1.Sparks occur when the electric field in air exceeds 3 x 106 N/C. This is because free electrons normally present in air are accelerated to such high speeds that their kinetic energy will overcome the potential energy holding other electrons to atoms. When those electrons rearrange themselves after such a collision, a flash of light is emitted. Let us suppose that the work done on an electron must give it an energy of 3 x 10-19 J to cause this ionization. How far does an electron involved in making in a spark travel through the air before it collides with an atom?

Two conductors, a and b, are each in the shape of a tetrahedron. but of different sizes. they are charged in the following manner: 1. tetrahedron a is charged from an electrostatic generator to charge q. 2. tetrahedron a is briefly touched to tetrahedron b. 3. steps 1 and 2 are repeated until the charge on tetrahedron b reaches a maximum value. if the charge on tetrahedron b was q/4 after the first time it touched tetrahedron a. what is the final charge qbmax on tetrahedron b?
