Question
A collision experiment is done on a horizontal table kept in an elevator. Do you expect a change in the results if the elevator is accelerated up or down because of the noninertial character of the frame?
✓

Answer

Velocity and mass are only two components that affect collision between two bodies so in this change in acceleration due to gravity will not affect the collision between two bodies. (if kept horizontally)

ln practice, we deal with charges much greater in magnitude than the charge on an electron, so we can ignore the quantum nature of charges and imagine that the charge is spread in a region in a continuous manner.

When a charged particle is placed in an electric field, it experiences an electrical force. If this is the only force on the particle, it must be the net force. The net force will cause the particle to accelerate according to Newton's second law. So $\vec{\text{F}}_\text{e}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}=\text{m}\vec{\text{a}}$

If $\vec{\text{E}}$ is uniform, then $\vec{\text{a}}$ is constant and $\vec{\text{a}}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}\text{/ m.}$ If the particle has a positive charge, its acceleration is in the direction of the field. If the particle has a negative charge, its acceleration is in the direction opposite to the electric field. Since the acceleration is constant, the kinematic equations can be used.

The electrical capacitance of a conductor is the measure of its ability to hold electric charge. An isolated spherical conductor of radius R. The charge Q is uniformly distributed over its entire surface. It can be assumed to be concentrated at the centre of the sphere.
