Answer:

a) 8.83*10⁵ m/s  b) 2.80*10⁶ m/s

Explanation:

a) Assuming no other forces acting on the proton, the acceleration on it is produced by the electric field.

By definition, the  force due to the electric field is as follows:

F = q*E = e*E (1)

where e is the elementary charge, the charge carried by only one proton, and is e = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C.

According to Newton's 2nd law, this force is at the same time, the product of the mass of the proton, times the acceleration a:

F = mp*a (2)

From (1) and(2), being left sides equal, right sides must be equal too:

F = e*E = mp*a

Solving for a:

a = \frac{e*E}{mp} =\frac{1.6e-19C*1.36e5N/C}{1.67e-27kg} =1.3e13 m/s2

⇒ a = 1.3*10¹³ m/s²

As we have the value of a (which is constant due to the field is uniform), the displacement x, and we know that the initial velocity is 0, in order to get the value of the speed, we can use the following kinematic equation:

vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*x

Replacing by v₀ = 0, a= 1.3*10¹³ m/s² and  x = 0.03 m, we can find vf as follows:

vf =\sqrt{2*(1.3e13 m/s2)*0.03m} = 8.83e5 m/s

⇒ vf = 8.83*10⁵ m/s

b) We can just repeat the equation from above, replacing x=0.03 m by x=0.3 m, as follows:

vf =\sqrt{2*(1.3e13 m/s2)*0.3m} = 2.80e6 m/s

⇒ vf = 2.80*10⁶ m/s

Answer:

Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ

Explanation:

Let us have a small charge element dq which produces an electric field E. There is also a symmetric field at P due to a symmetric charge dq at P. Their vertical electric field components cancel out leaving the horizontal component dE' = dEcosθ = dqcosθ/4πε₀R² where r is the radius of the arc.

Now, let λ be the charge per unit length on the arc. then, the small charge element dq = λds where ds is the small arc length. Also ds = Rθ.

So dq = λRdθ.

Substituting dq into dE', we have

dE' = dqcosθ/4πε₀R²

= λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R²

= λdθcosθ/4πε₀R

E' = ∫dE' = ∫λRdθcosθ/4πε₀R² = (λ/4πε₀R)∫cosθdθ from -θ to θ

E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ] from -θ to θ

E' = (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ]

= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ - sin(-θ)]

= (λ/4πε₀R)[sinθ + sinθ]

= 2(λ/4πε₀R)sinθ

= (λ/2πε₀R)sinθ

Now, the total charge Q = ∫dq = ∫λRdθ from -θ to +θ

Q = λR∫dθ = λR[θ - (-θ)] = λR[θ + θ] = 2λRθ

Q = 2λRθ

λ = Q/2Rθ

Substituting λ into E', we have

E' = (Q/2Rθ/2πε₀R)sinθ

E' = (Q/θ4πε₀R²)sinθ

E' = Qsinθ/4πε₀R²θ where θ is in radians
