A charge requires of energy to be moved between two points in an electric field.
What is the order of magnitude of the potential difference between the two points?
A coil of wire with 100 turns and a radius of 1.4 cm is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field of strength 0.510 T. The magnetic field strength is then changed to 0.030 T in 0.020 s.
Calculate the magnitude of electromotive force (emf) induced in the coil. Show your working.
An electron is m away from a proton. Calculate the net electrostatic force (to 3 significant figures) and direction of force that the electron will experience.
The centres of two small equally positively charged metallic spheres are separated by a distance of 0.30 m and experience a force of 0.025 N between them.
Calculate the charge on each of the metallic spheres. Show your working.
