Honeybees acquire a charge while flying due to friction with the air. a 100 mg bee with a charge of +23 pc experiences an electric force in the earth’s electric field, which is typically 100 n/c, directed downward.
a) what is the ratio of the electric force on the bee to the bee's weight?
b) what electric field strength would allow the bee to hang suspended in the air? express your answer with the appropriate units.

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?

Raindrops acquire an electric charge as they fall. suppose a 2.4-mm-diameter drop has a charge of +13 pc. in a thunderstorm, the electric field under a cloud can reach 15,000 n/c, directed upward. for a droplet exposed to this field, how do the magnitude of the electric force compare to those of the weight force and what is the dircetion of the electric force?

To understand coulomb's law, electric fields, and the connection between the electric field and the electric force. coulomb's law gives the electrostatic force f_vec acting between two charges. the magnitude f of the force between two charges q_1 and q_2 depends on the product of the charges and the square of the distance r between the charges: f= k\frac{|q_1\,q_2|}{r^2}, where k = 1/(4\pi\epsilon_0)= 8.99 \times 10^9 \; {\rm n\cdot m^2/c^2}. the direction of the force is along the line connecting the two charges. if the charges have the same sign, the force will be repulsive. if the charges have opposite signs, the force will be attractive. in other words, opposite charges attract and like charges repel. because the charges are not in contact with each other, there must be an intermediate mechanism to cause the force. this mechanism is the electric field. the electric field at any location is equal to the force per unit charge experienced by a charge placed at that location. in other words, if a charge q experiences a force f_vec, the electric field e_vec at that point is {\vec e}=\frac{\vec f}{q}. the electric field vector has the same direction as the force vector on a positive charge and the opposite direction to that of the force vector on a negative charge. if the total positive charge is q = 1.62×10-6 c, what is the magnitude of the electric field caused by this charge at point p, a distance d = 1.53 m from the charge? (part c figure) enter your answer numerically in newtons per coulomb.

Honeybees accumulate charge as they fly, and they transfer charge to the flowers they visit. honeybees are able to sense electric fields; tests show that they can detect a change in field as small as 0.77 nc. honeybees seem to use this sense to determine the charges on flowers in order to detect whether or not a flower has been recently visited, so they can plan their foraging accordingly. as a check on this idea, let's do a quick calculation using typical numbers for charges on flowers. if a bee is at a distance of 24 cm, can it detect the difference between flowers that have a +30 pc charge and a +40 pc charge?
