1. A charge moves a distance of 1.7 cm in the
direction of a uniform electric field having
a magnitude of 200 N/C. The electrical
potential energy of the charge decreases by
9.69095 × 10−19 J as it moves.
Find the magnitude of the charge on the
moving particle. (Hint: The electrical poten-
tial energy depends on the distance moved in
the direction of the field.)
Answer in units of C
2. Initially, both metal spheres are neutral.
In a charging process, 1 × 1013 electrons are
removed from one metal sphere and placed on
a second sphere. Then the electrical poten-
tial energy associated with the two spheres is
found to be −0.061 J .
The Coulomb constant is 8.98755 ×
109 N · m2/C2 and the charge on an electron
is 1.6 × 10−19 C.
What is the distance between the two
spheres?
Answer in units of m.
