SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTION CHE 232 FALL 2017

Session 2

1) If it takes 88.3 J of work to move 0.721 C of charge from a positive plate to a

negative plate, what is the potential difference (voltage) between the plates?

2) At what distance from a negative charge of 5.536 nC would the

electric field strength be 1.90 x 105 N/C ?

3) A thundercloud produces a vertical electric field of magnitude kN/C at ground level. You
hold a 22cm x 28cm sheet of paper horizontally below the cloud.

What is the electric flux through the sheet?

What would the flux be if you tilt the sheet of paper by 30?

What would the flux be if you hold the sheet of paper vertically?

4) Four identical charges ( 2.0 C each) are brought from infinity and fixed to a straight line. The
charges are located 0.40 m apart. Determine the electric potential energy of this group.
