In an experiment replicating Millikan’s oil drop experiment, a pair of parallel plates are placed 0.0200 m apart and the top pla

te is positive. When the potential difference across the plates is 240.0 V, an oil drop of mass 2.0 × 10-11 kg gets suspended between the plates. (e = 1.6 × 10-19 C)
a) Draw a free-body diagram for the charge.

b) What is the charge on the oil drop?

c) Is there an excess or deficit of electrons on the oil drop? How many electrons are in excess or deficit?

Answer: See below

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

The potential between plates, V = 240 V

Distance between plates, d = 0.02 m

The mass of drop, m = 2x10^-11

Charge on electron, e = 1.6x10^-19

Part (a)

The free-body diagram is attached below

Part (b)

The electric field is given by,

E=\frac{V}{d}

On applying force balance, the force on oil drop is equal to the weight of the oil,

$$\begin{aligned}F_{E} &=m g \\q E &=m g \\q \frac{V}{d} &=m g \\q &=\frac{m g d}{V}\end{aligned}$$

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

\begin{aligned}&q=\frac{2 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{~kg} \times 9.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{~N}}{1 \mathrm{~kg} \cdot \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}} \times 0.02 \mathrm{~m}}{240 \mathrm{~V} \times \frac{1 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{C}}{1 \mathrm{~V}}} \\&q=1.63 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{C}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the charge on the oil drop is 1.63x10^-14 C

Part (c)

There will be an excess of electrons on the oil drop.

The number of electrons on oil drop can be calculated as,

\begin{aligned}q &=n e \\1.63 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{C} &=n \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C} \\n &=1.01 \times 10^{5}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the number of excess electrons is 1.01x10^5

Equal currents of magnitude I travel into the page in wire M and out of the page in wire N. The direction of the magnetic field
mario62 [17]

Answer:

<em>The direction of the magnetic field on point P, equidistant from both wires, and having equal magnitude of current flowing through them will be pointed perpendicularly away from the direction of the wires.</em>

Explanation:

Using the right hand grip, the direction of the magnet field on the wire M is counterclockwise, and the direction of the magnetic field on wire N is clockwise. Using this ideas, we can see that the magnetic flux of both field due to the currents of the same magnitude through both wires, acting on a particle P equidistant from both wires will act in a direction perpendicularly away from both wires.

The driver of a car slams on the brakes, causing the car to slow down at a rate of
sdas [7]

Answer:

A. The time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. The initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Final velocity (V) = 0

Time (t) =?

Initial velocity (U) =?

A. Determination of the time taken for the car to stop.

Let us obtain an express for time (t)

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (V)/time(t)

a = V/t

Velocity (V) = distance (s) /time (t)

V = s/t

a = s/t^2

Cross multiply

a x t^2 = s

Divide both side by a

t^2 = s/a

Take the square root of both side

t = √(s/a)

Now we can obtain the time as follow

Acceleration (a) = 26ft/s2

Distance (s) = 256ft

Time (t) =..?

t = √(s/a)

t = √(256/26)

t = 3.14 secs

Therefore, the time taken for the car to stop is 3.14 secs

B. Determination of the initial speed of the car.

V = U + at

Final velocity (V) = 0

Deceleration (a) = –26ft/s2

Time (t) = 3.14 sec

Initial velocity (U) =.?

0 = U – 26x3.14

0 = U – 81.64

Collect like terms

U = 81.64 ft/s

Therefore, the initial velocity is 81.64 ft/s

A standard AA battery provides 1.5 V. How many pennies and nickels would you need to include in a voltaic pile to produce the sa
GrogVix [38]

Answer: In a battery, voltage determines how strongly electrons are pushed through a circuit, much like pressure determines how strongly water is pushed through a hose. Most AAA, AA, C, and D batteries are around 1.5 volts. Imagine the batteries shown in the diagram are rated at 1.5 volts and 500 milliamp-hours.

Explanation: Today "AA" is frequently used as a size designation, irrespective of the battery's electrochemical system. The main numbers used for the most common NiMH and NiCad battery
