Here we want to study how the linear charge density changes as we change the measures of our body.

We will find that we need to add 9*Q of charge to keep the linear charge density unchanged.

<em>I will take two assumptions:</em>

The charge is homogeneous, so the density is constant all along the wire.

As we work with a linear charge density we work in one dimension, so the wire "has no radius"

Originally, the wire has a charge Q and a length L.

The linear charge density will be given by:

λ = Q/L

Now the length of the wire is stretched to 10 times the original length, so we have:

L' = 10*L

We want to find the value of Q' such that λ' (the <u>linear density of the stretched wire</u>) is still equal to λ.

Then we will have:

λ' = Q'/L' = Q'/(10*L) = λ = Q/L

Q'/(10*L) = Q/L

Q'/10 = Q

Q' = 10*Q

So the new <u>charge must be 10 times the original charge</u>, this means that we need to add 9*Q of charge to keep the linear charge density unchanged.

An accelerating voltage of 2.47 x 10^3 V is applied to an electron gun, producing a beam of electrons originally traveling horiz
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

Explanation:

E = Accelerating voltage = 2.47×10³ V

m = Mass of electron

Distance electron travels = 33.5 cm = 0.335 cm

E=\frac{mv^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2470\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}}\\\Rightarrow v=29455356.08671\ m/s

Deflection by Earth's Gravity

\Delta =\frac {gt^2}{2}

Now, Time = Distance/Velocity

\Delta =\frac {g\frac{s^2}{v^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =\frac{9.81\frac{0.335^2}{29455356.08671^2}}{2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta =6.3445\times 10^{-16}\ m

∴ Magnitude of the deflection on the screen caused by the Earth's gravitational field is 6.3445×10⁻¹⁶ m

miss Akunina [59]
The total work done by the electric field on the charge is given by the scalar product between the electric force acting on the charge and the displacement of the charge:
W=F d cos \theta
where the force is F=qE, d=0.556 and \theta=55.2^{\circ}. Using the value of q and E given by the problem, we find
W=qEdcos\theta = 6.39\cdot10^{-5}J
