The classic Millikan oil-drop experiment was the first to obtain an accurate measurement of the charge on an electron. In it, oi

l drops were suspended against the gravitational force by a vertical electric field.
Consider an oil drop with a weight of 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ N, if the drop has a single excess electron, find the magnitude (in N/C) of the electric field needed to balance its weight. Your should round your answer to an integer, indicate only the number, do not include the unit.

Answer:

156250 N/C

Explanation:

weight of drop, W = 2.5 x 10^-14 N

charge of drop, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

Let the electric field is E.

Weight is balanced by the electrostatic force

W = qE

2.5 x 10^-14 = 1.6 x 10^-19 x E

E = 156250 N/C

Answer:

1.56\times 10^5 N/C        

Explanation:

The electric field that will balance the weight of the oil drop can be calculated using the following:

electric force, F = e E ( where, e is the charge of an electron and E is the electric field)

weight, W = 2.5 ×10⁻¹⁴ N

e E = W

E =\frac{W}{e}

Substitute the values:

E =\frac{ 2.5 \times 10^{-14} N}{1.6\times10^{-19}C}= 1.56\times 10^5 N/C

Would a bond between potassium and iodine most likely be covalent or ionic? Explain your answer
Ugo [173]
A covalent bond is between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal. Potassium is a metal and iodine is a nonmetal, so their bond would most likely be ionic.

If an electric wire is allowed to produce a magnetic field no larger than that of the earth (0.50×10−4t) at a distance of 12 cm
Studentka2010 [4]
The magnetic field generated by a wire carrying a current I is:
B(r) =  \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}
where r is the distance at which the magnetic field is measured, and \mu_0 = 4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2} is the magnetic permeability in vacuum.

The problem says that the magnetic field at a distance r=12 cm=0.12 m from the wire must be no larger than B=0.5 \cdot 10^{-4}T. Substituting these values, we can find the maximum value of the current I that the wire can carry:
I= \frac{2 \pi r B}{\mu _0} = \frac{2 \pi (0.12 m)(0.5 \cdot 10^{-4}T)}{ 4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2}}= 30 A
