A parallel-plate capacitor has 2.0cm×2.0cmelectrodes with surface charge densities ±1.0×106C/m2. A proton traveling parallel to the electrodes at 1.0×106m/s enters the center of the gap between them. By what distance has the proton been deflected sideways when it reaches the far edge of the capacitor? Assume the field is uniform inside the capacitor and zero outside the capacitor.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The proton been deflected sideways when it reaches the far edge of the capacitor is

a=0.108×1014m2s

t=2×108sec

y=2.2mm

Step by step solution

01

Acceleration and Velocity

η=1×106( charge densities)

From inside battery, there must be an electric current due to just a paired surface.

E=ηϵo=acceleration

a=qEmp

=qηϵomp

a=1.6×1019×1068.85×1012×1.67×1027

a=0.108×1014m2s

So there is no force as in downward motion, the pace is same:

d=vt

t=dv

=2×102106

=2×108sec

02

Distance

With in vertical motion, ion sweep area

y=ut+12at2

y=12×0.108×1014×2×1082

y=2.2mm

A circular disk has a surface charge density 8nC/cm2. What will the surface charge density be if the radius of the disk is doubled?

Your physics assignment is to figure out a way to use electricity to launch a small 6.0-cm-long plastic drink stirrer. You decide that you’ll charge the little plastic rod by rubbing it with fur, then hold it near a long, charged wire, as shown in FIGURE P23.56. When you let go, the electric force of the wire on the plastic rod will shoot it away. Suppose you can uniformly charge the plastic stirrer to 10nCand that the linear charge density of the long wire is 1.0×10-7C/m. What is the net electric force on the plastic stirrer if the end closest to the wire is 2.0cmaway?

Hint: The stirrer cannot be modeled as a point charge; an integration is required.

A ring of radius Rhas total chargeQ.

aAt what distance along the z-axis is the electric field strength a maximum?

bWhat is the electric field strength at this point?

A 12-cmlong thin rod has the nonuniform charge density λ(x)=(2.0nC/cm)e-|x|/(6.0cm), where localid="1648623923714" xis measured from the center of the rod. What is the total charge on the rod?

Hint: This exercise requires an integration. Think about how to handle the absolute value sign.

A sphere of radius R has charge Q. The electric field strength at distancer>RisEi. What is the ratio Ef/Eiof the final to initial electric field strengths if
