Answer the following questions:
- The electron and proton of a hydrogen atom are separated, on average, by a distance of about 5.3 x 10-11 meters. Find the magnitudes of the electric force and the gravitational force that each particle exerts on the other.
Mass of electron = 9.109 x 10-31 kg
Mass of proton = 1.673 x 10 -27 kg
Charge of electron = -1.60 x 10-19 C
Charge of proton = +1.60 x 10-19 C
- A piece of Styrofoam has a charge of -0.004 C and is placed 3.0 m from a piece of salt with a charge of -0.003 C. How much electrostatic force is produced?
- Two coins lie 1.5 meters apart on a table. They carry identical electric charges. Approximately how large is the charge on each coin if each coin experiences a force of 2.0 N?
- Two balloons are charged with an identical quantity and type of charge: -0.0025C. They are held apart at a separation distance of 8 m. Determine the magnitude of the electrical force of repulsion between them.
- How much current is in a circuit that includes a 9-volt battery and a bulb with a resistance of 3 ohms?
- How much current is in a circuit that includes a 9-volt battery and a bulb with a resistance of 12 ohms?
- You have a large flashlight that takes 4 D-cell batteries. If the current in the flashlight is 2 amps, what is the resistance of the light bulb? (Hint: A D-cell battery has 1.5 volts.)
- According to Ohm’s Law, how much current goes through each of the two resistors in this circuit? Draw the paths of all currents in this circuit.
- Three resistors with resistance values of 12-Ω, 3-Ω, and 21-Ω are placed in series. These would provide a resistance that is equivalent to one _____-Ω resistor.
- In this circuit, three resistors receive the same amount of voltage (24 volts) from a single source. Calculate the amount of current “drawn” by each resistor, as well as the amount of power dissipated by each resistor:
