The electric field strength is 50,000N/Cinside a parallel-plate capacitor with a 2.0mm spacing. A proton is released from rest at the positive plate. What is the proton’s speed when it reaches the negative plate?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The proton's final velocity at negative plate isvf≈1.38×105ms

Step by step solution

01

Step :1  Angular momentum

Given information:

Electric field strength is 50,000N/C.

Spacing is 2.0mm.

Find:

The objective is to find proton's speed reaches the negative plate.

The particle travels along the field, more toward the capacitor's deleterious anode, in a static electric field. At the expenditure of electrostatic field, it gains angular momentum.

The variation in electromotive force can be computed using equation (28.10):

ΔUe=Ue,f−Ue,i=U0+qE⋅0+U0+qEd

=−qEd

02

Step :2 Explanation

We can compute the proton's mobility when it approaches the negatively pole by transforming the difference in electromotive force energy into kinetic energy.

From energy conversation

(ΔK+ΔU=0)

ΔK=−ΔUe

One form of nuclear radiation, beta decay, occurs when a neutron changes into a proton, an electron, and a neutral particle called a neutrino: n→p++e-+vwhere nis the symbol for a neutrino. When this change happens to a neutron within the nucleus of an atom, the proton remains behind in the nucleus while the electron and neutrino are ejected from the nucleus. The ejected electron is called a beta particle. One nucleus that exhibits beta decay is the isotope of hydrogen 3H, called tritium, whose nucleus consists of one proton (making it hydrogen) and two neutrons (giving tritium an atomic mass m=3u). Tritium is radioactive, and it decays to helium: H3→H3e+e-+n

a. Is charge conserved in the beta decay process? Explain.

b. Why is the final product a helium atom? Explain.

c. The nuclei of both H3andH3e have radii of 1.5×10-15m. With what minimum speed must the electron be ejected if it is to escape from the nucleus and not fall back?
