An electron enters the gap between the plates of a capacitor at the center of the gap traveling parallel to theplates at 2.0 x 1

06m/s parallel to the plates. If the gap has a width of 1.0 cm and the surface charge densityof the upper and lower plates are±1.0 x 10−6C/m2, respectively. How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate? (Assume that the electric field is uniform inside the capacitor and zero outside.)

Answer:

How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate is 248.125mm

Explanation:

Applying Gauss' law:

Electric Field E = Charge density/epsilon nought

Where charge density=1.0 x 10^-6C/m2 & epsilon nought= 8.85× 10^-12

Therefore E = 1.0 x 10^-6/8.85× 10^-12

E= 1.13×10^5N/C

Force on electron F=qE

Where q=charge of electron=1.6×10^-19C

Therefore F=1.6×10^-19×1.13×10^5

F=1.808×10^-14N

Acceleration on electron a = Force/Mass

Where Mass of electron = 9.10938356 × 10^-31

Therefore a= 1.808×10^-14 /9.11 × 10-31

a= 1.985×10^16m/s^2

Time spent between plate = Distance/Speed

From the question: Distance=1cm=0.01m and speed = 2×10^6m/s^2

Therefore Time = 0.01/2×10^6

Time =5×10^-9s

How far the electron would travel S =ut+ at^2/2 where u=0

S= 1.985×10^16×(5×10^-9)^2/2

S=24.8125×10^-2m

S=248.125mm

Consider a loop of wire with a resistor. In the same plane, (with switch S closed) a long wire has a current I flowing from left

Ulleksa [173]

Solution :

The given figure is a loop of a wire with a resistor.

When the switch S is closed for long time and is suddenly opened, the direction of the induced current can be find out by using the rule of right hand screw. According to the right hand screw rule, the direction of the magnetic field at the loop is in the direction that points outwards. The strength of the current rapidly decreases as it is switch off and the magnetic flux that is linked with the loop wire will also decrease.

According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current must be such $\text{that it opposes}$ the decrease in the magnetic flux. It means the direction of the magnetic field must be outwards and also normal to the plane of the screen. The direction of the induced anti clockwise or from right to left in the resistance.

Group 7A of the periodic table contains the?

olga2289 [7]

The correct answer is A. Most reactive non metals.

Firstly if some one knows how to read the periodic table he would have no confusion in deciding whether group 7 has metals or non metals. Group 7 contains non metals so basically we can easily cancel out two options of metals.

Secondly group 7 non metals are the most reactive non metals as they need only one electron in order to complete their valence shell and become stable.

A 2000 kg car slams on the brakes and slows down at a rate of -10 m/s2. How much force are the brakes applying?

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

-20,000N

Explanation:

Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s²)

So,

Force = 2000 x -10

= -20,000N (Newtons)

Two particles, one with charge -5.45 × 10^-6 C and one with charge 4.39 × 10^-6 C, are 0.0209 meters apart. What is the magnitud

Levart [38]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=-5.45\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=4.39\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance between charges, r = 0.0209 m

1. The electric force is given by :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

$F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{-5.45\times 10^{-6}\times 4.39\times 10^{-6}}{(0.0209)^2}$

F = -492.95 N

2. Distance between two identical charges, $r=0.0209\ m$

Electric force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_3^2}{r^2}$

$q_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}$

$q_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{492.95\times (0.0209)^2}{9\times 10^9}}$

$q_3=4.89\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Hence, this is the required solution.
