An air ionizer filters particles of dust, pollen, and other allergens from the air using electric forces. In one type
of ionizer (see diagram), a stream of air is drawn in with a speed of 3.0 m/s. The air passes through a fine, highly
charged wire mesh that transfers electric charge to the particles. Then the air passes through parallel “collector”
plates that attract the charged particles and trap them in a filter. Consider a dust particle of radius 6.0 µm, mass
1.0 × 10–13 kg, and charge 100e. The plates are 10 cm long and are separated by a distance of 1.0 cm. Ignore
gravity. Assume that the speed of dust particles does not change after crossing the mesh.
