Chapter 4: Q11DQ (page 713)

Because the charges on the electron and proton have the same absolute value, atoms are electrically neutral. Suppose that this is not precisely true, and the absolute value of the charge of the electron is less than the charge of the proton by 0.00100%. Estimate what the net charge of this textbook would be under these circumstances. Make any assumptions you feel are justified, but state clearly what they are. (Hint: Most of the atoms in this textbook have equal numbers of electrons, protons, and neutrons.) What would be the magnitude of the electric force between two textbooks placed 5.0 m apart? Would this force be attractive or repulsive?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the electric force between the two textbooks is

The force is repulsive in nature.

Step by step solution

01

Determination of the net charge of books.

Number of protons= Number on electrons.

Assume the mass of the book is 1.0 kg

The given value of mass of proton is equal to the mass of a neutron with a value of

1.67脳10-27kg

So, the number of protons is,

localid="1663833953627" 12脳1.67脳10-27kg=3脳1026kg-1

Thus, the net charge difference is,

鈭�q=3x1026cx00001x1.6x10-19C=480C

02

Determination of the magnitude of the electric force between the textbooks.

According to Coulomb鈥檚 Law,

F=k脳Q1脳Q2d2=k脳鈭�q2d2=k脳480252=8.3脳1013N

Thus, the force is repulsive in nature.

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?
