A particle having charge q = +2.00 μC and mass m = 0.010 0 kg is connected to a string that is L = 1.50 m long and tied to the pivot point P in Figure P25.9. The particle, string, and pivot point all lie on a frictionless, horizontal table. The particle is released from rest when the string makes an angle θ = 60.0° with a uniform electric field of magnitude E = 300 V/m. Determine the speed of the particle when the string is parallel to the electric field. | bartleby
There is a uniform vertical downward electric field as shown in the figure whose intensity is 1200N/C. If an electric charge q = 276 μC is thrown horizontally, with a speed V0 = 5.50 x 10^6 m/s, the mass of the charge is m = 8.67 x 10^-6 kg and it is thrown from a height of 10.0 cm.
a. The weight of the load is:_____N.
b. The acceleration of the load is:_____m/s2 .
c. It is valid in this case to consider that the weight is negligible compared to the electric force acting on the load.
d. The load drop time is:_____°.
You are working on a research project in which you must control the direction of travel of electrons using deflection plates. You have devised the apparatus shown. The plates are of length ℓ = 0.500 m and are separated by a distance d = 3.00 cm. Electrons are fired at υi = 5.00 x 106 m/s into a uniform electric field from the left edge of the lower, positive plate, aimed directly at the right edge of the upper, negative plate. Therefore, if there is no electric field between the plates, the electrons will follow the broken line in the figure. With an electric field existing between the plates, the electrons will follow a curved path, bending downward. You need to determine (a) the range of angles over which the electron can leave the apparatus and (b) the electric field required to give the maximum possible deviation angle.
