Question 15

Dielectric breakdown, also known as lightening, occurs in air when the electric field exceeds 3 x 106 V/m. An automobile spark plug consists of two metal conductors separated by a distance of 0.72 mm. What is the minimum potential difference between these conductors that is needed for dielectric breakdown (a spark) in the spark plug, expressed in volts?

Question 16.

A charge moves a distance of 1.5 m at an angle of 100° with respect to a uniform 300 N/C electric field. Find the potential difference, in volts, between its starting and ending points.

Question 17

During a particular thunderstorm, the electric potential between a cloud and the ground is Vcloud - Vground = 1.6 x 108 V, with the cloud being at the higher potential. What is the change in an electron's potential energy when the electron moves from the ground to the cloud? Express your answer in eV.
