The imaging drum of a photocopier is positively charged to attractnegatively charged toner particles. Near the surface of the drum,its electric field has magnitude 1.70 x 10^5 N/C. A toner particleis to be attracted to the drum with a force that is 7 times theweight of the particle.

(a) What must be the ratio of the mass of a toner particle to themagnitude of its net charge?

(b) If the toner particles are made of carbon (atomic number 6,atomic mass 12.0 g/mol), how many carbon atoms are there for eachexcess electron on a toner particle?

Five equal-mass particles (A–E) enter a region of uniform magnetic field directed into the page. They follow the trajectories illustrated in (Figure 1).

A model of a red blood cell portrays the cell as a sphericalcapacitor, a positively charged liquid sphere of surface area Aseparated from the surrounding negatively charged fluid by amembrane of thickness t. Tiny electrodes introduced into theinterior of the cell show a potential difference of 100 mV acrossthe membrane. The membrane's thickness is estimated to be 96 nm andhas a dielectric constant of 5.00.
(a) If an average red blood cell has a mass of 1.1e-12 kg, estimatethe volume of the cell and thus find its surface area. The densityof blood is 1100 kg/m3. volume = 1 m3
surface area = 2 m2
