1) What is the speed (m/s) of a eV electron (Express your answer to 2 decimal places using scientific notation in the form 1.22e6 where this would be 1220000.)


2)Two identical coulomb point charges are initially 5.5 cm from each other. If they are released at the same instant from rest, how fast will they be moving (m/s) when they are very far from each other (Express your answer to 2 decimal places using scientific notation)? Assume they have identical masses of 2.60 gm.

3)How much energy to the nearest joule flows into a capacitor of capacitance farads when it is connected to a 6 volt battery

4)Two parallel plates are placed mm apart in air. What maximum potential difference (to the nearest Volt) may be placed across them so as to not exceed the E =3.0*10^6 V/m breakdown value of air.

5)A parallel plate capacitor has a capacitance of 25 pico-farads that increases to pico-farads when a dielectric is inserted between the plates. What is the dielectric constant (to 2 decimal places) of the inserted material?

6)An electron is accelerated from rest to a potential difference of volts, what is the velocity (in m/s) of the electron? (Express your answer to 2 decimal places using scientific notation)

7)An Alpha Particle having the charge of two protons is accelerating through an electric potential difference of volts. What is the particle's change in energy to the nearest electron volt

8)What is the particle's change in energy in joules? (Express your answer to 2 decimal places using scientific notation)

9)The electron beam sweeps through 525 horizontal lines on the TV picture tube face in a time of 1/30 of a second. How much time is required to sweep through lines? (To the nearest millisecond)
