Certain sharks can detect an electric field as weak as 1.00 μV/m. To grash how weak this field is, if you wanted to produce it between two parallel metal plates by connecting an ordinary 1.50 V AA battery across these plates, how far apart would the plates have to be?

In an ink-jet printer, drops of ink are given a certain amount ofcharge before they move between two large parallel plates. Thepurpose of the plates is to deflect the charges so that they arestopped by a gutter and do not reach the paper. The plates are d =1.5 cm long and have an electric field of E = 1.2 106 N/C betweenthem. Drops with a mass m = 0.14 ng, and a charge q = 1.0 10-16 C,are moving horizontally at a speed, v = 24 m/s, parallel to theplates. What is the vertical displacement of the drops when theyleave the plates? To answer this question, go through the followingsteps.
