    What Is the Electric Field Strength Needed to Suspend a Proton?

    A proton (m = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg) is suspended at rest in a uniform electric field E. Take into account gravity at the Earth's surface, and determine E. I did this problem already but I'm not sure if it's correct... I used the equation: E = F / q = ma/e to get an answer of 1.02 x 10 ^-7...

    What equation am I supposed to use for potential difference?

    A huge 4.0-F capacitor has enough stored energy to heat 2.5 kg of water from 21 degree Celsius to 95 degree Celsius. What is the potential difference across the plates? What equation am I supposed to use for potential difference? Is it V = Change in PE / q V= - W / q...

    How Do You Calculate Molecule Spacing and Quantity Using the Ideal Gas Law?

    I'm kinda stuck with these problems... can somebody please help? 1) What is the average distance between nitrogen molecules at STP? I know that at STP: T=273K, P=1atm=1.013 x 10^5 N/m^2. How would I start solving this proble? 2) The lowest pressure attainable using the best available vacuum...
