In FIGURE EX25.26, a proton is fired with a speed of 200,000 m/s from the midpoint of the capacitor toward the positive plate.

a. Show that this is insufficient speed to reach the positive plate.

b. What is the proton’s speed as it collides with the negative plate?

Short Answer

Expert verified

1. Show that this is not sufficient the speed of photon to reach the positive plate

2. The proton’s speed that it is collided with the negative plate is 2.96×105m/s

Step by step solution

01

 Explanation of the  insufficient speed to reach the positive plate 

Initial kinetic energy of the photon KE

KE=12mv02

Here, m is the mass of the photon and v0 is the speed

m=1.67×10-27v0=200000m/s2KE=12(.67×10-27)(200000m/s2)2=3.34×10-17J

As increase the poetical energy of the photon, then it reaches the positive plate

∆U=e(∆V2)e=1.6×10-19C∆V=500V∆U=1.6×10-19C(500V2)=4.0×10-17J

KE is not sufficient to increase photon energy to reach the positive plate. Due to this reason, the photon cannot reach the positive plate.

02

Definition of the proton’s speed as it collides with the negative plate

The sum of the K.E and P.E are equal to the total energy of the photon.

Physicists often use a different unit of energy, the electron volt, when dealing with energies at the atomic level. One electron volt, abbreviated eV, is defined as the amount of kinetic energy gained by an electron upon accelerating through a 1.0 V potential difference. a. What is 1 electron volt in joules? b. What is the speed of a proton with 5000 eV of kinetic energy?

Three electrons form an equilateral triangle with 1.0 nm on each side. A proton is at the center of the triangle. What is the potential energy of this group of charges?

A Van de Graaff generator is a device for generating a large electric potential by building up charge on a hollow metal sphere. A typical classroom-demonstration model has a diameter of 30cm.

a. How much charge is needed on the sphere for its potential to be500,000V?

b. What is the electric field strength just outside the surface of the sphere when it is charged to 500,000V?

In the form of radioactive decay known as alpha decay, an unstable nucleus emits a helium-atom nucleus, which is called an alpha particle. An alpha particle contains two protons and two neutrons, thus having massm=4uand charge q=2e. Suppose a uranium nucleus with 92protons decays into thorium, with 90protons, and an alpha particle. The alpha particle is initially at rest at the surface of the thorium nucleus, which is 15fmin diameter. What is the speed of the alpha particle when it is detected in the laboratory? Assume the thorium nucleus remains at rest

a. What is the potential of an ordinary AA or AAA battery? (If you’re not sure, find one and look at the label.)

b. An AA battery is connected to a parallel-plate capacitor having 4.0 cm * 4.0 cm plates spaced 1.0 mm apart. How much charge does the battery supply to each plate?
