Question

1-a) Does an electrically neutral particle that has mass interact with an electric

field? b) Does a charged particle interact with a gravitational field?

2- Can electrical and gravitational fields exist in the same place at the same

time?

3- If you know the electric field E at some location, how can you determine the

magnitude and direction of the electric force exerted by that field on an object

carrying a charge q and placed at that location?

4- A water droplet carrying a positive charge is released from rest in a uniform

horizontal electric field near Earth’s surface. The horizontal electric force is

comparable in magnitude to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth. Describe

the droplet’s trajectory.

Explanation / Answer

1)

a) No, an electrically neutral particle do not interact with an electric field , only charges particles interact with electric field.

b)

as every particle have some mass ,

hence , a charged particle will also interact with gravitational field

2)

Yes , electric field and gravitational fields can exist at the same time ,

as there is no interaction between them
