In a particular region of the earth’s atmosphere, the electric field above the Earth’s surface has been measured to be 150 N/C downward at an altitude of 280 m and 170 N/C downward at an altitude of 410 m. Neglecting the curvature of the earth, calculate the volume charge density of the atmosphere assuming it to be uniform between 280 m and 410 m. The permittivity of free space is 8.8542 × 10^−12 C2/N · m^2. Answer in units of...
It is found experimentally that the electric field in a certain region of Earth's atmosphere is directed vertically down. At a certain location, at an altitude of 508 m the electric field has magnitude 19.6 N/C and at an altitude of 780 m the magnitude is 76.0 N/C. Find the net amount of charge contained in a cube with horizontal faces at altitudes of 508 and 780 m. Neglect the curvature of Earth. Give answer in the form of "+/-a.bc...
In the air over a particular region at an altitude of 500 m above the ground, the electric field is 150 N/C directed downward. At 600 m above the ground, the electric field is 110 N/C downward. What is the average volume charge density in the layer of air between these two elevations?
7) A uniform electric field of 1500 N/C is incident on the earth's surface at an angle of 25° from the vertical. What is the electric flux in a square meter? Neglect the curvature of the earth's surface
Chapter 23, Problem 013 is The electric fleld in a certaln region of Earth's atmosphere is directed vertically down. At an altitude of 375 m the fleld has magnitude 71.3 N/C; at an altitude of 239 m, the magnitude is 137 N/C, Find the net amount of charge contalned in a cube 136 m on edge, with altitude of 375 m horizontal faces at altitudes of 239 m and 375 m Number the toierance is t/-2% acesatbitudes of 239 m...
You are working as an intern for a meteorological laboratory. You are out in the field taking measurements with a device that measures electric fields. You measure the electric field in the air immediately above the Earth's surface to be 147 N/C directed downward. (Assume the radius of the Earth is 6.37 x 106 m.) (a) Determine the surface charge density (in C/m2) on the ground. -1.30e-9 C/m2 (b) Imagine the surface charge density is uniform over the planet. Determine...
The electric field above the surface of the Earth is approximately 150 N/C, pointing downward toward the Earth's surface. Suppose a proton is fired straight upward from the surface of the Earth at a speed of 5.0x105 m/s. Determine how far the proton will travel before coming to a stop. 7.
At the earth’s surface there is a measurable electric field of 150 N/C that is directed down (towards the center of the earth). This implies that the solid part of the planet (from the surface to the core) has a net electric charge. Assuming that earth is a conductor, calculate (a) the sign of this charge (+ or –), (b) the surface charge density, (c) the total surface charge of the earth and (c) the number of elementary charges that...
