Answer:
1) The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero if the copper block is in equilibrium.
2) In equilibrium, there is no net flow of mobile charged particles inside a conductor.
3) If the net electric field at a particular location inside a piece of metal is not zero, the metal is not in equilibrium.
Explanation:
1) and 3) A block of copper is a conductor. The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest, so the intensity of the electric field at all interior points of the conductor is zero, otherwise, the charges would move resulting in an electric current.
2) The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest.
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
v = 49 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
Find: t
v = at + v₀
49 m/s = (9.8 m/s²) t + 0 m/s
t = 5 s
A voltmeter is the instrument used to measure a potential difference between two points in an electric circuit
Answer:
the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m is 10143.57 V/m or 1.01 × 10⁴ V/m
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Kinetic energy of each proton that makes up the beam = 3.25 × 10⁻¹⁵ J
Mass of proton = 1.673 × 10⁻²⁷ kg
Charge of proton = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C
distance d = 2 m
we know that
Kinetic Energy = Charge of proton × Potential difference ΔV
so
Potential difference ΔV = Kinetic Energy / Charge of proton
we substitute
Potential difference ΔV = ( 3.25 × 10⁻¹⁵ ) / ( 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ )
Potential difference ΔV = 20287.14 V
Now, the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m will be;
E = Potential difference ΔV / distance d
we substitute
E = 20287.14 V / 2 m
E = 10143.57 V/m or 1.01 × 10⁴ V/m
Therefore, the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons in a distance of 2 m is 10143.57 V/m or 1.01 × 10⁴ V/m
