9 soot
Modern smokestacks use devices called scrubbers to remove large
amount of pollution in the form of small particles (soot). Scrubbers
use a two steps process: electrons are first added to the soot particle,
and an electric force then pulls the particle out of the smoke stream.
Soot Consider a soot particle of mass msoot= 1.1 nanograms (1.1e-12 kg),
particles which corresponds to a diameter of a few micrometers. Some number
moving of electrons have been added to give the particle a total charge asoot-
upward Suppose the collector has a total charge acollector 1.9e-06 C. If the
separation between the collector and the soot particle is r = 0.15 m,
Ground
What is the magnitude of ¶soot (in units of C) so that the
electric force exerted on the particle is equal to its weight = mg ?.
Use: g =
10 m/s2, and k = 9E9 Nm²/C².
1.45x10-17 C
