As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p

roton and an electron are situated 911 nm from each other and you study the forces that the particles exert on each other. As expected, the predictions of Coulomb's law are well confirmed.

Answer:

Explanation:

charge, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

distance, r = 911 nm = 911 x 10^-9 m

The Coulomb's force is given by

F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

F=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{\left (911\times 10^{-9}  \right )^2}

F = 2.78 x 10^-16 N

The force between the electron and the proton is 2.78 x 10^-16 N.

an electron is released from rest in a region of space with a nonzero electric field.1. As the electron moves, does the electric
zvonat [6]

Answer:

1. a. increase

2. Because the electron has a negative charge its electric potential energy does not decrease as one might expect, but increases instead.

Explanation:

Lets first consider the relation between the electric field and electric potential.

E = -ΔV/Δs

As this equation indicates that the electric field is due to the change in potential and change in the the position of charge. Electric field is directed towards the decreasing potential and the electron moves in the opposite direction of the electric field  where potential increases. Thats why the best explanation is that the electron has a negative charge it moves towards the positive region where the electric potential energy increases.
