Re: Physics: Electric Fields

F = q1 q2 / r^2 * epsilon 0 if I remember right.

If q1 is -ve, then unless q2 is also -ve, F will be negitive. So if you replace one charge with an equal but opposite charge, you will get an equil but opposite force.

So yes, ANS c = - ANS b

3) again, if a -ve charge will go to the left, a +ve charge will go to the right so the E field also goes to the right.

4) Both plates will be at the same VOLTAGE. Thus, for the potential energy at every part of the plate to be even, the charge density must also be even. Thus, by symetry, the E field is constant between the plates (ignoring edge effects).

Will think about the others.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
