(a) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an electron is 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C.

(b) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an proton is 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C.

<h3>Magnitude of electric field </h3>

The magnitude of electric field is given by the following equation.

F = qE

But F = mg

mg = qE

E = mg/q

where;

  • E is the electric field
  • m is mass of the particle
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • q is charge of the particle
<h3>For an electron</h3>

E = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C

<h3>For proton</h3>

E = (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C

Thus, the required vertical electric field is greater when the charge is proton.

What minimum heat is needed to bring 250 g of water at 20 ∘C to the boiling point and completely boil it away? The specific heat
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:633.8 KJ

Explanation:

Given

mass of water\left ( m\right )=250gm

Initial temperature\left ( T_i\right )=20^{\circ}C

Final temperature \left ( T_f\right )=100^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water \left ( c \right )=4190 J/kg-k

heat of vaporization\left ( L\right )=22.6\times 10^5 J/kg

Heat required for process\left ( Q\right )=heat to raise water temperature from 20 to 100 +Heat to vapourize water completely

Q=mc\left ( T_f-T_i\right )+mL

Q=0.25\times 4190\times \left ( 100-20\right )+0.25\times 22\times 10^5

Q=\left ( 0.838+5.5\right )\times 10^5

Q=6.338\times 10^5J=633.8 KJ
