Negative charge -Q is distributed uniformly around a quarter-circle of radius a that lies in the first quadrant with a center of curvature at the origin.

Find the x- and y- components of the net electric field at the origin.

When you push downward on a book at rest on a table, you feel an upward force. does this force depend on friction? defend your answer.

Astudent creates a model of a closed ecosystem by filling a glass tank half full with water, then adding 10 snails and two small aquatic plants. the next day, all the snails are dead. what is the most likely cause of their death?

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?
