Charge in an Electric Field: A pair of charged conducting plates produces a uniform field of 12,000 N/C, directed to the right, between the plates. The separation of the plates is 40 mm. An electron is projected from plate A, directly toward plate B, with an initial speed of v0 = 2.0 × 107 m/s. What is the speed of the electron as it strikes plate B? (e = 1.6 × 10-19 C, melectron = 9.11 × 10-31 kg)

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on charge in electric field = q E , q is charge and E is electric field

= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 12000

= 19200 x 10⁻¹⁹ N

acceleration = force / mass

=  19200 x 10⁻¹⁹ / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹

a = 2109.9 x 10¹² m /s²

initial velocity of electron u = 2 x 10⁷ m /s

v² = u² + 2as  ( s is distance between plate , u is initial velocity )

v² = ( 2 x 10⁷)² + 2 x 2109.9 x 10¹² x 40 x 10⁻³

= 4 x 10¹⁴ + 1.68 x 10¹⁴

= 5.68 x 10¹⁴

v = 2.38 x 10⁷ m /s

The final velocity of the electron is required.

The final velocity of the electron is 15231546.21 m/s.

Electric field

E = Electric field = 12000 N/C

s = Distance between plates = 40 mm

u = Initial velocity = [tex]2\times 10^7\ \text{m/s}[/tex]

q = Charge of electron = [tex]-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ \text{C}[/tex]

m = Mass of electron = [tex]9.11\times 10^{-31}\ \text{kg}[/tex]

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration

The force balance of the system is given by

[tex]ma=qE\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{qE}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 12000}{9.11\times 10^{-31}}\\\Rightarrow a=-2.11\times 10^{15}\ \text{m/s}^2[/tex]

From the kinematic equations we have

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times (-2.1\times 10^{15})\times 40\times 10^{-3}+(2\times 10^7)^2}\\\Rightarrow v=15231546.21\ \text{m/s}[/tex]
