A proton is released from rest at the positive plate of a parallelplate capacitor. It crosses the capacitor and reaches the negative plate with a speed of . The experiment is repeated with a ion (charge , mass ). What is the ion's speed at the negative plate?
A proton is fired from far away toward the nucleus of an iron atom. Iron is element number , and the diameter of the nucleus is . What initial speed does the proton need to just reach the surface of the nucleus? Assume the nucleus remains at rest.
An electron with an initial speed of is brought to rest by an electric field.
a. Did the electron move into a region of higher potential or lower potential?
b. What was the potential difference that stopped the electron?
A proton and an alpha particleare fired directly toward each other from far away, each with an initial speed of . What is their distance of closest approach, as measured between their centers?
charge and a charge are located on the x-axis at and , respectively.
a. Other than at infinity, is there a position or positions on the x-axis where the electric field is zero? If so, where?
b. Other than at infinity, at what position or positions on the x-axis is the electric potential zero?
c. Sketch graphs of the electric field strength and the electric potential along the x-axis.
