Obtain a wire loop. The Loop represents the boundary of an imaginary flat surface of area A. (In order to allow the nails that represent the field to pass through the surface, you have only been given the boundary of the surface.)
Draw a diagram to show the relative orientation of the loop and the electric field so that the number of field lines that pass through the surface of the loop is:
• the maximum possible.
• the minimum possible.

- For your friend’s Final Year Project his supervisor gave him a task to measure and explain the electrical properties of the atmospheric layer between 200 m to 300 m altitude above SQU. To make the analysis simple, he asks him to consider SQU campus as a circle with approximate diameter of 3.0 km. Your friend released an electric field sensor attached to a balloon up in the sky. After a while when he got the sensor back, he found that the field values are 210 N/C and 75.0 N/C at 200 m and 300 m altitudes respectively. The direction of electric field is found to be downwards. But he has no clue, what to extract out of this data. Can you help?arrow_forwardAn electron is projected with an initial speed v0 = 1.70×106 m/s into the uniform field between the parallel plates in (Figure 1). Assume that the field between the plates is uniform and directed vertically downward, and that the field outside the plates is zero. The electron enters the field at a point midway between the plates. If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field. Express your answer in newtons per coulomb. Suppose that in the figure the electron is replaced by a proton with the same initial speed v0v0. Would the proton hit one of the plates?

- Explain why Electrostatic fields have many applications, but most are low “low - power” applications; that is relatively low forces are involved. Explain why the electric field intensity, E is zero inside a conductor under static conditions.arrow_forwardPlease solve this An electron with an initial velocity of (2X105 m/s)j enters a region; in which the electric field is (234 N/C) %. What is the speed of the electron in terms of 105 m/s at 1 nanoseconds after it enters the electric field region? electron mass = 9.1 X10-³¹ Kgarrow_forwardItem 5 This problem explores the behavior of charge on realistic (i.e. non-ideal) insulators. We take as an example a long insulating rod suspended by insulating wires. Assume that the rod is initially electrically neutral. For convenience, we will refer to the left end of the rod as end A, and the right end of the rod as end B (Figure 1). In the answer options for this problem, "weakly attracted/repelled" means "attracted/repelled with a force of magnitude similar to that which would exist between two balls, one of which is charged, and the other acquires a small induced charge". An attractive/repulsive force greater than this should be classified as "strongly attracted/repelled".
