- Integrated Concepts (a) What voltage will accelerate electrons to a speed of 6.00107m/s ? (b) Find the radius of curvature of the path of a proton accelerated through this potential in a 0.500-T field and compare this with the radius of curvature of an electron accelerated through the same potential.arrow_forwardA simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in Figure 18.55, where there is a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to continue moving. (a) Calculate the acceleration of the electorn if the field strength is 2.50104 N/C. (b) Explain why the electron will not be pulled back to the positive plate once it moves through the hole.arrow_forwardA charged particle moves through a velocity selector at constant velocity. In tire selector, E=1.0104NC and B = 0.250 T. When the electric field is turned off, tire charged particle travels in a circular path of radius 3.33 mm. Determine the charge-to-mass ratio of the particle.arrow_forward
- (a) Triply charged uranium-235 and uranium-238 ions are being separated in a mass spectrometer. (The much rarer uranium-235 is used as reactor fuel.) The masses of the ions are 3.901025kg kg and 3.951025kg, respectively, and 1hey travel at 3.00105m/s in a 0.250T field. What is the separation between their paths when they hit a target after traversing a semicircle? (b) Discuss whether this distance between their pains seems to be big enough to be practical in the separation of uranium-235 from uranium-238.arrow_forwardAn evacuated tube uses an accelerating voltage of 40 kV to accelerate electrons to hit a copper plate and produce x rays. Non-relativistically, what would be the maximum speed of these electrons?arrow_forwardIntegrated Concepts A lightning bolt strikes a tree, moving 20.0 C of charge through a potential difference of 1.00102 MV. (a) What energy was dissipated? (b) What mass of water could be raised from 15°C to the boiling point and then boiled by this energy? (c) Discuss the damage that could be caused to the tree by the expansion of the boiling steam.arrow_forward
- In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the twentieth century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward a gold nucleus, and its path was substantially deflected by the Coulomb interaction. If the energy of die doubly charged alpha nucleus was 5.00 MeV, how close to the gold nucleus (79 protons) could it come before being deflected?arrow_forwardThe liquid-drop model of the atomic nucleus suggests high-energy oscillations of certain nuclei can split the nucleus into two unequal fragments plus a few neutrons. The fission products acquire kinetic energy from their mutual Coulomb repulsion. Assume the charge is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of each spherical fragment and. immediately before separating each fragment is at rest and their surfaces are in contact. The electrons surrounding the nucleus can be ignored. Calculate the electric potential energy (in electron volts) of two spherical fragments from a uranium nucleus having the following charges and radii: 38e and 5.50 10-15 m. and 54e and 6.20 10-15 m.arrow_forwardIntegrated Concepts An electron has an initial velocity of 5.00106m/s in a uniform 2.00105N/C strength electric field. the field accelerates the electron in the direction opposite to its initial velocity. (a) What is the direction of the electric field? (b) How far does the electron travel before coming to rest? (c) How long does it take the electron to come to rest? (d) What is the electron’s velocity when it returns to its starting point?arrow_forward

(a) Calculate its kinetic energy in joules at 2.00% of the speed of light. (b) What is this in electron volts? (C) What voltage would be needed to obtain this energy?arrow_forwardThe planetary model of the atom pictures electrons orbiting the atomic nucleus much as planets orbit the Sun. In this model you can view hydrogen, the simplest atom, as having a single electron in a circular orbit 1.061010 m in diameter. (a) If the average speed of the electron in this orbit is known to be 2.20106 m/s, calculate the number of revolutions per second it makes about the nucleus. (b) What is the electron's average velocity?arrow_forward
