In a cathode-ray tube, an electron travels in a vacuum and enters a region between two deflection plates where there is an upward electric field of magnitude1105N/C(Figure 15.60).


(a) Sketch the trajectory of the electron, continuing on well past the deflection plates (the electron is going fast enough that it does not strike the plates). (b) Calculate the acceleration of the electron while it is between the deflection plates. (c) The deflection plates measure 12 cm by 3 cm, and the gap between them is 2.5 mm. The plates are charged equally and oppositely. What are the magnitude and sign of the charge on the upper plate?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The trajectory curves downward when the electron is between the plates, and then it continues straight downward when outside the plates.
  2. The acceleration of the electron is 1.751016m/s2.
  3. The charge on the upper plate is negative and its value is-3.1910-9N/C

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The upward electric field is,E=1105N/C
  • The gap between deflection plates is,d=2.5mm
  • The length of the deflection plate is,i=12cm1m100cm
  • The width of the plates is,b=3cm1m100cm
02

Concept/Significance of the acceleration.

The rate at which an object's velocity changes in relation to time is called acceleration. Newton's Second Law states that an object's acceleration equals the sum of all forces acting on it.

03

Determination of the trajectory of the electron, continuing on well past the deflection plates

The electron starts with an initial velocity parallel to the plates. The electric field accelerates it downward (because the electron has a negative charge), so the trajectory curves downward because we have two velocity components. One increases with time due to the electric force. After the plates, the electrons travel straight down because there is no longer a force, and it just maintains the velocity they had right before exiting the plates, and this velocity is pointed downward. It is shown in diagram below,

Thus,the trajectory curves downward when the electron is between the plates, and then it continues straight downward when outside the plates.

Step 4: the acceleration of the electron while it is between the deflection plates.

The force on the electron is given by,

F=ma 鈥(颈)

Here, m is the mass of the electron whose value is and a is the acceleration

The force on the electron can also be given by,

F=eE 鈥(颈颈)

Here, e is the charge on the electron whose value is and E is the electric field.

From equation (i) and (ii).

ma=eEa=eEm 鈥(颈颈颈)

Substitute all the values in the above

a=1.61019C1105N/C9.110-31kg=1.61017N9.1kg1kg.m/s21N=1.751016m/s2

Thus, the acceleration of the electron is 1.751016m/s2.

05

Step 5: the magnitude and sign of the charge on the upper plate.

The charge on the plate is given by,

E=QA0Q=0AE

Here, 0is the permittivity of free space whose value is 8.8510N/m.C2, A is the area of plate, and E is the electric field on the plate.

Substitute all the values in the above,

-Q=8.8510-12N/m.C20.12m0.03m1105N/C=3.1910-9N/C

Thus, the charge on the upper plate is negative and its value is-3.1910-9N/C

Question: A solid spherical plastic ball was rubbed with wool in such a way that it acquired a uniform negative charge all over the surface. Make a sketch showing the polarization of molecules inside the plastic ball, and explain briefly.

Question: A thin hollow spherical glass shell of radius carries a uniformly distributed positive charge +610-9C, as shown in Figure 15.65. To the right of it is a horizontal permanent dipole with charges +310-11and -310-11separated by a distance (the dipole is shown greatly enlarged for clarity). The dipole is fixed in position and is not free to rotate. The distance from the center of the glass shell to the center of the dipole is 0.6 m.

(a) Calculate the net electric field at the center of the glass shell. (b) If the sphere were a solid metal ball with a charge , what would be the net electric field at its center? (c) Draw the approximate charge distribution in and/or on the metal sphere.

A capacitor consists of two large metal disks of radius 1.1 m placed parallel to each other, a distance of 1.2 mm apart. The capacitor is charged up to have an increasing amount of charge +Q on one disk and 鈭扱 on the other. At about what value of Q does a spark appear between the disks?

An electrostatic dust precipitator that is installed in a factory smokestack includes a straight metal wire of length L=0.8 mthat is charged approximately uniformly with a total charge Q=0.410-7C . A speck of coal dust (which is mostly carbon) is near the wire, far from both ends of the wire; the distance from the wire to the speck is d=1.5 cm . Carbon has an atomic mass of 12( 6protons and 6neutrons in the nucleus). A careful measurement of the polarizability of a carbon atom gives the value

(a) Calculate the initial acceleration of the speck of coal dust, neglecting gravity. Explain your steps clearly. Your answer must be expressed in terms ofQ,L,d,and . You can use other quantities in your calculations, but your final result must not include them. Don鈥檛 put numbers into your calculation until the very end, but then show the numerical calculation that you carry out on your calculator. It is convenient to use the 鈥渂inomial expansion鈥 that you may have learned in calculus, that(1+)n1+苍蔚is 1. Note thatcan be negative. (b) If the speck of coal dust were initially twice as far from the charged wire, how much smaller would be the initial acceleration of the speck?

A thin plastic spherical shell of radius 5 cmhas a uniformly distributed charge of -25nCon its outer surface. A concentric thin plastic spherical shell of radius 8 cmhas a uniformly distributed charge of+64nC on its outer surface.
