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.

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

A coil with an inductance of 2.8 H and a resistance of 12 Ω is suddenly connected to an ideal battery with ε = 89 V. At 0.086 s
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The stored energy is 140.7 watt.

The thermal energy is 62.7 watt.

The delivered energy is 203.4 watt.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductance = 2.8 H

Resistance = 12 Ω

Potential \epsilon_{0}=89\ V

Time = 0.086 s

(a). We need to calculate the energy stored in the magnetic field

Using formula of current

i=i_{max}(1-e^(\frac{-t}{\tau}))

Using formula of energy

U=\dfrac{1}{2}Li^2

On differentiating

\dfrac{dU}{dt}=Li\frac{di}{dt}

\dfrac{dU}{dt}=L\dfrac{d}{dt}(i_{max}(1-e^(\frac{-t}{\tau}))

Again differentiating

\dfrac{dU}{dt}=\dfrac{\epsilon^2}{R}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}})e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}}

\dfrac{dU}{dt}=\dfrac{\epsilon^2}{R}(1-e^{\frac{-\t\times R}{L}})e^{\frac{-t\times R}{L}}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{dU}{dt}=\dfrac{(89)^2}{12}(1-e^{\dfrac{-0.086\times12}{2.8}})e^{\dfrac{-0.086\times12}{2.8}}

\dfrac{dU}{dt}=140.7\ watt

(b). We need to calculate the thermal energy

Using formula of thermal energy

P=i^2R

P=\dfrac{\epsilon^2}{R}(1-e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}})^2

Put the value into the formula

P=\dfrac{89^2}{12}(1-e^{\dfrac{-0.086\times12}{2.8}})^2

P=62.7\ Watt

(c). We need to calculate the delivered energy by the battery

Using formula of energy

P'=P+\dfrac{dU}{dt}

P'=62.7+140.7

P'=203.4\ watt

Hence, The stored energy is 140.7 watt.

The thermal energy is 62.7 watt.

The delivered energy is 203.4 watt.
