Problem 2: A proton orbits a long charged wire, making N = 1.0x10° revolutions per second. The radius of the orbit is R = 1.0 cm (see Fig.2). What is the wire's linear charge density? a) For such motion to be possible, should the charge on the wire be positive or negative? In Fig.2, draw the electric field created by the wire. b) Express the centripetal acceleration of the proton in terms of its orbital pa- rameters R and N. R тр, е FIG. 2: The scheme for Problem 2
I don't know how to do this trouble, I need help with Problems A,B, C, and D. Can you label which one is A,B,C and D
The charge per unit length is referred to as linear charge density. At every point on a line charge distribution, the linear charge density is the amount of charge per unit length, expressed in coulombs per meter. Electric charge can be positive or negative , hence charge density can also be positive or negative.
Centripetal acceleration is a characteristic of an object's motion in a circular route. Centripetal acceleration applies to any item travelling in a circle with an acceleration vector pointing in the direction of the circle's center.
E.M. radiation is produced when a proton is propelled by an electric field, hence it should lose mass.
