Electrostatics Physics 12 Assignment

This document contains instructions for an electrostatics assignment with 5 questions: 1. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric force on a -1C charge due to two other point charges. 2. Determine the voltage needed for an electron traveling at 1.5x10^5 m/s to just reach a second parallel plate. 3. Calculate the speed of a proton that is released from rest 2.0 m from a fixed 2C charge. 4. Determine the mass of a small sphere with a charge of 2.4C suspended between two charged plates. 5. Explain how data from an experiment measuring electrostatic force F versus separation distance r between a positive charge
