An electron is released from rest on the axis of an electric dipole that has charge eand charge separation d=20 p³¾pm and that is fixed in place. The release point is on the positive side of the dipole, at distance7.0dfrom the dipole center. What is the electron’s speed when it reaches a point5.0dfrom the dipole center?

Short Answer

Expert verified

v=7.0×105″¾/²õ

Step by step solution

01

Given

d=20 p³¾=20×10−12″¾

02

Understanding the concept

After reading the question, The electric potential energy in the presence of a dipole isU=qVdipole.

U=qp c´Ç²õ θ4πεor2U=(−e)(ed)³¦´Ç²õ θ4πεor2θi=θf=0∘.

Apply the Law of Conservation of Energy: Kf+Uf=Ki+Ui.

03

Calculate the electron’s speed when it reaches a point  5.0d from the dipole center

Kf+Uf=Ki+Ui

12mv2=e2d4πεod2152−172=e24πεod125−149v2=2e24πεodm125−149 â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰d=20×10−12″¾, m=9.11×10−31 k²µv=2e24πεodm125−149v=7.0×105″¾/²õ

Thereforethe electron’s speed isv=7.0×105″¾/²õ

The electric field in a region of space has the components Ey = Ez = 0and Ex = (4.00N/C)x. Point Ais on the yaxis at y = 3.00m, and point Bis on the xaxis at x = 4.00m. What is the potential difference VB - VA?

In the rectangle of Fig. 24-55, the sides have lengths 5.0 cmand15 cm, q1= -5.0 mC, and q2= +2.0 mC. With V=0at infinity, what is the electric potential at (a) corner Aand (b) corner B? (c) How much work is required to move a charge q3= +3.0 mCfrom Bto Aalong a diagonal of the rectangle? (d) Does this work increase or decrease the electric potential energy of the three-charge system? Is more, less, or the same work required if q3 is moved along a path that is (e) inside the rectangle but not on a diagonal and (f) outside the rectangle?

A positron (charge +e, mass equal to the electron mass) is moving at 1.0x107 m/sin the positive direction of an xaxis when, at x=0, it encounters an electric field directed along the xaxis. The electric potential Vassociated with the field is given in Fig. 24-57. The scale of the vertical axis is set by Vs=500.0 V. (a) Does the positron emerge from the field at x=0(which means its motion is reversed) or at x=0.50 m(which means its motion is not reversed)? (b) What is its speed when it emerges?

Figure 24-32 shows a thin, uniformly charged rod and three points at the same distance d from the rod. Rank the magnitude of the electric potential the rod produces at those three points, greatest first.
