You have a summer intern position with a company that designs and builds nanoma- chines. An engincer with the company is designing a microscopic oscillator to help keep time, and you've been assigned to help him analyze the design. He wants to place a negative charge at the center of a very small, positively charged metal loop. His claim is that the negative charge will undergo simple harmonic motion at a frequency determined by the amount of charge on the loop. (a) Consider a negative charge near the center of a positively charged ring. Show that there is a restoring force on the charge if it moves along the z-axis but stays close to the center. That is, show there's a force that tires to keep the charge at z = 0. (b) Show that for small oscillations, with amplitude < R, a particle of mass m with charge -q undergoes simple harmonic motion with frequency 1 2n V 4T€omR3 R and Q are the radius and charge of the ring. (c) Evaluate the oscillation frequency for an clectron at the center of a 2.0 um- diameter ring charged to 1.0 × 10–13 C.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, which depicts a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to pass through.Randomized VariablesE = 2.7 × 104 N/C Calculate the horizontal component of the electron's acceleration if the field strength is 2.7 × 104 N/C. Express your answer in meters per second squared, and assume the electric field is pointing in the negative x-direction as shown in the figure.
In Thomson’s model, an atom is a positively charged spherical material in which negatively charged electrons are embedded like chocolate chips on a ball of cookie dough. Consider such an atom, made up of a uniformly charged sphere with charge +e and radius R and a point charge with mass m and charge −e. a. Locate the position of electrostatic equilibrium for the electron inside the sphere. b. Assume further that the sphere has little or no resistance to the electron’s mo- tion. If the electron is displaced from equilibrium by a distance less than R, show that the resulting motion of the electron would be simple harmonic. c. If the electron was displaced from equilibrium by a distance greater than R, would the electron oscillate? Would its motion be simple harmonic?

The foot of your average gecko is covered with billions of tinyhair tips—called spatulae—that are made of keratin, the proteinfound in human hair. A subtle shift of the electron distribution inboth the spatulae and the wall to which a gecko clings producesan adhesive force by means of the van der Waals interaction between molecules. Suppose a gecko uses its spatulae to cling to a vertical windowpane. If you were to describe this situation in terms ofa coefficient of static friction, ms, what value would you assign toms? Is this a sensible way to model the gecko’s feat? Explain.
ou have a summer job as an assistant technician for a telephone company in California.During a recent earthquake, a 1.0-mile long underground telephone line is crushed atsome point. This telephone line is made up of two parallel copper wires of the samediameter and same length, which are normally not connected. At the place where theline is crushed, the two wires make contact. Your boss wants you to find this placeso that the wire can be dug up and fixed. You disconnect the line from the telephonesystem by disconnecting both wires of the line at both ends. You then go to one end ofthe line and connect one terminal of a 6.0-V battery to one wire, and the other terminalof the battery to one terminal of an ammeter. When the other terminal of the ammeteris connected to the other wire, the ammeter shows that the current through the wire is1.0 A. You then disconnect everything and travel to the other end of the telephone line,where you repeat the process and find a current of 1/3 A.
Problem A newly discovered light positively charged particle has a mass of m and charge q. Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle with a positive charge Q and mass M. When the light particle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directly away from the heavy particle with a speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle? (Consider the Newtonian Gravitation acting between the two charged particles. Ignore the effects of external forces) Solution: We may solve this using two approaches. One involves the Newton's Laws and the other involving Work-Energy theorem. To avoid the complexity of vector solution, we will instead employ the Work-Energy theorem, more specifically, the Conservation of Energy Principle. Let us first name the lighter particle as object 1 and the heavy particle as object 2. Through work-energy theorem, we will take into account all of the energy of the…
