> Name E&M: WS4 Hour 1. Suppose you are asked to detect the presence of and measure the strength of an electrical field in space. a) What do you need to do to detect the presence of an electric ficld at a location in space? anu b)_ What do you need to measure to determine the magnitude (strength) of the field? | Ak Know? acini tt Ty reute ©), How should the sizeof the test charge compare to the amount of charge that produces the field? VE tha tat wl a . ee abies festreked 2. What isthe relationship between the Blectric Field Strength and the distance fiom the point source? Ifyou move three times further away, what will happen to the field strength? 3. What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field 0.25 meters away from a point charge with -5x 10°C. Drawa diagram. Use proportional reasoning to find the field strength at positions 0.125 meters away and 0.75 meters away. 4, Use the diagram to decide on the direction of the net electric field at the locations on the diagram marked by the black dots. Think about relative magnitude as you draw your field arrows. ca ate \ 5. Two point charges are placed on the y-axis. One is +3 x 10 C and located at position (0,2 m), the other is -2 x 10° C and located at the origin. Use the diagram to find the magnitude and direction of the electric ficld and the force on a+ 1 x 10° C test charge placed in the following locations. a @,1m) bv. 0,-2m) c. (1m, 0) 7 08 x10*c 6. Aregion in space has a uniform electric field of strength equal to 400 N/C, that points to the right, A+2.0x 10° C test charge with a mass of 0.1 grams is placed in the ficld at rest and released. a. Describe the motion of the charge in the field after it is released. b. What is the electric force on the charge? c. What is the acceleration of the charge as it moves in the field. d. After the charge has moved 1.0 meters, how fast will it be moving? aN
