Answer:

(A) E = 2.633 * 10^19 N/C

(B) E = 1.096 * 10^13 N/C

(C) E = -1.096 * 10^13 N/C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of protons, N = 92

Radius of Uranium nucleus = 7.4 * 10^-15 m

Electronic charge, ẹ = 1.6023 * 10^-19 C

Electric field at a point R due to a charge Q is given as

E = (k*Q) / (R^2)

Where k =Coulombs constant

(A) Since there are 92protons,the total Electric field due to the protons will be:

E = (k*e*N) / (R * R)

E = (9 * 10^9 * 92 * 1.6023 * 10^-19) / (7.4 * 10^-15)^2

E = 2.633 * 10^19 N/C

(B) At the position of the electrons, R = 1.1 * 10^-10m. Therefore, Electric field will be:

E = (9 * 10^9 * 92 * 1.6023 * 10^-19) / (1.1 * 10^-10)^2

E = 1.096 * 10^13 N/C

(C) There are 92 electrons in the Uranium atom and electrons have a charge - e, hence, the Electric field due to the electrons at the nucleus will be:

E = -(k*e*N) / (R * R)

E = -(9 * 10^9 * 92 * 1.6023 * 10^-19) / (1.1 * 10^-10)^2

E = -1.096 * 10^13 N/C

Calculate the speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V.
AVprozaik [17]

The speed of a proton after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 350 V is 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s.

Initial velocity of the proton u = 0

Given potential difference \Delta V = 350V

let's assume that the speed of the proton is v,

Since the proton is accelerating through a potential difference, proton's potential energy will change with time. The potential energy of a particle of charge q when accelerated with a potential difference \Delta V is,

    U = q \Delta V

Due to Work-Energy Theorem and Conservation of Energy - <em>If there is no non-conservative force acting on a particle then loss in Potential energy  P.E must be equal to gain in Kinetic Energy K.E</em> i.e

\Delta K = \Delta V

If the initial and final velocity of the proton is u and v respectively then,

change in Kinetic Energy  \implies  \Delta K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 -\frac{1}{2}mu^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0

change in Potential Energy \implies \Delta U = q\Delta V

from conservation of energy,

             v= \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta V}{m}}

so,         v = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 350 \times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

                = 25.86 \times 10^4 ~m/s

A nitrogen isotope has an atomic number of 7 and an atomic mass of 15. the respective numbers of neutrons, protons, and electron
anygoal [31]
Atomic Number = amount of protons. Atomic mass = protons (7) and neutrons (8)


Electrons will be the protons - any charge the isotope has. For example, a +2 charge would make the electrons 7- (+2) = 5. A -2 charge would be electrons 7 - (-2) = 9
