Physics 214 & 202  OTQ #6

 

1. A positively charged object travelling east moves into an electric field directed south.  Assuming the field begins at the objects current position, draw the path taken by the charged object from this point.

 

 

These two solid spheres initially have the charge evenly distributed on their surfaces. 

2.  If a proton were to be placed at position A, what would be the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on it due to the two charged spheres?

 

3.  If a proton were to be placed at position B, what would be the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on it due to the two charged spheres?

 

4.   If a proton were to be placed at position C, what would be the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on it due to the two charged spheres?
