By what factor will the magnitude of the electrostatic force on either ball change after this experiment is performed?arrow_forwardQUESTION 1 Early in the 20th century, a leading model of the structure of the atom was that of English physicist J. J. Thomson (the discoverer of the electron). In Thomson's model, an atom consisted of a sphere of positively charged material in which were embedded negatively charged electrons, like chocolate chips in a ball of cookie dough. Consider such an atom consisting of one electron with mass m and charge -e, which may be regarded as a point charge, and a uniformly charged sphere of charge +e and radius R. By that time time, it was known that excited atoms emit light waves of only certain frequencies. In his model, the frequency of emitted light is the same as the oscillation frequency of the electron (s) problems in the atom. What radius (in millimeter) would a Thomson-model atom need for it to produce red light of frequency 4.57 x 1014 Hz? (Don't express your answer in scientific notation)arrow_forward

- I need help with this physics homework question, thank you!arrow_forwardItem 5 This problem explores the behavior of charge on realistic (i.e. non-ideal) insulators. We take as an example a long insulating rod suspended by insulating wires. Assume that the rod is initially electrically neutral. For convenience, we will refer to the left end of the rod as end A, and the right end of the rod as end B (Figure 1). In the answer options for this problem, "weakly attracted/repelled" means "attracted/repelled with a force of magnitude similar to that which would exist between two balls, one of which is charged, and the other acquires a small induced charge". An attractive/repulsive force greater than this should be classified as "strongly attracted/repelled".

Yet because the object is conductive, the charge spreads uniformly throughout the surface of the sphere. The uniform distribution of charge is explained by the fact that ____. a. the charged atoms at the location of charge move throughout the surface of the sphere b. the excess protons move from the location of charge to the rest of the sphere c. excess electrons from the rest of the sphere are attracted towards the excess protonsarrow_forward
