(II) Many chemical reactions release energy. Suppose that at the beginning of a reaction, an electron and proton are separated by 0.110 nm, and their final separation is 0.100 nm. How much electric potential energy was lost in this reaction (in units of eV)?
(III) How much voltage must be used to accelerate a proton (radius \({\bf{1}}{\bf{.2 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 15}}}}\;{\bf{m}}\)) so that it has sufficient energy to just 鈥渢ouch鈥 a silicon nucleus? A silicon nucleus has a charge of \( + 14e\), and its radius is about \({\bf{3}}{\bf{.6 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 15}}}}\;{\bf{m}}\). Assume the potential is that for point charges.
If the voltage across a fixed capacitor is doubled, the amount of energy it stores (a) doubles; (b) is halved; (c) is quadrupled; (d) is unaffected; (e) none of these. Explain.
Question: (I) What is the capacitance of two square parallel plates 6.6 cm on a side that are separated by 1.8 mm of paraffin?
In an older television tube, electrons are accelerated by thousands of volts through a vacuum. If a television set were laid on its back, would electrons be able to move upward against the force of gravity? What potential difference, acting over a distance of 2.4 cm, would be needed to balance the downward force of gravity so that an electron would remain stationary? Assume that the electric field is uniform.
