The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.010-10mis3.710-9N. (a) What is the charge of each ion? (b) How many electrons are 鈥渕issing鈥 from each ion (thus giving the ion its charge imbalance)?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The charge of each ion is 3.210-19C.

b) The number of missing electrons from each ion is 2.

Step by step solution

01

Stating the given data

a) Separation distance of the ionsr=5.010-10m ,

b) The magnitude of force between the ions F=3.7x10-9N,

c) They are identical, that is,havingthe same charge,q .

02

Understanding the concept of Coulomb’s law and charge quantisation

Using the concept of Coulomb's law, we can get the charge on each ion with the given data. As we know, a charged particle emits energy in the form of packets; thus, the number of electrons emitted or present can be considered as a multiple factor of the electronic charge.

Formula:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between any two particles isF=k|q1||q2|r2F=k|q1||q2|r2. (i)

The number of electrons present is. n=qe(ii)

03

a) Calculation of the charge on each ion

Let the charge of each ion be q. Now, using the magnitude of the force between the ions in equation (i), the charge on each ion is given as(for q1=q2=q)

localid="1662991888956" width="279">q=rFk=5.010-10m3.710-9N9.0109Nm2C2=3.210-19C

Hence, the value of the charge on each ion is 3.210-19C.

04

b) Calculation of the missing electrons from each ion

Let nbe the number of electrons missing from each ion. Then using the above value of charge on each ion in equation (ii), we can get the value of missing electrons on each ion as follows:

n=3.210-19C1.610-19C=2

Hence, the value of missing electrons on each ion is 2.

In Fig. 21-43, six charged particles surround particle 7 at radial distances of either d=1.0cmor2d, as drawn. The charges are,q1=+2e,q2=+4e,q3=+e,q=2e,,q5=+2e,q6=+8e, q7=+6ewith e=1.601019C. What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force on particle 7?

In Fig. 21-15, a central particle of charge-qis surrounded by two circular rings of charged particles. What are the magnitude and direction of the net electrostatic force on the central particle due to the other particles? (Hint:Consider symmetry.)

In Fig. 21-25, four particles form a square. The charges areq1=q2=Q, and q2=q3=q. (a) What is Q/qif the net electrostatic force on particles 1 and 4 is zero? (b) Is there any value of qthat makes the net electrostatic force on each of the four particles zero? Explain.

In crystals of the salt cesium chloride, cesium ions Cs+form the eight corners of a cube and a chlorine ion Clis at the cube鈥檚 center (Fig. 21-36). The edge length of the cube is 0.40nm. The Cs+ions are each deficient by one electron (and thus each has a charge of role="math" localid="1661790179659" e), and the Clion has one excess electron (and thus has a charge of -e). (a)What is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force exerted on the Clion by the eight Cs+ions at the corners of the cube? (b) If one of theCs+ions is missing, the crystal is said to have a defect; what is the magnitude of the net electrostatic force exerted on theClion by the seven remainingCs+ions?
