Initially two electrons are fixed in place with a separation of 2.00渭尘. How much work must we do to bring the third electron in from infinity to complete an equilateral triangle?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The work is 2.301022J.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given data:

Distance between two fixed electrons,d=2渭尘=2106m.

The shape of the system is, Equilateral triangle.

02

Determining the concept:

Electric potential, the amount of work required to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an electric field.

Potential due to system of charges.

Formulae:

The work done is define by,

W=(e)Vp

The electric potential is defined by,

VP=k(e)d+k(e)d

Where, W is the work done, V is potential energy, k is the Coulomb鈥檚 constant having a value 9109Nm2/C2, and e is the electric charge having value 1.61019C.

03

(a) Determining the work to be done:

The net potential at point P (the place where we are to place the third electron) due to the fixed charges is computed using,

VP=k(e)d+k(e)d=2k(e)d=2(9109Nm2/C2)(1.61019C)2106m=1.4410-3V

Then the required 鈥渁pplied鈥 work is,

W=(-e)Vp=(1.61019C)(1.44103V)=2.301022J

Hence, the required work is 2.301022J.

In Fig. 24-60, a charged particle (either an electron or a proton) is moving rightward between two parallel charged plates separated by distance d=2.0 mm. The plate potentials are V1= -70.0 Vand V2= -50.0V. The particle is slowing from an initial speed of 90.0 km/sat the left plate. (a) Is the particle an electron or a proton? (b) What is its speed just as it reaches plate 2?
