Question

A proton at location A makes an electricfield E-->1 atlocation B. A different proton, placed atlocation B, experiences a force F--->1.
If |E-->|= 300 N/C, what is |F-->1|?
|F-->1|= N
Now the proton at B is removed and replaced by alithium nucleus, containing three protons and four neutrons. Theproton at location A remains in place.
What is the magnitude of the electric force on the lithium nucleus?
|F-->Li| = N
Now the Lithium nucleus is removed, and an electron is placed atlocation B. The proton atlocation A remains in place. What is the magnitude of the electric force on the electron?
|F-->1| = N

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

 |F-->1| =  E-->1 x charge on proton

= 300 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

Magnitude of electric force on proton

|F-->1| = 480 x 10⁻¹⁹ N .

Inside lithium nucleus , there are three protons so charge on it

= 3 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C .

Magnitude of electric force on lithium nucleus

|F-->Li|  =   E-->1 x charge on lithium nucleus

= 300 x  4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 1440 x 10⁻¹⁹ N .

Electron has same charge as that possessed by proton so charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Magnitude of force on electron

|F-->1| =  E-->1 x charge on electron

= 300 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

=  480 x 10⁻¹⁹ N .
