List four conditions that may result in the emission of electrons from a conductor

Physics

QveST [7]2 years ago

There are 4 ways in which electrons are emitted from the conductor.

i. Thermionic emission

ii. Electric field electron emission

iii. Photoelectric emission

iv. Secondary emission


In thermionic emission large amount of external energy in the form of heat is supplied to release free electrons from the metal.


In electric field electron emission, electrons are emitted from the metal surface when the metals are placed in a very strong electric field.


During photoelectric emission, light is absorbed by the metals and this provides energy to the valence electrons which break their bond with the parent atom and which are then released from the atom.


Valence electrons do have some kinetic energy, but they don't have enough energy to escape from the atom. During secondary emission, a high-speed electron is bombarded with an atom, which provides the energy for the valence electrons to break their bonds with their parent atom which are then released from the atom.

Answer:

Conditions that result in the emission of electrons from a conductor:

Heating the conductor to a suitable temperature

Exposing the conductor to a strong light

Subjecting the conductor to a very high applied voltage

Subjecting the conductor to high-speed electrons from another source

PLEASE HELP ):
jolli1 [7]

The first thing we must do for this case is the sum of forces in a horizontal direction.

We have then:

F1 + F2 = m * a

Substituting values we have:

50 + 75 = m * 2.5

From here, we clear the mass of the object:

m * 2.5 = 125\\m = 125 / 2.5\\m = 50 Kg

We now look for the weight of the object.

W = m * g

Where,

g: acceleration of gravity (9.8 m/s^2)

Substituting values:

W = 50 * 9.8\\W = 490 N

Answer:

the weight of the object is:

W = 490 N

option 4

We often use a spoon to cool coffee by stirring. Some of the heat is conducted from the coffee to the air by this method, but th
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

heat lost by coffee = heat gain by aluminum spoon

heat lost by coffee = mc ( 85° C - T)

175 ml of water = 175 grams

175 grams = (175 / 1000) kg = 0.175 kg

heat loss by coffee = 0.175 × 4182 J/Kgk ( 85 - T) = 731.85 ( 85-T) = 62207.25 - 731.85 T

heat gain by aluminum spoon = 0.012kg × 897 J/kgK ( T - 22) = 10.764 T - 236.808

10.764 T - 236.808 = 62207.25 - 731.85 T

10.764 T + 731.85 T = 62207.25 + 236.808

T = 84.086 ° C approx 84°C

How is the motion of an object affected when a force acts on it?
Arada [10]

Newton's first law of motion is sometimes called the law of inertia. When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. Unbalanced forces can cause an object to accelerate or decelerate. Unbalanced forces can also cause an object to change direction.

Hope that helps!
