In Fig. 23-25, an electron is released between two infinite non-conducting sheets that are horizontal and have uniform surface charge densities(+)and(-), as indicated. The electron is subjected to the following three situations involving surface charge densities and sheet separations. Rank the magnitudes of the electron鈥檚 acceleration, greatest first.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rank of the magnitudes of the electron鈥檚 acceleration is a1=a2=a3.

Step by step solution

01

The given data:

Fig. 23-25 shows an electron being released between two infinite non-conducting sheets and the table for three different situations is given.

02

Understanding the concept of electron’s acceleration

Equating Newton's second law of motion with the force due to the electric field on a particle, the acceleration of the particle can be calculated. Now, considering the situation of the electric field for an infinite long conducting sheet, you can get the electric field value within the space of the sheets.

Formulae:

The electric force at a point due to a point charge,

F=qE 鈥.. (i)

The force due to Newton鈥檚 second law,

F=ma 鈥.. (ii)

The electric field for an infinite non-conducting sheet,

E=20 鈥.. (iii)

Here, F is the force, q is the charge, E is the electric field, m is the mass, a is the acceleration, is the density, and 0 is the permittivity of free space.

03

Calculation of the rank of the magnitudes of the electron’s acceleration:

Using equation (iii), the electric field of the two non-conducting sheets can be given as:

E+=+20

E=20

Here, the direction of the electric fields is the same for both the sheets as the electron is attracted to the negative sheet and repulsed by the positive sheet (one of the electric fields has a negative sign).

Thus, the net electric field can be given as:

E=+2020 鈥.. (iv)

Now, comparing equations (i) and (ii), we can get the acceleration of the electron as follows:

ma=qEa=qEm

a=qm+2020 鈥.. (v)

Now, for the given situation 1, the electron鈥檚 acceleration can be given using the given data from table in equation (v) as follows:

a1=qm420420=qm820=4辩蟽尘蔚0

For the given situation 2, the electron鈥檚 acceleration can be given using the given data from table in equation (v) as follows:

a2=qm72020=qm820=4辩蟽尘蔚0

For the given situation 3, the electron鈥檚 acceleration can be given using the given data from table in equation (v) as follows:

a3=qm320620=qm820=4辩蟽尘蔚0

Hence, the rank of the situations according to acceleration is a1=a2=a3.

Figure 23-61 shows a Geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation, which causes ionization of atoms. A thin, positively charged central wire is surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge, creating a strong radial electric field. The shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. A particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. The resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. However, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. More free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. The resulting 鈥渁valanche鈥 of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. Suppose that the radius of the central wire is 25 mm, the inner radius of the shell 1.4 cm, and the length of the shell 16 cm. If the electric field at the shell鈥檚 inner wall is,2.9104N/C what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

(b) at a point 2R from the center of the shell, greatest first.
