BackAn electret is similar to a magnet, but rather than being permanently magnetized, it has a permanent electric dipole moment. Suppose a small electret with electric dipole moment 1.0×10−7 C m is 25 cm from a small ball charged to +25 nC, with the ball on the axis of the electric dipole. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the ball?

The nuclei of large atoms, such as uranium, with protons, can be modeled as spherically symmetric spheres of charge. The radius of the uranium nucleus is approximately m. What magnitude of electric field does it produce at the distance of the electrons, which is about m?
A charge of nC is spread uniformly over the surface of one face of a nonconducting disk of radius cm. Why is the field in part (a) stronger than the field in part (b)? Why is the field in part (c) the strongest of the three fields? Note: Part (a) asked to find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this disk produces at a point on the axis of the disk a distance of cm from its center. Part (b) asked to find the magnitude and direction of the electric field at point , supposing that the charge were all pushed away from the center and distributed uniformly on the outer rim of the disk. Part (c) asked to find the magnitude and direction of the electric field at point if the charge is all brought to the center of the disk.
Three very large square charged planes are arranged as shown (on edge) in Fig. 21–78. From left to right, the planes have charge densities per unit area of -0.50μC/m², +0.25 μC/m² and -0.35 μC/m². Find the total electric field (direction and magnitude) at the points A, B, C, and D. Assume the plates are much larger than the distance AD.
