A +5.00-μC point charge is placed at the 0.0 cm mark of a meter stick and a -4.00-μC point charge is placed at the 50.0 cm mark. At what point on a line through the ends of the meter stick is the electric field equal to zero?

A tiny particle carries a charge of What is the energy density in the electric field at a distance of from this charge? (ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2, k = 1/4πε0 = 9.0 × 109 N ∙ m2/C2)

The zirconium nucleus contains 40 protons, and an electron is 1.0 nm from the nucleus. What is the electric force on the electron due to the nucleus? ( e = 1.60 × 10-19 C, k = 1/4πε0 = 9.0 × 109 N ∙ m2/C2)

However, this year, Alex has been struggling to keep up with the increased academic demands and extracurricular activities. Alex’s parents have high expectations and frequently remind Alex of the importance of maintaining a top GPA to secure a scholarship for college.  During a crucial midterm exam in their Advanced Placement (AP) Biology class, Alex was caught using a cheat sheet hidden in their sleeve. The teacher noticed Alex glancing at the cheat sheet multiple times and confiscated it. Alex was immediately sent to the principal’s office.  When confronted, Alex broke down in tears and admitted to cheating. Alex explained that the pressure to perform well had become overwhelming.
