    The diagram shows an electron with an electron with speed 3.0 x 10 7 m s-1 entering perpendicularly an electric field of strength of
    2.0 x 104 V m-1 between a pair of parallel plates of length 5.0 cm.
    (a) Find
    (i) the electric force acting on the electron
    (ii) the acceleration of the electron
    (b) At the instant when the electron emerges from the field between the plates, find
    (i) the component of the velocity of the electron perpendicular to the plates.
    (ii) the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the electron.

    Example 12.2

    Figure 12- 1
    Air molecules ionize when the electric field strength exceeds 3.6x10 6 N C-1-. What is the maximum charge on the surface of a metal
    sphere of radius 0.50 cm before the sphere start to spark?

    SOLUTION :

    Here we can understand that if the sphere have enough amount of charge (+) then it will ionized the air molecules. When
    the air molecule is ionized the spark will occurred , this happen because the electron from the air will moved to the charge
    sphere.
    So the electric field strength before the spark is given by :

    If the electric potential at a point is +440 V, what is the electric potential energy of a -50 nC charge placed at that point?

    Solution
    U = QV = (-50 x 10-9 ) x 440 = -2.2 x 10-5 J

    triangle.

    Determine the electric potential energy of Q2 in this system of three charges.
