Question

thanks!

A proton is placed at the origin of a coordinate system. An electron is placed at (x, y) - (0.5 m, 0.25 m). Find the force on the electron due to the proton in unit-vector notation. Find the magnitude of this force. Find the acceleration of the electron and proton from exercise 1. Express the acceleration in unit-vector notation and then find its magnitude. Imagine we have two spherical conductors each charged with some amount of charge. The first spherical conductor has a radius 0.1 m and carries charge q1 = +5 nC. The second spherical conductor has radius 0.2 m and carries a charge q2 = -3 nC. The spheres are connected momentarily with a wire. How much charge is on each sphere now? Find the electric field halfway between an electron and a proton separated by 0.005 mm. Find the acceleration of a 0.05 mg particle that carries a charge of +50 nC if it is placed in an electric field of strength 50 N/C.
