Answer to Problem 39.88CP
Explanation of Solution
The formula to calculate the acceleration of the charge is,
As the speed of charge approaches to the speed of light, the acceleration approaches to zero.
When the speed of the charge is very small as compared to that of the speed of the light the above equation can be transformed.
So the relative expression is transformed to the classical expression when the speed of the charge is very small as compared to that of the speed of the light.
Conclusion
Therefore, the significance of the dependence of the acceleration on the speed is that when the speed of the charge is very small as compared to that of the speed of light the relative expression is transformed to the classical expression.

- A positively charged ball falls vertically along the lines of a uniform electric field. The weight of the ball is larger than the electric force. The air drag force, exerted on the ball, is directly proportional to its speed. The mass and charge of the ball are equal to 0.46 kg and 0.22 C. The magnitude of the electic field is 5 V/m. Determine the ratio v1/v2, where v1 and v2 are the speeds of steady (i.e., constant speed) motion when the electric field vector is oriented downwards and upwards, respectively.arrow_forwardA particle with electric charge q moves along a straight line in a uniform electric field E with speed u. The electric force exerted on the charge is qĒ. The velocity of the particle and the electric field are both in the x direc- tion.

If the particle starts from rest at x = 0 at i = 0, how would you proceed to find the speed of the particle and its position at time ?arrow_forwardNewer automobiles have filters that remove fine particles from exhaust gases. This is done by charging the particles and separating them with a strong electric field. Consider a positively charged particle +3.1 µC that enters an electric field with strength 6 ✕ 106 N/C. The particle is traveling at 21 m/s and has a mass of 10−9 g. What is the acceleration of the particle? (Enter the magnitude only.)arrow_forward

(R = 6.4x 10° m, m, = 1.67x 1027 ka %3Darrow_forwardWhy is the following situation impossible? Two identical dust particles of mass 1μg are floating in empty space, far from any external sources of large gravitational or electric fields, and at rest with respect to each other. Both particles carry electric charges that are identical in magnitude and sign. The gravitational and electric forces between the particles happen to have the same magnitude, so each particle experiences zero net force and the distance between the particles remains constant.arrow_forwardAt some instant the velocity components of an electron moving between two charged parallel plates are vx = 1.5 * 10^5 m/s and vy =3.0 * 10^3 m/s.

(a) It is attractive and directed in the +x direction. (b) It is attractive and directed in the -x direction. (c) It is repulsive and directed in the +x direction. (d) It is repulsive and directed in the –x direction.arrow_forwardI need the answer as soon as possiblearrow_forwardThe gravitational force between two masses m and m2 located a distance r apart has a magnitude of FG =Gmm2, where G = 6.674×10 N ⋅ m2/kg2; this has a nearly identical form to the Coulomb force law between two charges (except the force constants are different and masses are always positive). Suppose two identical spherical masses with radius a = 30 μm and mass density ρm = 2.2 × 103 kg/m3 are located a distance L apart. If they are released rest, their gravitational attraction will cause them to eventually collide. If, however, each mass has the same charge, then a Coulomb force will oppose the gravitation force. Suppose each mass has an excess of n extra electrons that causes both to be negatively charged. Find the minimum number n that would prevent the masses from colliding.arrow_forward

A proton is released from rest at the surface of the positively charged plate and strikes the surface of the opposite plate in a time interval 1.54×10−6 s.
