The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is -2.0×10-6C/m2 . A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.0×106m/s. How far does the proton travel before reaching its turning point?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The proton travels18cm before reaching its turning point .

Step by step solution

01

Given information and formula used

Given :

The surface charge density on the infinite charged plane : -2.0×10-6C/m2

Proton shot straight away at the speed : 2.0×106m/s

Theory used :

The Electric field owing to an infinite plane is calculated as follows:

E=σ2ε0

Newton's law :

12m((vf)2–(vi)2)=qEd

02

Calculating how far the proton travels before reaching its turning point 

Due to the action of the infinite plane's electric field, this proton will come to a halt before returning. We can compute the distance it goes before turning back using conservation of energy :

12m((vf)2–(vi)2)=qEd⇒d=m((vf)2–(vi)2)2qE=m((vf)2–(vi)2)2q(σ/2ε0)=(1.67x10-27kg)(0-(2.0x106m/s)2)(8.854x10-12C2/N·m2)(1.6x10-19C)(2.0x10-6C/m2)⇒d=18cm

One type of ink-jet printer, called an electrostatic ink-jet printer, forms the letters by using deflecting electrodes to steer charged ink drops up and down vertically as the ink jet sweeps horizontally across the page. The ink jet forms30μm diameter drops of ink, charges them by spraying 800,000 electrons on the surface, and shoots them toward the page at a speed of 20m/s. Along the way, the drops pass through two horizontal, parallel electrodes that are 6.0mmlong,4.0mm wide, and spaced 1.0mm apart. The distance from the center of the electrodes to the paper is 2.0cm. To form the tallest letters, which have a height of 6.0mm, the drops need to be deflected upward (or downward) by 3.0mm. What electric field strength is needed between the electrodes to achieve this deflection? Ink, which consists of dye particles suspended in alcohol, has a density of 800kg/m3 .

A 12-cmlong thin rod has the nonuniform charge density λ(x)=(2.0nC/cm)e-|x|/(6.0cm), where localid="1648623923714" xis measured from the center of the rod. What is the total charge on the rod?

Hint: This exercise requires an integration. Think about how to handle the absolute value sign.

An electret is similar to a magnet, but rather than being permanently magnetized, it has a permanent electric dipole moment. Suppose a small electret with electric dipole moment 1.0×10-7Cm is 25cmfrom a small ball charged to +25nC, with the ball on the axis of the electric dipole. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the ball?
