the axis of the ring at (a) 1.00 cm, (b) 5.00 cm, (c) 30.0 cm, and (d) 100 cm from the center of the
ring.

2. A uniformly charged disk of radius 35.0 cm carries charge with a density of 7.90 x 10-3 C/m2.
Calculate the electric field on the axis of the disk at (a) 5.00 cm, (b) 10.0 cm, (c) 50.0 cm, and (d)
200 cm from the center of the disk.

the time interval in which it travels 5.00 cm horizontally, and (c) the horizontal and vertical
components of its velocity after it has traveled 5.00 cm horizontally.

5. A uniform electric field of magnitude 640 N/C exists between two parallel plates that are 4.00 cm

the negative plate. Determine the distance from the positive plate at which the two pass each
other. (Ignore the electrical attraction between the proton and electron.)

8. The difference in potential between the accelerating plates in the electron gun of a television
picture tube is about 25 000 V. If the distance between these plates is 1.50 cm, what is the
magnitude of the uniform electric field in this region?

9. An electron moving parallel to the x axis has an initial speed of 3.70 x 10 6 m/s at the origin. Its
