The two parallel plates in FIGURE P23.53are 2.0cmapart and the electric field strength between them is 1.0×104N/C. An electron is launched at a 45 angle from the positive plate. What is the maximum initial speed v0 the electron can have without hitting the negative plate?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The maximum initial speed the electron can have without hitting the negative plate is

a=1.8×1015m/s2

vo=1.2×107m/s

Step by step solution

01

Values and Required

E=1.0×104N/C- magnitude of the electric field strength

me=9.11×1031kg- mass of electron

q=1.6×1019Celectron charge

d=x=2cm=2.0×102m- distance between + and - plate

We must make a decisionvimax the electron's

02

Uniform Acceleration

The path coefficient is used:

a=qmE

We see from it in a magnetic charge, a charge will face an electrostatic force, prompting the particle (electron) to accelerated

a=1.6×1019C9.11×1031kg1.0×104N/C

=1.8×1015m/s2

The momentum is described by a simple interaction:

vf2vi2=2ax

The mobility of such an entity with constant speed is indicated by it connection.

03

Initial Velocity

The average speed inside this direction yindicated as:

Viy=v0sin45

Vy20Viy2=2ax

Viy2=2ad

vo2sin245=2ad

v0=2adsin45

04

Step 4:  Peak value 

Then should establish the actual peak value start pace of the ion by inputting all given data.

v0=21.8×1015m/s22.0×102msin45

=1.2×107m/s

Reproduce FIGURE Q23.2on your paper. For each part, draw a dot or dots on the figure to show any position or positions (other than infinity) where E=0.

FIGURE shows a thin rod of length Lwith total charge Q. Find an expression for the electric fieldE at point P. Give your answer in component form.

A sphere of radius Rand surface charge density ηis positioned with its center distance 2R from an infinite plane with surface charge density η. At what distance from the plane, along a line toward the center of the sphere, is the electric field zero?

A problem of practical interest is to make a beam of electrons turn a 90°corner. This can be done with the parallel-plate capacitor shown in FIGURE. An electron with kinetic energy 3.0×10-17Jenters through a small hole in the bottom plate of the capacitor.

a. Should the bottom plate be charged positive or negative relative to the top plate if you want the electron to turn to the right? Explain.

b. What strength electric field is needed if the electron is to emerge from an exit hole 1.0cmaway from the entrance hole, traveling at right angles to its original direction?

Hint: The difficulty of this problem depends on how you choose your coordinate system.

c. What minimum separation dminmust the capacitor plates have?

An electric dipole is formed from two charges, ±q, spaced1.0cm apart. The dipole is at the origin, oriented along the y-axis. The electric field strength at the point x,y=(0cm,10cm)is 360N/C.

a. What is the charge q? Give your answer in nC.

b. What is the electric field strength at the pointx,y=10cm,0cm?
