Newer automobiles have filters that remove fine particles from exhaust gases. This is done by charging the particles and separating them with a strong electric field. Consider a positively charged particle +4.7 µC that enters an electric field with strength 6 ✕ 106 N/C. The particle is traveling at 21 m/s and has a mass of 10−9 g.
a) What is the acceleration of the particle? (Enter the magnitude only.)
b) What is the direction of the acceleration of the particle relative to the electric field?
Ex : A particle ( mass = 5.0g, charge = 40mC ) move in a region of space
where the electric field is uniform and is given by E, = 2.5N/c,Ey = E, = 0.
If the velocity of particle at t 0 is given by vy =
%3!
50m/s,v = v,y = 0, what
is the speed of particle at t= 2. Os.
The friends now try a homework problem.
Consider an electron, of charge magnitude e = 1.602 × 10-¹⁹ C and mass me = 9.11 x 10-31 kg, moving in an elect
field with an electric field magnitude E = 7 x 10² N/C, similar to what Thana observed in the simulation. Let the leng
the plates be L = 50 cm, and the distance between them be d = 20 cm. Find the maximum speed, v, the electron co
be moving if it enters the space halfway between and parallel to the two plates to just barely strike one of the plates
7.01e+06 X m/s
If the field is pointing upward, which plate will Thana conclude the electron strikes at this speed?
The lower plate, because the electron is negatively charged.
The lower plate, because the electron is attracted to the negative plate.
The upper plate, because we are only considering the magnitude of the electron charge, and magnitudes are
always positive.
O
The upper plate, because the electron charge magnitude is positive.
