(II) What is the speed of an electron with kinetic energy (a) 850 eV, and (b) 0.50 keV?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The speed of electron with kinetic energy 850 eV is \(1.73 \times {10^7}\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

(b) The speed of electron with kinetic energy 0.50 keV is \(1.32 \times {10^7}\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

Step by step solution

01

Understanding of kinetic energy

The kinetic energy of an object relies on the mass of the object and its speed.

The kinetic energy of a charged particle is given by,

\(KE = \frac{1}{2}m{v^2}\) 鈥 (i)

Here, m is the mass and v is the speed.

02

Given information

The kinetic energy of the electron in the first case is, \(K{E_1} = 850\;{\rm{eV}}\)

The kinetic energy of the electron in the second case is, \(K{E_1} = 0.50\;{\rm{keV}} = 500\;{\rm{eV}}\)

Mass of the electron is, \(m = 9.11 \times {10^{ - 31}}\;{\rm{kg}}\)

03

(a) Determination of speed of electron with kinetic energy 850 eV

The kinetic energy of the electron in joule is,

\(\begin{aligned}K{E_1} &= 850\;{\rm{eV}}\\ &= \left( {850\;{\rm{eV}}} \right) \times \left( {\frac{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}\;{\rm{J}}}}{{1\;{\rm{eV}}}}} \right)\\ &= 1.36\; \times {10^{ - 16}}{\rm{J}}\end{aligned}\)

From equation (i), the speed of the electron is calculated as:

\({v_1} = \sqrt {\frac{{2\left( {K{E_1}} \right)}}{m}} \)

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\(\begin{aligned}{v_1} &= \sqrt {\frac{{2\left( {1.36 \times {{10}^{ - 16}}\;{\rm{J}}} \right)}}{{9.11 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}\;{\rm{kg}}}}} \\ &= \sqrt {2.9857 \times {{10}^{14}}} \;{\rm{m/s}}\\ &= 1.73 \times {10^7}\;{\rm{m/s}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the speed of an electron with kinetic energy 850 eV is \(1.73 \times {10^7}\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

04

(b) Determination of speed of electron with kinetic energy 0.50 keV

The kinetic energy of the electron in joule is,

\(\begin{aligned}K{E_2} &= 500\;{\rm{eV}}\\ &= \left( {500\;{\rm{eV}}} \right) \times \left( {\frac{{1.6 \times {{10}^{ - 19}}\;{\rm{J}}}}{{1\;{\rm{eV}}}}} \right)\\ &= 8.0\; \times {10^{ - 17}}{\rm{J}}\end{aligned}\)

From equation (i), the speed of the electron is calculated as:

\({v_2} = \sqrt {\frac{{2\left( {K{E_2}} \right)}}{m}} \)

Substitute the values in the above expression.

\(\begin{aligned}{v_2} &= \sqrt {\frac{{2\left( {8.0 \times {{10}^{ - 17}}\;{\rm{J}}} \right)}}{{9.11 \times {{10}^{ - 31}}\;{\rm{kg}}}}} \\ &= \sqrt {1.7563 \times {{10}^{14}}} \;{\rm{m/s}}\\ &= 1.32 \times {10^7}\;{\rm{m/s}}\end{aligned}\)

Thus, the speed of an electron with the kinetic energy of 0.50 keVis \(1.32 \times {10^7}\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

In the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) of a computer, each memory cell contains a capacitor for charge storage. Each of these cells represents a single binary bit value of 鈥1鈥 when its 35-fF capacitor \(\left( {{\bf{1}}\;{\bf{fF = 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 15}}}}\;{\bf{F}}} \right)\) is charged at 1.5 V, or 鈥0鈥 when uncharged at 0 V.

(a) When fully charged, how many excess electrons are on a cell capacitor鈥檚 negative plate?

(b) After charge has been placed on a cell capacitor鈥檚 plate, it slowly 鈥渓eaks鈥 off at a rate of about \({\bf{0}}{\bf{.30}}\;{\bf{fC/s}}\). How long does it take for the potential difference across this capacitor to decrease by 2.0% from its fully charged value? (Because of this leakage effect, the charge on a DRAM capacitor is 鈥渞efreshed鈥 many times per second.) Note: A DRAM cell is shown in Fig. 21鈥29.

We have seen that the capacitance C depends on the size and position of the two conductors, as well as on the dielectric constant K. What then did we mean when we said that C is a constant in Eq. 17鈥7?

Question: (I) Write the decimal number 116 in binary.

A dielectric is pulled out from between the plates of a capacitor which remains connected to a battery. What changes occur to (a) the capacitance, (b) the charge on the plates, (c) the potential difference, (d) the energy stored in the capacitor, and (e) the electric field? Explain your answers.

A parallel-plate capacitor with plate area\({\bf{A = 2}}{\bf{.0}}\;{{\bf{m}}{\bf{2}}}\)and plate separation\({\bf{d = 3}}{\bf{.0}}\;{\bf{mm}}\)is connected to a 35-V battery (Fig. 17鈥51a).

(a) Determine the charge on the capacitor, the electric field, the capacitance, and the energy stored in the capacitor.

(b) With the capacitor still connected to the battery, a slab of plastic with dielectric strength K =3.2 is placed between the plates of the capacitor, so that the gap is completely filled with the dielectric (Fig. 17鈥51b). What are the new values of charge, electric field, capacitance, and the energy stored in the capacitor?\(\left( {{\bf{1}}\;{\bf{byte = 8}}\;{\bf{bits}}{\bf{.}}} \right)\)
