- 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_forwardAn electron is accelerating under a potential difference of 105 volts.

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_forward
