Introduction to Physics – Homework Assignment #7
1. Give the formula known as Coulomb’s Law. In this formula, is the constant “k” relatively
large or small compared to Newton’s universal gravitational constant “G”?
2. If you had a particle with a charge of 2 coulombs and the net electrostatic force was 12
newtons, what would the electric field (E) be?
3. A particle with a charge of 50 μC is placed in a uniform electric field of 10,000 N/C.
A. What is the net electrostatic force on this particle?
B. How much potential energy would be needed to move this particle a distance of 3
meters against this force?
C. How much voltage is being described in this situation (what is the change in electric
potential across those 3 meters)?
4. Electric charge moves through a wire at a rate of 2,000 μC every 0.001 seconds. What is
the amperage of this current?
