What is the connection between electrons and protons

Physics

1 answer:

TEA [102]3 years ago

7 0

Answer:

Electrons and protons are connected with one another in term of charge and size.

Explanation:

The size of electron and proton is always same in any atom but they possess opposite charge.
Electron in any atom carries negative charge where as proton carries the positive charge.
In any neutral atom the charge between electron and proton is balanced along with the size.
The nucleus of any atom bounds only proton and neutron but the electron is present revolving around the nucleus.

Why is a frame of reference important in Physics?

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

A “frame of reference” is a standard relative to which motion and rest may be measured; any set of points or objects that are at rest relative to one another enables us, in principle, to describe the relative motions of bodies.

Explanation:

When you see a ball roll down a street, you can tell the ball is moving because the frame of reference is the streets, whatever may be on the side of the roads, or the Earth. All of these are frames of reference. All measurements of motion will be compared to a frame of reference.

At the equator, near the surface of the Earth, the magnetic field is approximately 50.0 μT northward, and the electric field is

n200080 [17]

a) $8.93\cdot 10^{-30} N$ , downward

b) $1.76\cdot 10^{-17} N$ , upward

c) $1.20\cdot 10^{-17} N$ , downward

Explanation:

The gravitational force of an object (also known as weight of the object) is the attractive force with which the object is pulled towards the Earth's centre.

For an object near the Earth's surface, the magnitude of the gravitational force is given by the equation

$F=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

In this problem, we have:

$m=9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

Therefore, the gravitational force on the electron is:

$F=(9.11\cdot 10^{-31})(9.8)=8.93\cdot 10^{-30} N$

And the direction is downward, towards the Earth's centre.

The electric force on a charged particle is the force produced by the presence of an electric field.

In particular, this force is:

- Repulsive (away from the source of the field) if the charge has the same sign of the charge source of the field

- Attractive (towards the source of the field) if the charge has opposite sign to the charge source of the field

The magnitude of the electric force is given by:

$F=qE$

where

q is the charge of the particle

E is the strength of the electric field

In this problem:

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the electron

$E=110 N/C$ is the strength of the electric field

Substituting,

$F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(110)=1.76\cdot 10^{-17} N$

And since the electron has negative charge, the direction of the force is opposite to that of the electric field, so upward.

When a charged particle is moving in a magnetic field, it experiences a force which is perpendicular to both the direction of motion of the charge and to the direction of the magnetic field.

The magnitude of this force is given by (if the charge moves perpendicular to the magnetic field)

$F=qvB$

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the strength of the magnetic field

In this problem:

$q=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$ is the charge of the electron

$v=1.50\cdot 10^6 m/s$ is the velocity

$B=50.0\mu T = 50.0 \cdot 10^{-6} T$ is the strength of the magnetic field

Substituting,

$F=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(1.50\cdot 10^6)(50.0\cdot 10^{-6})=1.20\cdot 10^{-17} N$

And the direction can be determined using the right-hand rule:

- Index finger: direction of velocity (eastward)

- Middle finger: direction of magnetic field (northward)

- Thumb: direction of force (upward) --> however the electron has negative charge, so the direction of the force is reversed --> downward
