Ch 21: Electric Charge and Electric Field

문제 20b

21장, 문제 20b

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate, $1.60$ cm distant from the first, in a time interval of $3.20$\times$10^{-6}$ s. Find the speed of the proton when it strikes the negatively charged plate.

검증된 단계별 안내

Start by understanding the motion of the proton. It is released from rest, meaning its initial velocity is zero. The proton is accelerated by the uniform electric field between the plates.

Use the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion:

v = u + a t

, where

v

is the final velocity,

u

is the initial velocity (0 in this case),

a

is the acceleration, and

t

is the time interval.

To find the acceleration, use the equation

a = \frac{F}{m}

, where

F

is the force on the proton due to the electric field and

m

is the mass of the proton. The force can be calculated using

F = q E

, where

q

is the charge of the proton and

E

is the electric field strength.

The electric field strength can be determined from the potential difference between the plates and the distance between them using

E = \frac{V}{d}

, where

V

is the potential difference and

d

is the distance between the plates.

Substitute the values for acceleration and time into the kinematic equation to find the final speed of the proton when it strikes the negatively charged plate.

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Uniform Electric Field

A uniform electric field is a region where the electric field strength is constant in magnitude and direction. In this scenario, the field exists between two parallel plates with opposite charges, causing a constant force on charged particles like protons, which accelerates them uniformly across the field.

Kinematics in Physics

Kinematics involves the study of motion without considering the forces that cause it. To find the speed of the proton, we use kinematic equations that relate displacement, time, initial velocity, and acceleration, assuming constant acceleration due to the uniform electric field.

Electric Force on a Proton

The electric force acting on a proton in an electric field is given by F = qE, where q is the charge of the proton and E is the electric field strength. This force causes the proton to accelerate, and understanding this relationship is crucial for calculating the proton's final speed as it moves between the plates.
