An electron is released from rest on the axis of a uniform positively charged ring, 0.200 m from the ring's center. If the linea

r charge density of the ring is 0.100 µC/m and the radius of the ring is 0.400 m, how fast will the electron be moving when it reaches the center of the ring?

Answer:

Velocity of the electron at the centre of the ring, v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Linear charge density of the ring=0.1\ \rm \mu C/m
  • Radius of the ring R=0.2 m
  • Distance of point from the centre of the ring=x=0.2 m

Total charge of the ring

Q=0.1\times2\pi R\\Q=0.1\times2\pi 0.4\\Q=0.251\ \rm \mu C

Potential due the ring at a distance x from the centre of the rings is given by

V=\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\

The potential difference when the electron moves from x=0.2 m to the centre of the ring is given by

\Delta V=\dfrac{kQ}{R}-\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\\Delta V={9\times10^9\times0.251\times10^{-6}} \left( \dfrac{1}{0.4}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{(0.4^2+0.2^2)}} \right )\\\Delta V=5.12\times10^2\ \rm V

Let\Delta U be the change in potential Energy given by

\Delta U=e\times \Delta V\\\Delta U=1.67\times10^{-19}\times5.12\times10^{2}\\\Delta U=8.55\times10^{-17}\ \rm J

Change in Potential Energy of the electron will be equal to the change in kinetic Energy of the electron

\Delta U=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\8.55\times10^{-17}=\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}v^2}{2}\\v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s

So the electron will be moving with v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s

Answer:

The acceleration is 1 cm/s^2.

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Here, initial velocity, u = 3/1 = 3 cm/s

final velocity, v = 4/1 = 4 cm/s

time, t = 1 s

Let the acceleration is a.  

Use first equation of motion

v =  u + at

4 = 3 + 1 x a

a = 1 cm/s^2

Which can do work faster-a 700 watt gasoline engine or a 300 watt electric motor
iogann1982 [59]

"700 watts" means 700 joules of work per second.

"300 watts" means 300 joules of work per second.

If the labels on both machines are true, and both machines
are loaded to their full capacity, then the 700-watt engine
is doing work faster than the 300-watt one.
