Chapter 4: Q45E (page 716)

If two electrons are each from a proton (Fig. E21.45), find the magnitude and direction of the net electric force they will exert on the proton.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of net electric force is and direction is

Step by step solution

01

About Net electric Force exert on proton

If a particular charge encounters two or more interactions, then the net electric force is the vector sum of those individual forces.

Direction is given by

02

Determine the magnitude and direction of the net electric force exert on the proton.

Distance between two electron

Solve for force exerted for each electron on proton

Solve for horizontal direction

solve for vertical direction

Solve for magnitude of net force

Solve for the direction of netelectricforce

Therefore the magnitude of net electric force is and direction is

03

Plot the Graph for showing the force

In the circuit shown in Fig. E26.47 each capacitor initially has a charge of magnitude 3.50 nC on its plates. After the switch S is closed, what will be the current in the circuit at the instant that the capacitors have lost 80.0% of their initial stored energy?

Could an accelerator be built in which all the forces on the particles, for steering and for increasing speed, are magnetic forces? Why or why not?

The magnetic force on a moving charged particle is always perpendicular to the magnetic fieldB→. Is the trajectory of a moving charged particle always perpendicular to the magnetic field lines? Explain your reasoning.

A 12.4-µF capacitor is connected through a 0.895-MΩ resistor to a constant potential difference of 60.0 V. (a) Compute the charge on the capacitor at the following times after the connections are made: 0, 5.0 s, 10.0 s, 20.0 s, and 100.0 s. (b) Compute the charging currents at the same instants. (c) Graph the results of parts (a) and (b) for t between 0 and 20 s

BIO The average bulk resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0Ω·m. The conducting path between the hands can be represented approximately as a cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible bysoaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) What potential difference between thehands is needed for a lethal shock current of 100 mA ? (Note that your result shows that small potential differences produce dangerous currents when the skin is damp.) (c) With the current in part (b),what power is dissipated in the body?
