outside the cylinder ( r > R), we should expect the electric field todecrease as r increases, just like for a line of charge.

(j) From part (d), E = 0 for b < r < c . Thus, for a spherical gaussian surface with b < r < c , qin = +3Q + qinner = 0 where qinner is the charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell.This yields qinner = 3Q

(k) Since the total charge on the conducting shell is

qnet = qouter + qinner = Q , we have

qouter = Q qinner = Q 3Q( ) = +2Q

24.54 The sphere with large charge creates a strong field to polarize the other sphere. That means itpushes the excess charge over to the far side, leaving charge of the opposite sign on the nearside. This patch of opposite charge is smaller in amount but located in a stronger externalfield, so it can feel a force of attraction that is larger than the repelling force felt by the largercharge in the weaker field on the other side.

For a < r < b and c < r, qin = Q so that E = Q

For b r c, E = 0, since E = 0 inside a conductor.

(b) Let q1 = induced charge on the inner surface of the hollow sphere. Since E = 0 inside theconductor, the total charge enclosed by a spherical surface of radius b r c must be zero.

Therefore, q1 + Q = 0 and 1 = q1

(c) For b < r < c : E = 0 and qin = Q + Q1 = 0 where Q1 is the total charge on the inner surface of thehollow sphere. Thus, Q1 = Q = + 4.00 nC

Then, if Q2 is the total charge on the outer surface of the hollow sphere,

Q2 = Q Q1 = 9.56 nC 4.00 nC = + 5.56 nC

24.58 Consider the field due to a single sheet and let E+and E represent the fields due to the positive andnegative sheets. The field at any distance from eachsheet has a magnitude given by Equation 24.8:

E+ = E =

2e0

(a) To the left of the positive sheet, E+ is directedtoward the left and E toward the right and the netfield over this region is E = 0 .

(b) In the region between the sheets, E+ and E are both directed toward the right and the net fieldis

E =

e 0

toward the right

(c) To the right of the negative sheet, E+ and E are again oppositely directed and E = 0 .

24.59 The magnitude of the field due to each sheet given by Equation 24.8is

E =

2e0 directed perpendicular to the sheet.

(a) In the region to the left of the pair of sheets, both fields are directedtoward the left and the net field is

E =

e0

to the left

(b) In the region between the sheets, the fields due to the individual sheets are oppositely directedand the net field is

E = 0

(c) In the region to the right of the pair of sheets, both fields are directed toward the right and thenet field is

E =

e0

to the right



Goal Solution Repeat the calculations for Problem 58 when both sheets have positive uniform charge densities of value. Note: The new problem statement would be as follows: Two infinite, nonconducting sheets of chargeare parallel to each other, as shown in Figure P24.58. Both sheets have positive uniform charge densities. Calculate the value of the electric field at points (a) to the left of, (b) in between, and (c) to the right ofthe two sheets.

G : When both sheets have the same charge density, a positive test charge at a point midway betweenthem will experience the same force in opposite directions from each sheet. Therefore, the electricfield here will be zero. (We should ask: can we also conclude that the electron will experience equaland oppositely directed forces everywhere in the region between the plates?)

Outside the sheets the electric field will point away and should be twice the strength due to one sheetof charge, so E = /e0 in these regions.

O : The principle of superposition can be applied to add the electric field vectors due to each sheet ofcharge.

A : For each sheet, the electric field at any point is E = (2e0 ) directed away from the sheet.

(a) At a point to the left of the two parallel sheets E i i i= + = E E E1 2 2( ) ( ) ( ) =

e0i

(b) At a point between the two sheets E i i= + =E E1 2 0( )

(c) At a point to the right of the two parallel sheets E i i i= + =E E E1 2 2 = e0

i

L : We essentially solved this problem in the Gather information step, so it is no surprise that theseresults are what we expected. A better check is to confirm that the results are complementary to thecase where the plates are oppositely charged (Problem 58).

24.60 The resultant field within the cavity is the superposition oftwo fields, one E+ due to a uniform sphere of positive chargeof radius 2a , and the other E due to a sphere of negativecharge of radius a centered within the cavity.

24.62 The electric field throughout the region is directed along x;therefore, E will be perpendicular to dA over the four faces ofthe surface which are perpendicular to the yz plane, and E willbe parallel to dA over the two faces which are parallel to the yzplane. Therefore,

24.64 The total flux through a surface enclosing the charge Q is Q/ e0 . The flux through the disk is

The flux of this field through a sphere is

g dA = Gmr2 4r2( ) = 4Gm

Since the r has divided out, we can visualize the field as unbroken field lines. The same fluxwould go through any other closed surface around the mass. If there are several or no massesinside a closed surface, each creates field to make its own contribution to the net fluxaccording to

g dA = 4Gmin

Goal Solution (a) Calculate the speed of a proton that is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 120 V.(b) Calculate the speed of an electron that is accelerated through the same potential difference.

G : Since 120 V is only a modest potential difference, we might expect that the final speed of the particleswill be substantially less than the speed of light. We should also expect the speed of the electron to besignificantly greater than the proton because, with me



A : (a) Energy is conserved as the proton moves from high to low potential, which can be defined forthis problem as moving from 120 V down to 0 V:

L : Both of these speeds are significantly less than the speed of light as expected, which also means thatwe were justified in not using the relativistic kinetic energy formula. (For precision to threesignificant digits, the relativistic formula is only needed if v is greater than about 0.1 c.)

25.4 For speeds larger than one-tenth the speed of light, 12 mv

Goal Solution The Bohr model of the hydrogen atom states that the single electron can exist only in certain allowedorbits around the proton. The radius of each Bohr orbit is r = n

2(0.0529 nm) where n = 1, 2, 3, . . . .Calculate the electric potential energy of a hydrogen atom when the electron is in the (a) first allowedorbit, n = 1; (b) second allowed orbit, n = 2; and (c) when the electron has escaped from the atom ( r = ).Express your answers in electron volts.

G : We may remember from chemistry that the lowest energy level for hydrogen is E1 = 13.6 eV, andhigher energy levels can be found from En = E1 / n

2 , so that E2 = 3.40 eV and E = 0 eV. (see section42.2) Since these are the total energies (potential plus kinetic), the electric potential energy aloneshould be lower (more negative) because the kinetic energy of the electron must be positive.

O : The electric potential energy is given by U = ke
