Question

1. Electric force and electric potential. Inside a linear accelerator, a proton (charge + ? = 1.602 × 10−19?) travels in a straight line from one point a to another point b a total distance ? = 0.50?. Along this line, the electric field is uniform with magnitude ? = 1.5 × 107? / ? = 1.5 × 107N / C in the direction from a to b. Determine
a) the force on the proton;
b) the work carried out on it by the field;
c) the potential difference?? − ??.

Expert Solution
Step 1

From the question, it is given that-
