It is known that the gravitational force of attraction between two alpha particles is much weaker than the electrical repulsion.

For two alpha particles at a distance d apart, calculate the ratio of the size of the gravitational attraction to that of the electrical repulsion. Specifically, find the magnitude of Gravitational/Electrical.

Answer:

<em>The ratio of gravitational force to electrical force is 3.19 x 10^-36 </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

mass of an alpha particle = 6.64 x 10^{-27} kg

charge on an alpha particle = +2e = +2(1.6 x 10^{-19} C) = 3.2 x 10^{-19} C

distance between particles = d

For gravitational attraction:

The force of gravitational attraction F = \frac{Gm^{2} }{r^{2} }

where G = gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^{-11} m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

r = the distance between the particles = d

m = the mass of each particle

therefore, gravitational force = \frac{6.67*10^{-11}*(6.64*10^{-27} )^{2}  }{d^{2} } = \frac{2.94*10^{-63} }{d^{2} }  Newton

For electrical repulsion:

Electrical force between the particles = \frac{-kQ^{2} }{r^{2} }

where k is the Coulomb's constant = 9.0 x 10^{9} N•m^2/C^2

r = distance between the particles = d

Q = charge on each particle

therefore, electrical force = \frac{-9*10^{9}*(3.2*10^{-19} )^{2}  }{d^{2} } = \frac{-9.216*10^{-28} }{d^{2} } Newton

the negative sign implies that there is a repulsion on the particles due to their like charges.

Ratio of the magnitude of gravitation to electrical force = \frac{2.94*10^{-63} }{9.216*10^{-28} }

==> <em>3.19 x 10^-36 </em>

Assume a solar cell would produce a current of 500mA and 3 V. What is the power of this solar cell?
defon

Answer:

the power of the solar cell is 1.5 watts

Explanation:

Recall that power is defined as the product of the voltage (V) times the running current (I): Power = V * I.

The only thing we have to take care of before actually performing the operation, is to convert milliamps into Amps, so our answer comes directly in the appropriate units (Watts). 500 mAmps can be written as 0.5 Amps, then, the product becomes:

Power = V * I = 3 V * 0.5 Amps = 1.5 watts
