Review. In an electron microscope, there is an electron gun that contains two charged metallic plates 2.80 cm apart. An electric force accelerates each electron in the beam from rest to 9.60% of the speed of light over this distance. (a) Determine the kinetic energy of the electron as it leaves the electron gun. Electrons carry this energy to a phosphorescent viewing screen where the microscope’s image is formed, making it glow. For an electron passing between the plates in the electron gun, determine (b) the magnitude of the constant electric force acting on the electron, (c) the acceleration of the electron, and (d) the time interval the electron spends between the plates.

- A Van de Graaff accelerator utilizes a 50.0 MV potential difference to accelerate charged particles such as protons. (a) What is the velocity of a proton accelerated by such a potential? (b) An electron?arrow_forward(a) At what speed will a proton move in a circular path of the same radius as the electron in the previous exercise? (b) What would the radius of the path be if tlie proton had the same speed as the election? (c) What would the radius be if the proton had tlie same kinetic energy' as die electron? (d) The same momentum?arrow_forwardFour charged particles are at rest at the corners of a square (Fig. P26.14). The net charges are q1 = q2 = +2.65 C and q3 = q4 = 5.15 C. The distance between particle 1 and particle 3 is r13 = 1.75 cm. a. What is the electric potential energy of the four-particle system? b.

- (a) Find the potential difference VB required to stop an electron (called a slopping potential) moving with an initial speed of 2.85 107 m/s. (b) Would a proton traveling at the same speed require a greater or lesser magnitude potential difference? Explain. (c) Find a symbolic expression for the ratio of the proton stopping potential and the electron stopping potential, Vp/Ve. The answer should be in terms of the proton mass mp and electron mass me.arrow_forwardSuppose an electron (q= -e= -1.6x 10-19 C.m=9.1×10-31 kg) is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of Vab = +5000 v. Solve for the final speed of the electron. Express numerical answer in two significant figures. The potential energy U is related to the electron charge (-e) and potential Vab is related by the equation: U- Assuming all potential energy U is converted to kinetic energy K. K+U=0 K--U Since K=mv and using the formula for potential energy above, we arrive at an equation for speed: 1/2 Plugging in values, the value of the electron's speed is: x 10' m/sarrow_forwardFill in the blanks.arrow_forward
- Before liquid crystal display LCD computer and television screens, the screens were cathode-ray tube CRTS, in which a bean of electrons was shot towards a Phosphorescent screen at high speed and deflected by electric fields in order to direct the beam to the right place on the screen so that it would form the picture. In a typical television, the speed of the electrons is 1 x10^8 m/s. If the television set is placed so that the CRT beam is horizontal heading east in a place where the earths magnetic field is 5×10^-5 and points horizontally northward what will be the magnetic force on the electron?arrow_forwardAn evacuated tube uses an accelerating voltage of 55 kV to accelerate electrons to hit a copper plate and produce X-rays. Non-relativistically, what would be the maximum speed (in m/s) of these electrons?arrow_forwardAn electron (q=−1.602×10−19[C]) moves a distance d=2.50[m] in a linear accelerator under a uniform external electric field of magnitude E→=3.50×10^7[N/C].

- If electrons have kinetic energy of 2000 eV, find (a) their speed, (b) the time needed to traverse a distance of 5 cm between plates that our horizontal, and (c) the vertical component of their velocity after passing between the plates if the electric field is 3.33 x 10^3 V/m.arrow_forwardCalculate the speed of an electron (in m/s) after it accelerates from rest through a potential difference of 140 V. 7.02e25 m/s The speed of the electron v can be found using the kinetic energy equation, K = 1/2(mv^2). The change in kinetic energy is equal to the work done on the electron, K = W = -U = -qV. Using those two equations, solve for the speed v in terms of the potential V and constants.
