Figure 22-22 shows three arrangements of electric held lines. In each arrangement, a proton is released from rest at point A and is then accelerated through point B by the electric field. Points A and B have equal separations in the three arrangements. Rank the arrangements according to the linear momentum of the proton at point B, greatest first.

Answer to Problem 1Q
Solution:
(a)> (b)> (c).
Explanation of Solution
1) Concept:
Electric field strength is directly proportional to the density of field lines. Hence, the field is stronger when the lines are closely located and weaker when the lines are farther away. According to Newton’s second law, the rate of change of linear momentum of a body depends on the force acting on the body. Hence, the stronger the electric field, greater the force will be and also greater the linear momentum will be.
2) Formulae:
Electric field strength,
3) Given:
A proton is released from rest at point A and is then accelerated through point B.
4) Calculations:
Let us look at the given situations.
In case a, the field lines are closely located than in case b and c. Therefore the linear momentum of proton at B is greatest in case a.
In case b, the field lines are diverging from A towards B. In C the distance between field lines are farther than in case b and c. Therefore the electric field is greater in case b than in case c. Thus momentum of proton is greater in case b than case c.
Conclusion:
Using the relationship between linear momentum and force of a particle we can compare the momentum in the given scenarios.

- Determine the magnitude of the electric field at the surface of a lead-207 nucleus, which contains 82 protons and 125 neutrons. Assume the lead nucleus has a volume 207 times that of one proton and consider a proton to be a sphere of radius 1.20 ✕ 10-15 m.arrow_forwardTwo horizontal plates of opposite charge form a constant electric field = 1000 N/C directed vertically downwards. An electron of mass me and charge e* is fired horizontally with velocity v = 0.1c, where c = 3.00 x 108 m/s between the plates. Calculate the electron's acceleration. If the plates have length 1 m, find the electron's deflection from the horizontal when it emerges.arrow_forwardThe 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.arrow_forward
