PROBLEMS Chapter 25: ELECTRIC POTENTIAL


HOMEWORK

Hand in your solutions in class, on:


Show the equations and calculations, and box your answer. Be sure to include the units.

NOTE: Any four questions from this HW will be graded, and the marks for this HW will be based on these only. (1, 3, 10,
18, 20, 23, 45)

1. Calculate the speed of a proton that is accelerated from rest through an electric potential difference of
120 V. Calculate the speed of an electron that is accelerated through the same electric potential difference.

3. A uniform electric field of magnitude 325 V/m is directed in the negative y


direction in Figure P25.3. The coordinates of point are (–0.200, –0.300) m, and those
of point are (0.400, 0.500) m. Calculate the electric potential difference using the
dashed-line path.

10. Calculate the electric potential 0.250 cm from an electron. (b) What is the electric potential difference
between two points that are 0.250 cm and 0.750 cm from an electron? (c) How would the answers change if the
electron were replaced with a proton?

18. At a certain distance from a charged particle, the magnitude of the electric field is 500 V/m and the
electric potential is –3.00 kV. (a) What is the distance to the particle? (b) What is the magnitude of the charge?

20. The three charged particles in Figure P25.20 are at the vertices of an isosceles triangle (where
d = 2.00 cm). Taking q = 7.00 C, calculate the electric potential at point A, the midpoint of the base.

23. Four identical charged particles (q = +10.0 C) are located on the corners of a rectangle as shown in
Figure P25.23. The dimensions of the rectangle are L = 60.0 cm and W = 15.0 cm. Calculate the change in
electric potential energy of the system as the particle at the lower left corner in Figure P25.23 is brought to
this position from infinitely far away. Assume the other three particles in Figure P25.23 remain fixed in
position.

45. How many electrons should be removed from an initially uncharged spherical conductor of
radius 0.300 m to produce a potential of 7.50 kV at the surface?
