Imagine two 1.0g bags of protons, one at the earth’s north pole and the other at the south pole.

(a) How many protons are in each bag?

(b) Calculate the gravitational attraction and the electric repulsion that each bag exerts on the other.

(c) Are the forces in part (b) large enough for you to feel if you were holding one of the bags?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number of protons is N=6.0×1023.

Fe=4.9×105NFg=3.9×10-31N

The gravitational force is so small to be delectated but the electric force is so large.

Step by step solution

01

Number of protons.

Given d=2Re,mb=1.0×10−3kgandG=6.67×10−11N.m2kg−2

a) The mass of proton is mp=1.67×10-27kg so the total number of protons

mb=Nmp....=>(1)

Substitution in (1) yields

N=1.0×10−31.67×10−27N=6.0×1023proton

Hence the number of protons is N=6.0×1023

02

Calculation of electric and gravitational force.

The Electric force is

F=kq2d2…….=(2)

The charge is given by

q=Ne=6×1023×6.67×10−19=6.9×104C

The distance is twice as radius of earth

d=2×6.371×106=1.3×107m

Substitute in (2)

Fe=9×109×9.6×10421.3×1072Fθ=4.9×105N

The gravitational force is given by

F=Gm1m2d2……..>(3)

Substitute in (3)

Fg=6.67×10−11×1.0×10−321.3×1072Fg=3.9×10−31N

03

Conclusion

Hence the gravitational force is so small to be delectated but the electric force is so large.

An alpha particle (a He nucleus containing two protons and two neutrons and having a mass of 6.64×10-7kg) travelling horizontally at 35.6km/senter a uniform, vertical,1.80-T magnetic field.(a) What is the diameter of the path followed by this alpha particle? (b) what effect does the magnetic field have on the speed of the particle? (c) What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the alpha particle while it is in the magnetic field? (d) explain why the speed of the particle does not change even though an unbalanced external force acts on it.

A long, straight solenoid with a cross-sectional area of 8.00 cm2 is wound with 90 turns of wire per centimetre, and the windings carry a current of 0.350 A. A second winding of 12 turns encircles the solenoid at its centre. The current in the solenoid is turned off such that the magnetic field of the solenoid becomes zero in 0.0400 s. What is the average induced emf in the second winding?

In the circuit shown in Fig. Q26.4, three identical light bulbs are connected to a flashlight battery. How do the brightnesses of the bulbs compare? Which light bulb has the greatest current passing through it? Which light bulb has the greatest potential difference between its terminals? What happens if bulb A is unscrewed? Bulb B? Bulb C? Explain your reasoning.

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H-(the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeVto20MeV.This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible about 12000of the proton’s mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9T..(a) What is the speed of a 5.0-MeVH-? (b) If the H-has energy 5.0MeVandB=1.9T what is the radius of this ion’s circulator orbit?

Question: You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in Fig. 26.20a, where R = 12.0 Ω and C = 5.00 x 10-6 F. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the current in the circuit has a magnitude of 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10-6 C. (a) What is the emf of the battery? (b) At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 40.0 x 10-6 C? (c) When the current has magnitude 3.00 A, at what rate is energy being (i) stored in the capacitor, (ii) supplied by the battery
