DATA CP Design of an Inkjet Printer. Inkjet printers can be described as either continuous or drop-on-demand. In a continuous inkjet printer, letters are built up by squirting drops of ink at the paper from a rapidly moving nozzle. You are part of an engineering group working on the design of such a printer. Each ink drop will have a mass of 1.4 × 10−8 g. The drops will leave the nozzle and travel toward the paper at 50m/s, passing through a charging unit that gives each drop a positive charge q by removing some electrons from it. The drops will then pass between parallel deflecting plates, 2.0 cm long, where there is a uniform vertical electric field with magnitude 80 × 104 N/C. Your team is working on the design of the charging unit that places the charge on the drops, (a) It a drop is to be deflected 0.30 mm by the time it reaches the end of the deflection plates, what magnitude of charge must be given to the drop? How many electrons must be removed from the drop to give it this charge? (b) If the unit that produces the stream of drops is redesigned so that it produces drops with a speed of 25 m/s, what q value is needed to achieve the same 0.30-min deflection?

Assume that the internal diameter of a Geiger-Mueller tube is 1.95 cm and that the wire along the axis has a diameter of 0.210 mm. The dielectric strength of the gas between the central wire and the cylinder is 1.30 106 V/m.

- If the cable wire of my charger is damaged exposing the copper wire, I should cover it with electrical tape because, * The electrical tape is a conductor, thus it will prevent the flow of electricity from the copper wire which is a conductor as well. The electrical tape is an insulator, thus it will prevent the flow of electricity from the copper wire which is an insulator as well. The electrical tape is a conductor, thus it will prevent the flow of electricity from the copper wire which is an insulator. The electrical tape is an insulator, thus it will prevent the flow of electricity from the copper wire which is a conductor.arrow_forwardQ.4 (a) Draw and label a gold leaf electroscope.
