Question

a) Find Ey such that the particle will cross the x axis at x = 1.5 cm if the particle is an electron.

_______N/C

b) Find Ey such that the particle will cross the x axis at x = 1.5 cm if the particle is a proton.

_______N/C

A particle leaves the origin with a speed of 3.3 times 106 m/s at 36 degrees to the positive x axis. It moves in a uniform electric field directed along positive y axis. Find Ey such that the particle will cross the x axis at x = 1.5 cm if the particle is an electron. Find Ey such that the particle will cross the x axis at x = 1.5 cm if the particle is a proton.

Explanation / Answer

Part A)

The y component of the velocity = 3.3 X 10^6 (sin 36) = 1.94 X 10^6 m/s

The x component is (3.3 X 10^6)(cos 36) = 2.69 X 10^6 m/s

Start with d = vt in the x

.015 = (2.69 X 10^6)(t)

t = 5.57 X 10^-9 sec


In the y,

vf = vo + at

-1.94 X 10^6 = 1.94 X 10^6 + (a)(5.57X 10^-9)

a = 6.97 X 10^14 m/s^2

F = ma

F = (9.11 X 10^-31)(6.97 X 10^14)

F = 6.35 X 10^-16 N

F = qE

(6.35X 10^-16) = (1.6 X 10^-19)(E)

E = 3967 N/C


Part B)

SAME IDEA, NOW A PROTON

The y component of the velocity = 3.3 X 10^6 (sin 36) = 1.94 X 10^6 m/s

The x component is (3.3 X 10^6)(cos 36) = 2.69 X 10^6 m/s

Start with d = vt in the x

.015 = (2.69 X 10^6)(t)

t = 5.57 X 10^-9 sec


In the y,

vf = vo + at

-1.94 X 10^6 = 1.94 X 10^6 + (a)(5.57X 10^-9)

a = 6.97 X 10^14 m/s^2

F = ma

F = (1.67 X 10^-27)(6.97 X 10^14)

F = 1.16 X 10^-12 N

F = qE

(1.16 X 10^-12) = (1.6 X 10^-19)(E)

E = 7.27 X 10^6 N/C
