A small plastic bead has been charged to-15nC. What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of (a) a proton and (b) an electron that is1.0cmfrom the center of the bead?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. A proton magnitude is 1.31014m/s2and direction is towards charge.

b. An electron magnitude is 2.41017m/s2and direction is away from charge.

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of force (part a)

(a).

When two charged particles are separated by a distance rone of them has a charge q1while the other has a charge q2.

The two particles exert forces on each other, with the force decreasing as the distance between them grows and increasing as the size of the charges increases.

This force is described by Coulomb's law.

FC=F1on2=F2on1=Kq1q2r2....1

Where Kis the electrostatic constant, which is calculated as 9109Nm2/C2.9109Nm2/C2

The proton has a charge of localid="1649086707721" 1.610-19C.

Substitute all values in equationlocalid="1649086712739" 1

we obtain,

localid="1649086719377" FC=Kqer2

localid="1649086727135" =9.0109Nm2/C2-1510-9C+1.610-19C(0.01m)2

localid="1649086733037" =-2.1610-13N

02

Calculation of protons magnitude and direction part(a) solution

(a).

According to Newton's law, acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object and directly proportional to the applied force.

ap=FCmp

Where mpis the proton's mass .

Andapis its acceleration.

Substitute all values,

ap=FCmp

=-2.1610-13N1.6710-27kg

=1.31014m/s2

The proton speeds up as it approaches the charge.

03

Calculation of electron

Force,

FC=Kq(-e)r2

=9.0109Nm2/C2-1510-9C-1.610-19C(0.01m)2

=2.1610-13N

ae=FCme

=2.1610-13N9.110-31kg

=2.41017m/s2

The electron speeds up as it moves away from the charge.

Two 1.0 kg masses are 1.0 m apart (center to center) on a frictionless table. Each has +10 mC of charge.

a. What is the magnitude of the electric force on one of the masses?

b. What is the initial acceleration of this mass if it is released and allowed to move?

You sometimes create a spark when you touch a doorknob after shuffling your feet on a carpet. Why? The air always has a few free electrons that have been kicked out of atoms by cosmic rays. If an electric field is present, a free electron is accelerated until it collides with an air molecule. Most such collisions are elastic, so the electron collides, accelerates, collides, accelerates, and so on, gradually gaining speed. But if the electron鈥檚 kinetic energy just before a collision is 2.010-18Jor more, it has sufficient energy to kick an electron out of the molecule it hits. Where there was one free electron, now there are two! Each of these can then accelerate, hit a molecule, and kick out another electron. Then there will be four free electrons. In other words, as FIGURE P22.61 shows, a sufficiently strong electric field causes a 鈥渃hain reaction鈥 of electron production. This is called a breakdown of the air. The current of moving electrons is what gives you the shock, and a spark is generated when the electrons recombine with the positive ions and give off excess energy as a burst of light.

  1. The average distance between ionizing collisions is 2.0m. (The electron鈥檚 mean free path is less than this, but most collisions are elastic collisions in which the electron bounces with no loss of energy.) What acceleration must an electron have to gain of kinetic energy in this distance?
  2. What force must act on an electron to give it the acceleration found in part a?
  3. What strength electric field will exert this much force on an electron? This is the breakdown field strength. Note: The measured breakdown field strength is a little less than your calculated value because our model of the process is a bit too simple. Even so, your calculated value is close.
  4. Suppose a free electron in air is 1.0 cm away from a point charge. What minimum charge is needed to cause a breakdown and create a spark as the electron moves toward the point charge?

The electric force on a charged particle in an electric field is F. What will be the force if the particle鈥檚 charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved?
