Answer:

The new electrostatic force will be half the initial force.

Explanation:

Let is call the charges of the two objects Q_1 and Q_2, if the separation between them is R, then the electrostatic force F between them will be

F = k\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2},

where k is the coulomb's constant.

If let's say the charge Q_1 is halved, then it becomes  Q_1/2. The electrostatic force then becomes

F_{new} = k\dfrac{(Q_1/2)Q_2}{R^2} =  k\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{2R^2},

\boxed{F_{new} =\dfrac{F}{2}.}

Thus, the new electrostatic force will be half the initial force.

A horizontal beam of electrons initially moving at 4.0×10^7 m/s is deflected vertically by the vertical electric field between o
givi [52]

Answer:

1.77\times 10^{-7}\ C/m^2

0.000439077936334 m

Explanation:

q = Charge of electron = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

E = Electric field = 2\times 10^{4}\ N/C

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

d = Distance between plates = 2 cm (assumed)

m = Mass of electron = 9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

The beam consists of electrons which means it has negative charge this means the upper plates will be positive and the lower plate will be negative.

The direction is upper to lower lower plate.

\epsilon_0 = Permittivity of free space = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

Electric flux is given by

\phi=\epsilon_0E\\\Rightarrow \phi=8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 2\times 10^{4}\\\Rightarrow \phi=1.77\times 10^{-7}\ C/m^2

The charge per unit area on the plates is 1.77\times 10^{-7}\ C/m^2

Deflection is given by

s=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{qE}{m}(\dfrac{d}{v})^2\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2\times 10^4}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}(\dfrac{0.02}{4\times 10^7})^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.000439077936334\ m

The deflection is 0.000439077936334 m
