Question

7) This time you put a nucleus with 11 protons on the x-axis at x = 6.1 Angstroms. There will be a place on the x-axis where the total electric field is zero. At what value of x does this occur?

		1.68 Angstroms
		0.84 Angstroms
		-2.63 Angstroms
		-2.10 Angstroms

Expert Solution

Step 1

In this question, a nucleus carrying 11 protons is placed along the positive X-axis at a distance of from the origin and an electron is also placed at the origin.

Step 2

Hence, the point where electric field due to this system is zero will be on the negative X-axis nearby the electron to balance electric field due to the nucleus as well as the electron.

Assuming the point to be situated at a distance of from the electron on the negative X-axis. Thus, its distance from the nucleus will be .

These distance are measured in angstroms.
