1. Two charges are 60cm apart, in air. One charge Q1 is +1.67 x 10-7C; The other Q2 is

-1.67 x 10-7 C. What is the electric field intensity at P midway between the charges?


2. The average distance between the electron and the proton in a certain atom is 5 x 10-10m. How strong is the electric field that the proton experiences?


3. Two charges Q1 = 2.3 x 10-9C and Q2 = 3.5 x 10-9C, are 55mm apart. What is the electric field halfway between them?


4. Two charges of 6uC are 2.5m apart. Where is the electric field along the line joining them equal to zero?


5. What is the electric field at one vertex of an equilateral triangle whose sides are 10cm long if there are charges of -30uC at the other vertexes?


Explain: Can the force caused by an electric field be greater than the force due to a gravitational field? Give an example to prove this.



A small source of sound waves emits uniformly in all directions. The total power output of the source is P. By what factor must P increase if the sound intensity level at a distance of 20.0 m from the source is to increase 5.00 dB?


1. A coil with 25 turns of wire is wrapped around a hollow tube with an area of 1.8 m². Each turn has the same area as the tube. A uniform magnetic field is applied at a right angle to the plane of the coil. If the field increases uniformly from 0.00 T to 0.55 T in 0.85 s, find the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil. If the resistance in the coil is 2.5 , find the magnitude of the induced current in the coil.



2. A coil consists of 200 turns of wire having a total resistance of 2.0. Each turn is a square of side 18 cm, and a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the coil is turned on. If the field changes linearly from 0 to 0.50 Tin 0.80 s, what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil while the field is changing? What is the magnitude of the induced current in the coil while the field is changing?

Three charged particles are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 1.2
