It describes the process by which surface electron's are emitted from a metal when light is shined on it.
And it tells us that light at a higher intensity must contain more quanta of energy, known as protons.

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. a proton is released from re

dedylja [7]

According to Newton's second law

E.e = a * mp ..... (1)

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field; e = 1.6 * 10^-19 is the elementary charge; mp = 1.67*10^-27 kg is the proton mass; a is the acceleration.

So, the distance

l = at^2/2 .......(2)

The proton accelerated

a = 2l / t^2 ...........(3)

From equations (1) and (3)

E= 32.51 V/m

Electric field

The physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts a force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them, is known as an electric field (also known as an E-field). It can also refer to a system of charged particles' physical field. Electric charges and time-varying electric currents are the building blocks of electric fields. The electromagnetic field, one of the four fundamental interactions (also known as forces) of nature, manifests itself in both electric and magnetic fields.

A 0.46-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.2 m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels

Kryger [21]

Answer:

T = 6.0 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of the cord = 0.46 Kg

length of the supports = 7.2 m

time taken to travel = 0.74 s

tension in the chord = ?

using formula for tension calculation

$T = \dfrac{v^2.m}{l}$

$v = \dfrac{l}{s}$

$v = \dfrac{7.2}{0.74}$

v = 9.73 m/s

now, calculation of tension

$T = \dfrac{9.73^2\times 0.46}{7.2}$

T = 6.0 N

The tension in the cord is equal to 6.0 N.

Consider three identical metal spheres, A, B, and C. Sphere A carries a charge of +6q. Sphere B caries a charge of-2q. Sphere C

miskamm [114]

<h2>20. How much charge is on sphere B after A and B touch and are separated?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We'll solve this problem by using the concept of electric potential or simply called potential $V$ , which is <em>the energy per unit charge, </em>so the potential $V$ at any point in an electric field with a test charge $q_{0}$ at that point is:

$V=\frac{U}{q_{0}}$

The potential $V$ due to a single point charge q is:

$V=k\frac{q}{r}$

Where $k$ is an electric constant, $q$ is value of point charge and $r$ is the distance from point charge to where potential is measured. Since, the three spheres A, B and C are identical, they have the same radius $r$ . Before the sphere A and B touches we have:

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r_{A}} \\ \\ But: \\ \\ \ r_{A}=r_{B}=r$

When they touches each other the potential is the same, so:

$V_{A}= V_{B} \\ \\ k\frac{q_{A}}{r}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}}$

From the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant. </em>So:

$q_{A}+q_{B}=q \\ \\ q_{A}=+6q \ and \ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ So: \\ \\ \boxed{q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q}$

Therefore:

$(1) \ q_{A}=q_{B} \\ \\ (2) \ q_{A}+q_{B}=+4q \\ \\ (1) \ into \ (2): \\ \\ q_{A}+q_{A}=+4q \therefore 2q_{A}=+4q \therefore \boxed{q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q}$

So after A and B touch and are separated the charge on sphere B is:

$\boxed{q_{B}=+2q}$

<h2>21. How much charge ends up on sphere C?</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$\boxed{q_{C}=+1.5q}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

First: A and B touches and are separated, so the charges are:

$q_{A}=q_{B}=+2q$

Second: C is then touched to sphere A and separated from it.

Third: C is to sphere B and separated from it

So we need to calculate the charge that ends up on sphere C at the third step, so we also need to calculate step second. Therefore, from the second step:

Here $q_{A}=+2q$ and C carries no net charge or $q_{C}=0$ . Also, $r_{A}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{A}=k\frac{q_{A}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

Applying the same concept as the previous problem when sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{A}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{A}+q_{C}=+2q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+q$

Finally, from the third step:

Here $q_{B}=+2q \ and \ q_{C}=+q$ . Also, $r_{B}=r_{C}=r$

$V_{B}=k\frac{q_{B}}{r} \\ \\ V_{C}=k\frac{q_{C}}{r}$

When sphere touches we have:

$k\frac{q_{B}}{r} =k\frac{q_{C}}{r} \\ \\ q_{B}=q_{C}$

For the principle of conservation of charge:

$q_{B}+q_{C}=+3q \\ \\ q_{A}=q_{C}=+1.5q$

So the charge that ends up on sphere C is:

$q_{C}=+1.5q$

<h2>22. What is the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other.</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

$+4q$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Before they are allowed to touch each other we have that:

$q_{A}=+6q \\ \\ q_{B}=-2q \\ \\ q_{C}=0$

Therefore, for the principle of conservation of charge <em>the algebraic sum of all the electric charges in any closed system is constant, </em>then this can be expressed as:

$q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+6q -2q +0 \\ \\ \therefore q_{A}+q_{B}+q_{C}=+4q$

Lastly, the total charge on the three spheres before they are allowed to touch each other is:

$+4q$
