Answer:
q = 3.6 10⁵ C
Explanation:
To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth
r = 6 , 37 106 m
E = k q / r²
q = E r² / k
q =
q = 4.5 10⁵ C
Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius
r = 0.6 r_ Earth
r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m
E = k q / r²
q = E r² / k
q =
q = 3.6 10⁵ C
If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. The particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. Another way to look at this is that the magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle. The particle’s kinetic energy and speed thus remain constant. The direction of motion is affected but not the speed.
A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the paper (represented by the small × ’s—like the tails of arrows). The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude. The result is uniform circular motion.
0.4823 m/s
The initial velocity u1 of the ball=0
From the law of conservation of linear momentum.
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
(160×0)+(170×u1)=(160×0.3)+(170×0.2)
u1=0.4823m/s
