In Fig. 22-34 the electric field lines on the left have twice the separation of those on the right. (a) If the magnitude of the field at Ais40N/C, what is the magnitude of the force on a proton at A? (b) What is the magnitude of the field at B?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnitude of the force on a proton is6.4x10-18N
  2. The magnitude of the field at B is20N/C

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The electric charge of the proton,qp=1.610-19C
  2. Strength of the electric field at A with direction,role="math" localid="1657278375354" EA=(-40N/C)i^
  3. The electric field lines on the left are twice to that of the right.
02

Understanding the concept of electric field

Using the concept of electric field relation with force per unit charge, we can get the required value of the force and the electric field at B.

Formula:

The force on a charged particle in an electric field, F=q0E (1)

where q0= electric charge on the particle, and E= Strength of the electric field

03

a) Calculation of the magnitude of the force at A

As the force at A is orienting our x-axis rightward (soi^points right in the figure), we can calculate the electric field at A using equation (1) as follows:

F=(+1.610-19C)(-40N/Ci^)=(-6.410-18N)i^

Hence, the magnitude of the force on the proton is role="math" localid="1657279039599" 64x10-18Nand its direction-i is leftward.

04

b) Calculation of the magnitude of the electric field at B

The field strength is proportional to the 鈥渃rowdedness鈥 of the field lines. So, from the given data, we conclude that

EA=2EBEB=EA2=20N/C

Hence, the magnitude of the electric field is20N/C

Two large parallel copper plates are5.0cmapart and have a uniform electric field between them as depicted in Fig. 22-60. An electronis released from the negative plate at the same time that a proton is released from the positive plate. Neglect the force of the particles on each other and find their distance from the positive plate when they pass each other. (Does it surprise you that you need not know the electric field to solve this problem?)
