A particle with a charge of +4.20nC is in a uniform electric field E⃗ directed to the left. It is released from rest and moves t

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

(A). The work done is $1.50\times10^{-6}\ J$ .

(B). The potential of the starting point with respect to the endpoint is 357.14 V.

(C). The magnitude of E is 5952.38 N/C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge = 4.20 nC

Distance = 6.00 cm

Kinetic energy $K.E=1.50\times10^{-6}\ J$

The particle start from rest.

So, the initial kinetic energy i zero.

(A). We need to calculate the work by the electric force

Using formula of work done

$W = \Delta K.E$

$W=K.E_{f}-K.E_{i}$

Put the value into the formula

$W= 1.50\times10^{-6}-0$

$W=1.50\times10^{-6}\ J$

The work done is $1.50\times10^{-6}\ J$ .

(B). We need to calculate the potential of the starting point with respect to the endpoint

We know that.

Change in potential energy = change in kinetic energy

$\Delta P.E=\Delta K.E$

So, $U = 1.50\times10^{-6}$

Using formula of potential

$V=\dfrac{U}{q}$

Put the value into the formula

$V=\dfrac{1.50\times10^{-6}}{4.20\times10^{-9}}$

$V=357.14\ V$

The potential of the starting point with respect to the endpoint is 357.14 V.

(C). We need to calculate the magnitude of E

Using formula of work done

$W=F\times r$ ....(I)

Using formula of force

$F=qE$

Put the value in the equation (I)

$W=qE\times r$

$E=\dfrac{W}{q\times r}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1.50\times10^{-6}}{4.20\times10^{-9}\times6.00\times10^{-2}}$

$E=5952.38\ N/C$

The magnitude of E is 5952.38 N/C.

Hence, This is the required solution.
