QUESTION:

Problem 47P

An object with a charge of −3.6 μC and a mass of 0.012 kg experiences an upward electric force, due to a uniform electric field, equal in magnitude to its weight, (a) Find the direction and magnitude of the electric field, (b) If the electric charge on the object is doubled while its mass remains the same, find the direction and magnitude of its acceleration.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

(a)

Here we need to calculate the direction and magnitude of the electric field on an object which has charge $q=-3.6\ \mu{}C$ with mass $m=0.012\ kg$ experiences vertically upwards force ${F}_{e}$ due to uniform electric field $\overline{E}$ which is equal to weight $W$ .

Given data,

Mass, $m=0.012\ kg$

Charge, $q=-3.6\ \mu{}C=-3.6\times{}1{0}^{-6}C$

To find,

Direction and magnitude of electric field, $\overline{E}=?$
