In Rutherford's famous scattering experiments (which led to the planetary model of the atom), alpha particles (having charges of +2e and masses of 6.64 x 10-27 kg) were fired toward a fixed gold nucleus with charge +79e. An alpha particle, initially very far from the gold nucleus, is fired at 1.6 x 107 m/s directly toward the gold nucleus, as in Figure P16.19. How close does the alpha particle get to the gold nucleus before turning around? Ze Figure P16.19

6. Two identical spheres with mass m are hung from silk threads of length L as shown in Fig. Each sphere has the same charge q1=92=9. L L mass m charge 91 mass m charge 92 The radius of each sphere is very small compared to the distance between the spheres, so they may be treated as point charges. Show that if the angle is small, the equilibrium separation between the spheres is d = 2πε mg

Levitation: The largest electric field strength you can create in air before dielectric breakdown (a spark) occurs is about 3.0 x 10°V/m. Suppose you created an electric field with this strength – pointing directly upward – between a set of parallel plates that are 9.9cm apart. You want to use this system to levitate water droplets with a mass of 1.8g. (a) How much charge would you have to put on a droplet to make it levitate? (b) Suppose that 43 charged droplets are levitating and the field strength suddenly drops by 24 percent, to about 2.3 x 106 V/m, how quickly would the droplets accelerate? E
Two identical spheres are attached to silk threads of length L=0.60 m and hung from a common point as shown in the figure. Each sphere has a mass m=7.0 g. One sphere is given a charge q1, and the other is given a different charge q2, this causes the spheres to separate so that when the spheres are in equilibrium, each thread makes an angle = 20 degrees with the vertical. A small wire is then connected to the spheres, allowing charge to be transferred from one sphere to the other until the two spheres have equal charges, the wire is then removed. Each thread now makes an angle = 30 degrees. Determine the original charge (in micro-coulomb) of q1.
