Two particles of masses m₁ and m₂ carry identical charges. Starting from rest they are accelerated through the same potential difference. Then they enter into a region of uniform mThe breakdown field for air is about 2 10^6 volt / m . Therefore, the maximum charge that can be placed on a sphere of diameter 10 cm isA charge q is situated at the origin. Let E _ A , E _ B and E _ C be the electric fields at the points A (2,-3,-1), B (-1,-2,4) and C (2,-4,1) .
