A tiny charged pellet of mass m is suspended at rest by the
electric field between two horizontal, charged metallic plates. the
lower plate has a charge and the upper plate has a negative charge.
Which statement in the answers below is NOT true.
a) The electric field between the plates points vertically
upward.
b) The pellet is negatively charged.
c) The magnitude of the electric force on the pellet is equal to
mg.
d) If the magnitude of charge on the plates increased, the pellet
begins to move upward.
Please explain how you came to the right answer.
a) The electric field between the plates points vertically
upward.
since field is acting horizontal
(b) because it can be +ve or -ve which we cannot tell since it is in equilibrium
a) The electric field between the plates points vertically
upward is flase as given that field is acting horizontal

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged parallel plates 1.50 apart. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate in a time interval 1.41×10−6 . A) Find the magnitude of the electric field. Use 1.60×10−19 for the magnitude of the charge on an electron and 1.67×10−27 for the mass of a proton. ------ N/C B)Find the speed of the proton at...
A Proton between Oppositely Charged Plates A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged parallel plates 1.55 cm apart. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate in a time interval 1.56x10-6 s. Part A Find the magnitude of the electric field. Use 1.60x10-19 C for the magnitude of the charge on an electron and 1.67x10-27 kg for the mass of a...
In the early 1900s, Robert Millikan used small charged droplets of oil, suspended in an electric field, to make the first quantitative measurements of the electron’s charge. A 0.74-μm-diameter droplet of oil, having a charge of +e+e, is suspended in midair between two horizontal plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. The upward electric force on the droplet is exactly balanced by the downward force of gravity. The oil has a density of 860 kg/m3, and the capacitor plates are 6.0 mm...
A uniform electric field exists in a region between two oppositely charged plates. An electron is released from rest at the surface of the negatively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate 6.00 cm. away, in a time of 1.80E-08 s. What is the magnitude of the electric field (in newtons/coulomb)?
A uniform electric field exists in a region between two oppositely charged plates. An electron is released from rest at the surface of the negatively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, 2.8 cm away, in a time 2.1 times 10^-8 s. What is the speed of the electron as it strikes the second plate? What is the magnitude of the electric field?
A uniform electric field exists in a region between two oppositely charged plates. An electron is released from rest at the surface of the negatively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, 1.6 cm away, in a time 4.6 × 10-8 s. (a) What is the speed of the electron as it strikes the second plate? (b) What is the magnitude of the electric field?
A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged parallel plates 1.59 cm apart. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate in a time interval 1.59×10−6 s . Part A) Find the magnitude of the electric field. Use 1.60×10−19 C for the magnitude of the charge on an electron and 1.67×10−27 kg for the mass of a proton. __________ N/C Part B)...
A piece of dust, with mass 0.1 μg, is in between two charged parallel plates. Initially the electric field between the plates is 2000 N/C, and the dust particle is at rest, and suspended in the air between the two plates. (a) What is the magnitude of the charge on the dust? A laser is used to shine light on the particle which results in removing electrons from the dust. After the light is applied, the particle begins to fall...
In the figure a uniform, upward electric field of magnitude 1.50 × 103 N/C has been set up between two horizontal plates by charging the lower plate positively and the upper plate negatively. The plates have length L = 14.0 cm and separation d = 1.80 cm. An electron is then shot between the plates from the left edge of the lower plate. The initial velocity of the electron makes an angle θ = 50.0° with the lower plate and...
