Suppose we want to raise a litter of lab rats in an electric Field that points 120 N/C upward, rather than the more usual downward direction. Model a rat as an ellipsoid 0.150 m long, 0.070 m wide, and 0.050 m tall, with internal polarizability 15. T {an ellisoid is a 3-d shape that has each cross-section is an ellipse ... ellipse area A = (big diameter) x (small diameter) 4 [preliminary a: Calculate the Electric field inside the rat body.] B: how much electric charge is on the top half of the rat? ] [ follow-up c: what's the electric Force applied to the rat's back? ] Suppose we want to raise a litter of lab rats in an electric Field that points 120 N/C upward, rather than the more usual downward direction.
