A proton is placed in a uniform electric field of2.75×103N/C. Calculate (a) the magnitude of the electric force felt by the proton; (b) the proton’s acceleration; (c) the proton’s speed after1.00μsin the field, assuming it starts from rest.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The magnitude of electric force felt by the proton is 4.4×10-16N
  2. The proton acceleration is2.63×1011m/s2
  3. Proton speed from the rest is2.63×105m/s

Step by step solution

01

Magnitude of electric force

The magnitude of electric force

E=2.75×103N/Cq=1.6×10−19Cm=1.67×10−27kg

The magnitude of the electric force Fexerted by the proton is

F=|q|E=1.6×10−192.75×103=4.4×10−16N

Hence, the magnitude of electric force felt by the proton is4.4×10-16N.

02

Proton acceleration is

Value of acceleration using force formula

F=maa=Fm=4.4×10−161.67×10−27a=2.63×1011m/s2

Therefore, the proton acceleration is2.63×1011m/s2.

03

Proton Speed

speed of (v) of proton after time t=1.00μsas proton starts from the rest, therefore the electric field is in one direction, and the motion will be one direction. Using constant acceleration, the velocity will be assumed by applying Newton’s Law of motion.

v=v0+atv=0+2.63×10111.0×10−6v=2.63×105m/s

Hence, Proton speed from the rest is2.63×105m/s.

Consider the circuit of Fig. E25.30. (a)What is the total rate at which electrical energy is dissipated in the 5.0-Ω and 9.0-Ω resistors? (b) What is the power output of the 16.0-V battery? (c) At what rate is electrical energy being converted to other forms in the 8.0-V battery? (d) Show that the power output of the 16.0-V battery equals the overall rate of consumption of electrical energy in the rest of the circuit.

Fig. E25.30.

Small aircraft often have 24 V electrical systems rather than the 12 V systems in automobiles, even though the electrical power requirements are roughly the same in both applications. The explanation given by aircraft designers is that a 24 V system weighs less than a 12 V system because thinner wires can be used. Explain why this is so.

(See Discussion Question Q25.14.) An ideal ammeter A is placed in a circuit with a battery and a light bulb as shown in Fig. Q25.15a, and the ammeter reading is noted. The circuit is then reconnected as in Fig. Q25.15b, so that the positions of the ammeter and light bulb are reversed. (a) How does the ammeter reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15a compare to the reading in the situation shown in Fig. Q25.15b? Explain your reasoning. (b) In which situation does the light bulb glow more brightly? Explain your reasoning.

CALC The region between two concentric conducting spheres with radii and is filled with a conducting material with resistivity ÒÏ. (a) Show that the resistance between the spheres is given by

R=ÒÏ4Ï€(1a-1b)

(b) Derive an expression for the current density as a function of radius, in terms of the potential differenceVab between the spheres. (c) Show that the result in part (a) reduces to Eq. (25.10) when the separation L=b-abetween the spheres is small.

The definition of resistivity (ÒÏ=EJ) implies that an electrical field exist inside a conductor. Yet we saw that in chapter 21 there can be no electrostatic electric field inside a conductor. Is there can be contradiction here? Explain.
