An electron is launched at a 45angle and a speed of 5.0×106m/sfrom the positive plate of the parallel-plate capacitor shown in FIGURE P23.52. The electron lands 4.0cmaway.

a. What is the electric field strength inside the capacitor?

b. What is the smallest possible spacing between the plates?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The electric field strength inside the capacitor isa=6.3×1014m/s2

b. The smallest possible spacing between the plates is

E=3.6×103N/C

H=1cm

Step by step solution

01

Velocity (part a)

The pace as in downward motion Vocos45.

And there is no stress with in downward motion

so,

d=Vocos45×t.

t=dVocos45

localid="1650219090644" =4×102m×25×106m/s×1

Force (part b)

Force is,

The ozone molecule O3 has a permanent dipole moment of 11.8×10-30Cm. Although the molecule is very slightly bent— which is why it has a dipole moment—it can be modeled as a uniform rod of length 2.5×10-10m with the dipole moment perpendicular to the axis of the rod. Suppose an ozone molecule is in a 5000N/C uniform electric field. In equilibrium, the dipole moment is aligned with the electric field. But if the molecule is rotated by a small angle and released, it will oscillate back and forth in simple harmonic motion. What is the frequency f of oscillation?

Two 2.0-cmdiameter disks face each other, 1.0mmapart. They are charged to ±10nC.

a. What is the electric field strength between the disks?

b. A proton is shot from the negative disk toward the positive disk. What launch speed must the proton have to just barely reach the positive disk?

Two10cmdiameter charged rings face each other,20cmapart. Both rings are charged to+20nC. What is the electric field strength at (a) the midpoint between the two rings and (b) the center of the left ring?

In Problems 63 through 66 you are given the equation(s) used to solve a problem. For each of these

a. Write a realistic problem for which this is the correct equation(s).

b. Finish the solution of the problem
