An electron is released from rest on the axis of a uniform positively charged ring, 0.200 m from the ring's center. If the linea

Answer:

Velocity of the electron at the centre of the ring, $v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Linear charge density of the ring= $0.1\ \rm \mu C/m$
Radius of the ring R=0.2 m
Distance of point from the centre of the ring=x=0.2 m

Total charge of the ring

$Q=0.1\times2\pi R\\Q=0.1\times2\pi 0.4\\Q=0.251\ \rm \mu C$

Potential due the ring at a distance x from the centre of the rings is given by

$V=\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\$

The potential difference when the electron moves from x=0.2 m to the centre of the ring is given by

$\Delta V=\dfrac{kQ}{R}-\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\\Delta V={9\times10^9\times0.251\times10^{-6}} \left( \dfrac{1}{0.4}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{(0.4^2+0.2^2)}} \right )\\\Delta V=5.12\times10^2\ \rm V$

Let $\Delta U$ be the change in potential Energy given by

$\Delta U=e\times \Delta V\\\Delta U=1.67\times10^{-19}\times5.12\times10^{2}\\\Delta U=8.55\times10^{-17}\ \rm J$

Change in Potential Energy of the electron will be equal to the change in kinetic Energy of the electron

$\Delta U=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\8.55\times10^{-17}=\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}v^2}{2}\\v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s$

So the electron will be moving with $v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s$

Which does not describe the relationship between the nucleus and the electron cloud of an atom?

Margaret [11]

Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are true.

In choice 'b', I'm not sure what it means when it says that masses
are 'balanced'. To me, masses are only balanced when they're on
a see-saw, or on opposite ends of a rope that goes over a pulley.

Maybe the statement means that the mass of the nucleus and the
mass of the electron cloud are equal. This is way false. It takes
more than 1,800 electrons to make the mass of ONE proton or
neutron, and the most complex atom in nature only has 92 electrons
in it. So there's no way that the masses of the nucleus and the electrons
in one atom could ever be anywhere near equal.

The state of matter is an example of a physical property. Why is the state of matter considered aphysical property, even though

lora16 [44]

The three states of matter are the three distinct physical forms that matter can take in most environments: solid, liquid, and gas. In extreme environments, other states may be present, such as plasma, Bose-Einstein condensates, and neutron stars. Further states, such as quark-gluon plasmas, are also believed to be possible. Much of the atomic matter of the universe is hot plasma in the form of rarefied interstellar medium and dense stars.

Explain two ways that static and current electricity are different?

tia_tia [17]

Static electricity is caused by the build up of electrical charges on the surface of objects, while current electricity is a phenomenon from the flow of electrons along a conductor. 2. When objects are rubbed, a loss and/or gain of electrons occurs, which results in the phenomenon of static electricity.
