- You are working on a research project in which you must control the direction of travel of electrons using deflection plates. You have devised the apparatus shown in Figure P22.28. The plates are of length = 0.500 m and are separated by a distance d = 3.00 cm. Electrons are fired at vi = 5.00 106 m/s into a uniform electric field from the left edge of the lower, positive plate, aimed directly at the right edge of the upper, negative plate. Therefore, if there is no electric field between the plates, the electrons will follow the broken line in the figure. With an electric field existing between the plates, the electrons will follow a curved path, bending downward. You need to determine (a) the range of angles over which the electron can leave the apparatus and (b) the electric field required to give the maximum possible deviation angle. Figure P22.28arrow_forwardAn electron with charge e and mass m moves in a circular orbit of radius r around a nucleus of charge Ze, where Z is the atomic number of the nucleus. Ignore the gravitational force between the electron and the nucleus. Find an expression in terms of these quantities for the speed of the electron in this orbit.arrow_forwardTo form a helium atom, an alpha particle that contains two protons and two neutrons is fixed at one location, and two electrons are brought in from far away, one at a time. The first electron is placed at 0.6001010 m from the alpha particle and held there while the second electron is brought to 0.6001010 m from the alpha particle on the other side from the first electron. See die final configuration below, (a) How much work is done in each step? (b) What is the electrostatic energy of die alpha particle and two electrons in the final configuration?arrow_forward
- In different experimental trials, an electron, a proton, or a doubly charged oxygen atom (O--), is fired within a vacuum tube. The particle's trajectory carries it through a point where the electric potential is 40.0 V and then through a point at a different potential. Rank each of the following cases according to the change in kinetic energy of the particle over this part of its flight from the largest increase to the largest decrease in kinetic energy. In your ranking, display any cases of equality, (a) An electron moves from 40.0 V to 60.0 V. (b) An electron moves front 40.0 V to 20.0 V. (c) A proton moves from 40.0 V to 20.0 V'. (d) A proton moves from 40.0 V to 10.0 V. (e) An O-- ion mines from 40.0 V to 60.0 V.arrow_forwardReview. In an electron microscope, there is an electron gun that contains two charged metallic plates 2.80 cm apart. An electric force accelerates each electron in the beam from rest to 9.60% of the speed of light over this distance. (a) Determine the kinetic energy of the electron as it leaves the electron gun. Electrons carry this energy to a phosphorescent viewing screen where the microscopes image is formed, making it glow. For an electron passing between the plates in the electron gun, determine (b) the magnitude of the constant electric force acting on the electron, (c) the acceleration of the electron, and (d) the time interval the electron spends between the plates.arrow_forwardReview. From a large distance away, a particle of mass m1, and positive charge q1 is fired at speed in the positive x direction straight toward a second particle, originally stationary but free to move, with mass m2, and positive charge q2. Both particles are constrained to move only along the x axis. (a) At the instant of closest approach, both particles will be moving at the same velocity. Find this velocity, (b) Find the distance of closest approach. After the interaction, the particles will move far apart again. At this time, find the velocity of (c) the particle of mass m1, and (d) the particle of mass m2.arrow_forward
- In 1911, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants Geiger and Marsden conducted an experiment in which they scattered alpha particles (nuclei of helium atoms) from thin sheets of gold. An alpha particle, having charge +2e and mass 6.64 10-27 kg, is a product of certain radioactive decay's. The results of the experiment led Rutherford to the idea that most of an atoms mass is in a very small nucleus, with electrons in orbit around it. (This is the planetary model of the atom, which well study in Chapter 42.) Assume an alpha particle, initially very far from a stationary gold nucleus, is fired with a velocity of 2.00 107 m/s directly toward the nucleus (charge +79e). What is the smallest distance between the alpha particle and the nucleus before the alpha particle reverses direction? Assume the gold nucleus remains stationary.arrow_forwardCalculate the speed of (a) an electron and (b) a proton with a kinetic energy of 1.00 electron volt (eV). (c) Calculate the average translational kinetic energy in cV of a 3.00 102 K ideal gas particle. (Recall from Topic 10 that 12mv2 = 32kBT.)arrow_forwardYou are working for the summer at a research laboratory. Your research director has devised a scheme for holding small charged particles at fixed positions. The scheme is shown in Figure P23.35. A large insulating sphere of radius a carries a total positive charge Q with a uniform volume charge density. A very thin tunnel is drilled through a diameter of the sphere and two small spheres with charge q are placed in the tunnel. These spheres are represented by the blue dots in the figure. They find equilibrium positions at a distance of r on either side of the center of the sphere. Your research director has had great success with this scheme. (a) Determine the specific value of r at which equilibrium exists. (b) Your research director asks you to see if he can extend the system as follows. Determine if it is possible to add transparent plastic tubes as extensions of the tunnel and have the small spheres be in equilibrium at a position for which r a. Figure P23.35arrow_forward
- A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 18.55, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to continue moving. (a) Calculate the acceleration of the electorn if the field strength is 2.50104 N/C. (b) Explain why the electron will not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole.arrow_forwardCathode ray tubes (CRTs) used in old-style televisions have been replaced by modern LCD and LED screens. Part of the CRT included a set of accelerating plates separated by a distance of about 1.50 cm. If the potential difference across the plates was 25.0 kV, find the magnitude of the electric field in the region between the plates.arrow_forwardYou are working for the summer at a research laboratory. Your research director has devised a scheme for holding small charged particles at fixed positions. The scheme is shown in Figure P23.36. An insulating cylinder of radius a and length L a is positively charged and carries a uniform volume charge density . A very thin tunnel is drilled through a diameter of the cylinder and two small spheres with charge q are placed in the tunnel. These spheres are represented by the blue dots in the figure. They find equilibrium positions at a distance of r on opposite sides of the axis of the cylinder. Your research director has had great success with this scheme. (a) Determine the specific value of rat which equilibrium exists. (b) Your research director asks you see if he can extend the system as follows. Determine if it is possible to add transparent plastic tubes as extensions of the tunnel and have the small spheres be in equilibrium at a position for which r a. Figure P23.36arrow_forward
