Chapter 23: Q. 5 (page 652)

An electron experiences a force of magnitude F when it is1cmfrom a very long, charged wire with linear charge density位. If the charge density is doubled, at what distance from the wire will a proton experience a force of the same magnitudeF?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The amount of distance from the wire when a proton experiences a force of the same magnitude F from the wire=2脳10-2m.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

For an electron: r1=1cm=10-2m

Charge of electron=-q

Linear charge density in case of electron位1=位

Charge of proton=+q

Linear charge density位2=2位

02

Explanation

F=-e2位4蟺e010-2鈬�F=e2(2位)4蟺e0r2鈬�-e2位4蟺e010-2=e2(2位)4蟺e0r2r2=-2脳10-2mr2=2脳10-2m

A parallel-plate capacitor consists of two square plates, size L脳L, separated by distance d. The plates are given charge卤Q. What is the ratio Ef/Eiof the final to initial electric field strengths if

(a) Q is doubled,

(b)L is doubled, and

(c) d is doubled? Each part changes only one quantity; the other quantities have their initial values

A parallel-plate capacitor has 2.0cm脳2.0cmelectrodes with surface charge densities 卤1.0脳10鈭�6C/m2. A proton traveling parallel to the electrodes at 1.0脳106m/s enters the center of the gap between them. By what distance has the proton been deflected sideways when it reaches the far edge of the capacitor? Assume the field is uniform inside the capacitor and zero outside the capacitor.

A small segment of wire in FIGURE Q23.4contains 10nCof charge.

a. The segment is shrunk to one-third of its original length. What is the ratio of 位f/位i, where 位iand位f are the initial and final linear charge densities?

b. A proton is very far from the wire. What is the ratio Ff /Fi of the electric force on the proton after the segment is shrunk to the force before the segment was shrunk?

c. Suppose the original segment of wire is stretched to 10 times its original length. How much charge must be added to the wire to keep the linear charge density unchanged?
