Document Summary

Please read the problems carefully and answer them in the space provided. Write on the back of the page, if necessary. Charge q experiences a repulsive force of 0. 50 mn when placed at a distance of 25 cm from charge q1, and it experiences an attractive force of 0. 25 mn when placed a distance of 75 cm from charge q2. The magnitude of the ratio q1/q2 is: 2/9, 2/3, 9/2, 6, 3/2, 18. Consider the arrangement of charges shown in the sketch. Determine the electric field at the position of charge iii. The net electrical flux through a spherical gaussian surface of radius 1. 0 cm is 24 nm2/c. If the radius of the surface is doubled to 2. 0 cm, the electric flux will become: 96 nm2/c, 24 nm2/c, 12 nm2/c, 6 nm2/c, 3 nm2/c. In each situation, two charged plates with the voltages shown are separated by a specified distance.

Two positivecharges (+Q = 1.00 microcoulombs) are heldin position at +,-2.25 centimeters along the x-axis, as shown in the diagram. A thirdpositive charge (+q = 0.05 microcoulombs and m= 6.5micro-kilograms) is free to move along thex-axis.

The magnitude of force between pairs ofcharges is given by F(Q1,Q2)=kQ1Q2/r^2, where the constant k is8.99x10^9 N*(m^2)/(Coulombs^2), Q1 and Q2 are the electric chargesgiven in Coulombs, and r is the distance between Q1 and Q2 given inmeters. Note that when both forces are positive, the forcebetween them is repulsive.

A)Is the motion of the small charge, q, an example of simple harmonicoscillation? Carefully explain why or why not.

B)Assume q<<Q Find the time for q to complete oneoscillation.
