A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from re

st at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, 1.70 cm distant from the first, in a time interval of 1.48×10−6 s .
Find the magnitude of the electric field.


Find the speed of the proton when it strikes the negatively charged plate.

1) Magnitude of the electric field

The distance traveled by the proton is equal to the distance between the two plates:

d = 1.70 cm = 0.017 m

And the proton takes t=1.48 \cdot 10^{-6}s to cover this distance. From these data, we can find the acceleration experienced by the proton

a=\frac{2d}{t^2}=\frac{2(0.017 m)}{(1.48 \cdot 10^{-6} s)^2}=1.55 \cdot 10^{10} m/s^2

But we know that the electric force F exerted on the proton is equal to the proton mass (m) times the acceleration (a):

F=ma=(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg)(1.55 \cdot 10^{10} m/s^2)=2.59 \cdot 10^{-17} N

and since the electric force is equal to the electric field strength, E, times the proton charge, q: F=qE, we can find E:

E=\frac{F}{q}=\frac{2.59 \cdot 10^{-17} N}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=161.88 N/C


2) Speed of the proton as it strikes the negative plate

Since the proton starts from rest, its speed at time t is given by:

v(t) = at

substituting the values of acceleration and time that we found in the previous part of the problem, we can calculate the speed of the proton:

v=at=(1.55 \cdot 10^{10} m/s^2)(1.48 \cdot 10^{-6} s)=22940 m/s

The magnitude of the electric field can be calculated using the equation

E = \frac{F}{q}, where F is the Force acting on the proton and q is the charge of the proton.

We know that the charge of the proton is q = 1.6 x 10^{-19}  C

We have to calculate the Force first.

We know that F = ma from Newton's 2nd law, where m is the mass of the proton and a is the acceleration.

We know that the mass of the proton m = (1.67) X 10^{-27}  kg

So it turns out that we have to calculate acceleration before anything else.

In order to calculate the acceleration, we make use of the following data from the question:

Initial Velocity of the proton V_{i}  = 0

Distance traveled  D = 1.70 cm = 0.017 m

Time taken for the travel between the plates t = (1.48) X 10^{-6}  s

Acceleration a = ?

Using the equation, D = V_{i}t + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}, we get

Knowing that initial velocity is 0, the equation reduces to D = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Rearranging the equation so as to make a the subject of the formula, we have

a = \frac{2D}{t^{2} }

Plugging in the numbers and simplifying gives us a = 1.5 x 10^{10}   m/s^{2}

We can now calculate the Force using F = ma

Plugging in the known values, we get F = 2.5 x 10^{-17}  N

Using this, we can calculate E through the equation E = \frac{F}{q}

Plugging the numbers and simplifying gets us E = 156.25 N/C

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the capacitor is 156.25 N/C


B) To calculate the Final Velocity of the proton, we can make use of the equation

V_{f}  = V_{i}  + at

Plugging the numbers in and simplifying gets us V_{f}  = (2.22)  *  10^{4}  m/s

Answer:

ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

q = +9 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Due to being made up of matter, the planet Earth has a series of positive and negative charges, in general these charges should be balanced and the net charge of the planet should be zero, but there are several phenomena that introduce unbalanced charges, for example:

* ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

This creates that the planet has a net electrical load

         

We can roughly calculate the charge of the planet

             E = k q / r²

             q = E r² / k

let's calculate

             q = 200 (6.37 10⁶)²/9 10⁹

              q = +9 10⁵ C

Vi = 5.0 m/s horizontally
A=9.81 m/s^2

Find:
Horizontal displacement

Solution:
D=ViT+(1/2)AT^2
Dy=(1/2)AT^2
T^2=Dy/(1/2)A
T=sqrt(Dy/(1/2)A)
T=sqrt(20/4.905)
T=2.0s

Dx=ViT
Dx=(5.0)(2.0)
Dx=10. meters
