A small piece of dust of mass m = 1.0 mg travels through an electric air cleaner
Question:
A small piece of dust of mass m = 1.0 mg travels through an electric air cleaner in which the electric field is 500 N/C. The electric force on the dust particle is equal to the weight of the particle.
(a) What is the charge on the dust particle?
(b) If this charge is provided by an excess of electrons, how many electrons does that correspond to?
Step by Step Answer:
The electric field at any point is the force per unit charge at that po...View the full answer

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
