A uranium ion and an iron ion are separated by a distance of, R=23.30 nm, as shown in the figure. The uranium atom is singly ionized; the iron atom is doubly ionized.
Calculate the distance r from the uranium atom at which an electron will be in equilibrium. Ignore the gravitational attraction between the particles.
What is the magnitude ?UFU of the force on the electron from the uranium ion?
The gravitational force between two masses m and m2 located a distance r apart has a magnitude of FG =Gmm2,
where G = 6.674×10 N ⋅ m2/kg2; this has a nearly identical form to the Coulomb force law between two charges (except the force constants are different and masses are always positive). Suppose two identical spherical masses with radius a = 30 μm and mass density ρm = 2.2 × 103 kg/m3 are located a distance L apart.
If they are released rest, their gravitational attraction will cause them to eventually collide. If, however, each mass has the same charge, then a Coulomb force will oppose the gravitation force. Suppose each mass has an excess of n extra electrons that causes both to be negatively charged. Find the minimum number n that would prevent the masses from colliding.
