A proton is projected into a uniform electric field that points vertically upward and has magnitude E. The initial velocity of the proton has a magnitude vband is directed at an angle below the horizontal. (a) Find the maximum distance h max that the proton descends vertically below its initial elevation. Ignore gravitational forces. (b) After what horizontal distance d does the proton return to its original elevation? (c) Sketch the trajectory of the proton. (d) Find the numerical values of h max and d if E = 500 N/C, v o = 4.00 x 105 m/s, and

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) maximum distance h max that the proton descends vertically below its initial elevation is mv20sin2α2eE

b) At the horizontal distance mv20sin22αeEthe proton return to its original elevation

c) hmax= 0.42 m, d = 2.89 if E = 500 N>C, v0 = 4.00 * 105 m>s, and a = 30.0°.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1:

Given is E = 500 N/C, v= 4.0 x 10³ m/, m = 1.67 × 107 kg,α = 30°

02

Step 2:

a) As previously mentioned the motion of the charge in a parallel plate electric field is similar to projectile motion

The initial velocity in the d-direction is given by

vx=v0cos(α)=dt⇒v0=dt³¦´Ç²õα (1)

The proton will movehmaxin half of the total time and its velocity will be instantaneously zero then it will begin moving in a vertical direction until reaching the original takeoff point with the same initial velocity component so this displacement hmaxis given by

hmax=vf22avmax (2)

in the upward direction, the initial velocity is zero, the final velocity is the same as the initial component and the acceleration is given by

Fnet=mav=eE⇒av=eEm (3)

So substitution in (2) yields

hmax=m(v0²õ¾±²Ôα)2eE2=mv20sin2α2eE………. (4)

03

Step 3:

b) To get the displacement d traveled in terms of constant first we must know that

hmax=vbyt+12ayt22 (5)

Substitution from (1) and (4) in (5) yields

mv20sin2α=12×eEm×d2v0³¦´Ç²õα

The displacement is given by

b) To get the displacement d traveled in terms of constant first we must know that

hmax=vayt+12ayt22

Substitution from (1) and (4) in (5) yields

mv20sin2α=12×eEm×d2v0³¦´Ç²õα

The displacement is given by

d2v0³¦´Ç²õα=mv20²õ¾±²Ôα2eE⇒d=mv20sin2αeE (6)

Taking into account that: 2²õ¾±²Ô᳦´Ç²õα=sin2α

04

Step 4:

c) In equation (2) if we substitute from (1) we get that

hmax12ayd2(2v0cosα)2=Cd2 (7)

The previous trajectory is an equation of parabola so the trajectory

05

Step 5:

d) The numerical value of hmaxis given by

hmax=1.67×10-27×4×105×sin3022*1.6*10-19×5000.42

Also, the numerical value of d is

hmax=1.67×10-27×4×105×sin601.6×10-14×500=2.89

Question: The two charges q1 and q2shown in Fig. have equal magnitudes. What is the direction of the net electric field due to these two charges at points A (midway between the charges), B, and C if (a) both charges are negative, (b) both charges are positive, (c) q1 is positive and q2 is negative?

Questions: A conductor that carries a net charge has a hollow, empty cavity in its interior. Does the potential vary from point to point within the material of the conductor? What about within the cavity? How does the potential inside the cavity compare to the potential within the material of the conductor?

A current was sent through a helical coil spring. The spring contracted, as though it had been compressed. Why?

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

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a power supply that maintains a fixed potential difference between the plates. (a) If a sheet of dielectric is then slid between the plates, what happens to (i) the electric field between the plates, (ii) the magnitude of charge on each plate, and (iii) the energy stored in the capacitor? (b) Now suppose that before the dielectric is inserted, the charged capacitor is disconnected from the power supply. In this case, what happens to (i) the electric field between the plates, (ii) the magnitude of charge on each plate, and (iii) the energy stored in the capacitor? Explain any differences between the two situations.
