Electric Charges and Fields

One of the fundamental properties is the electromagnetic property. Charge cannot be destroyed by any process and this contributes formally to the law of charge conservation.

Adding a proton to a nucleus The nucleus of an atom is positively charged because it consists of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. To bring a free proton toward a nucleus, a repulsive force F(r) = kqQ/r2 must be overcome, where q = 1.6 × 10-19 C (coulombs) is the charge on the proton, k = 9 × 109 N · m2/C2, Q is the charge on the nucleus, and r is the distance between the center of the nucleus and the proton. Find the work required to bring a free proton (assumed to be a point mass) from a large distance (r → ∞) to the edge of a nucleus that has a charge Q = 50q and a radius of 6 × 10-11 m.

Hint: In a FBD, place the test charge left of x = 0 cm, in between the two source charges, and right of x = 40 cm. Sketch the direction and relative magnitude of the net force at each location and determine where it might be possible for the net force to be zero.
