Problem 5:   Common static electricity involves charges varying from nanocoulombs to microcoulombs. Part (a)  How many electrons are needed to form a charge of Q1 = –10 nC? N= Part (b)  How many electrons must be removed from a neutral object to leave a net charge of Q2 = 2.8 μC? N= Problem 6:   8.8 × 1020 electrons move through a pocket calculator during a particular day’s operation.  Par.t Calculate the total charge, in coulombs, of the electron that pass through the calculator? Q= Problem 8:   A certain lightning bolt moves 38 C of charge. How many fundamental units of charge is this , in moles? N mol= Problem 9:   A 2.5 g copper penny is given a charge of -1.3 nC. How many electrons were transferred in order to create on the penny? N e= Problem 10:   A 2.5 g copper penny is given a charge of 4.9 nC. Part B How many electrons were transferred in order to create the charge on the penny? Part C If at most one electron is removed from any single atom, what percent of the atoms are ionized by this charging process? Ne/NCu= % Problem 25:   A particle with charge q = +3e and mass m = 7.8 × 10-26 kg is injected horizontally with speed 1.4 × 106 m/s into the region between two parallel horizontal plates. The plates are 28 cm long and an unknown distance d apart. The particle is injected midway between the top and bottom plates. The top plate is negatively charged and the bottom plate is positively charged, so that there is an upward-directed electric field between the plates, of magnitude E = 37 kN/C. Ignore the weight of the particle. Part A How long, in seconds, does it take for the particle to pass through the region between the plate? Part B When the particle exits the region between the plates, what will be the magnitude of its vertical displacement from its entry height, in millimeters? Problem 28:   Suppose a speck of dust in an electrostatic precipitator has Np = 2.25 × 1017 protons in it and carries a net charge of Q = -68nC. Let qe represent the charge of an electron. Part A Enter an expression for the number of electrons Ne in the speck of dust in terms of the charge of an electron ,qe, and other variables from the problem statement. Part B How many electrons are in the speck of dust? Problem 29:   A bacterium has 3.1 × 1016 protons and a net charge of 5.4 pC. Part A How many fewer electrons are there than protons? Np - Ne = Part B If you paired them up, what fraction of the protons would have no electrons? (Np - Ne) / Np = Problem 30:   Suppose you had a 115 g piece of sulfur. What net charge, in coulombs, would you place on it if you put an extra electron on 1 in 1012 of its atoms? (Sulfur has an atomic mass of 32.1) Problem 31:   Suppose a piece of dirt in an electrostatic precipitator has 0.85 × 1017 protons in it and carries a net charge of –4.7 nC. How many electrons does it have? Problem 32:   A 51 g nugget of copper has a net charge of 1.95 μC. What fraction of the copper's electrons has been removed? Each copper atom has 29 protons, and copper has an atomic mass of 63.5. Nremoved / Ninitial =   Problem 33:   A speck of dust in an electrostatic precipitator has 1.1×1012×1012 protons in it, and it has a net charge of -4.5 nC (a very large charge for a small speck). How many electrons are in the speck of dust? Problem 34:   Plutonium has an atomic mass of 244 and each plutonium atom has 94 protons. How many coulombs of positive charge are there in 4.3 kg of plutonium?  Problem 35:   An amoeba has 1.4×1016×1016 protons and a net charge of 0.36 pC.
