How is a net electric charge produced

1 answer:

4 0

If an object has more protons than electrons, then the net charge on the object is positive. If there are more electrons than protons, then the net charge on the object is negative. If there are equal numbers of protons and electrons, then the object is electrically neutral.

The electron gun in a television tube accelerates electrons (mass = 9.11x10^-31 kg, charge = 1.6 x 10^-19C) from rest to 3 x10^7

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Electric field acting on the electron is 127500 N/C.

Explanation:

It is given that,

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

Charge on electron, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electron, $v=3\times 10^7\ m/s$

Distance covered, s = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We need to find the electric field required. Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron from third equation of motion as :

$a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}$

$a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2-0}{2\times 0.02}$

$a=2.25\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

According to Newton's law, force acting on the electron is given by :

F = ma

$F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 2.25\times 10^{16}$

$F=2.04\times 10^{-14}\ N$

Electric force is given by :

F = q E, E = electric field

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}$

$E=\dfrac{2.04\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

E = 127500 N/C

So, the electric field is 127500 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.

An uncharged metal sphere, A, is on an insulating base. A second sphere, B, of the same size, shape, and material carrying charg

solong [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we bring the charged sphere B close to, but not touching it , to the uncharged sphere A, as charges can move freely on the conductor, a charge -Q will be built on the outer surface of the sphere A, facing to sphere B.
As the sphere A must remain neutral, a charge Q will be built on the surface, on the side farther to the sphere B, as the following condition must be met:

Q +(-Q) =0.

If we now remove sphere B, and place it far away, there will be a charge redistribution within sphere A, making to disappear the separation between Q and -Q.
The total charge on sphere A must be 0, as there is no charge transfer from sphere B to sphere A.

A person uses 750 kcal on a long walk calculate the energy used for the walk in kilojoules

guapka [62]

Basically, this problem asks you to convert kilocalories (kcal) to kilojoules (kJ). Both are units of energy. To convert kcal to kJ, the equivalence is: 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ. Through dimensional analysis, the solution is as follows:

750 kcal * 4.184 kJ/1 kcal = 3,138 kJ
