What is the escape speed for an electron initially at rest on the surface of a sphere with a radius of 1.20 cm and a uniformly distributed charge of 1.70 × 10-15 C? That is, what initial speed must the electron have in order to reach an infinite distance from the sphere and have zero kinetic energy when it gets there? The charge of an electron is 1.602 × 10-1⁹ C and its mass is 9.109 × 10-31 kg. Number i Units
Helium is the second element on the periodic table, meaning it contains two protons in its nucleus. Normally, helium contains two electrons that orbit the nucleus, however you can ionize the helium, which is stripping an electron from the atom. With 2 protons in the nucleus of the atom, what will be the centripetal acceleration of the electron in an ionized helium atom? ( the electron or it’s at a radius of 29.3 x 10^-12 m around the nucleus)
What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 8651 N/C and is directed due north?
A sphere of uniform charge density rho=10^−6 C/m 3 has a small hole drilled along its diameter, forming a tunnel from one end of the sphere to the other. An electron is released at the opening of the tunnel and begins to move, speeding up towards the center of sphere. After it passes the center of the sphere, it begins to slow down until it reaches the other end of the tunnel and stops. The electron then moves back up to the first opening and start the cycle again. It repeats this cycle many times. Find the frequency of this cyclic motion.

A typical AA size rechargeable NiMH battery can store 1100-2100 mAh of electric charge. The small print on the battery in your hand says 1530 mAh. Can you express this amount of electric charge using the usual coulomb units? You are now charging a camera battery. The charger moves 4470 C of electric charge from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal. (In reality the charger moves the negative electrons from the positive terminal to the negative terminal, but this is not important for us right now.) Assuming - incorrectly - that the voltage of the battery remains a constant 3.20 V during the whole charging process, determine the work done by the charger. And now you are charging a capacitor bank for a high-voltage physics experiment. The power supply moves Q = 8990 C of electric charge in the charging process. The supply is set to stop, when the voltage reaches AV = 710 V. How much work did the power supply perform?
b) The uniform electric field between two parallel and opposite charge plates separated by 30 mm has an intensity of 2.5 x10³ N/C. An electron is released from the negative plate with zero initial velocity. What is the kinetic energy of the electron at the halfway point.
Singly-ionized helium contains two protons and one electron (there are also neutrons, but they have net zero charge and are not pertinent to this problem). Suppose the electron is located a distance of 2.65 × 10^-11 m from the nucleus. Place the nucleus at the origin of your coordinate system and the electron on the positive-x axis. What is the position on the x-axis at which the electric field is zero?
In the early 1900s, scientists modelled the hydrogen atom as an electron orbiting a proton. Like when we look at the Earth and Sun, we can consider the proton to be stationary, and the electron to be in orbit around the proton in a perfect circle. Unlike the Earth and Sun, the force responsible for the circular motion of the electron is the attractive electric force between the proton and electron. All other forces can be ignored. Experiments showed that the electron's orbital radius was 5.29x10^-11m. a) Calculate the speed of the electron in its orbit. b) Show that the circumference of the electron's orbit (2 times pi times radius) is about equal to the electron's De Broglie wavelength at that speed. Electron: mass = 9.11x10^-31kg, charge = -1.60x10^-19C. Proton: mass = 1.67x10^-27kg, charge = +1.60x10^-19C. Coulomb's constant: k = 9.00x10^9 Nm^2/C^2 Planck's constant: h = 6.63x10^-34 Js
A proton is projected horizontally midway between two parallel plates that are separated by 0.47 cm. The uniform electric field has magnitude 6.0 × 105 N/C between the plates. If the plates are 5.6 cm long, find the minimum speed of the proton if it just misses the lower plate as it emerges from the field. The gravitational force on the proton can be neglected.

One form of nuclear radiation, beta decay, occurs when a neutron changes into a proton, an electron and a neutral particle called a neutrino. When this change happens to a neutron within the nucleus of an atom, the proton remains behind in the nucleus while the electron and neutrino are ejected from the nucleus. The ejected electron is called a beta particle. One nucleus that exhibits beta decay is the isotope of hydrogen 3H, called tritium, whose nucleus consists of one proton (making it hydrogen) and two neutrons (giving tritium an atomic mass m = 3u). Tritium is radioactive, and it decays to helium. Suppose an electron is ejected from a 3H atom, which has a radius of 1.000×10-14 m. The resulting 3He atom has the same radius as the 3H atom. What is the escape velocity of the electron ejected from the process? Note: Your answer may be larger than the speed of light which is okay in this scenario. To solve this problem correctly we would need to use special relativity.
