In this example we will analyze the motion of an electron that is released in an electric field. The terminals of a 100 V battery are connected to two large, parallel, horizontal plates 1.0 cm apart. The resulting charges on the plates produce an electric field Eβ in the region between the plates that is very nearly uniform and has magnitude E=3.0Γ104N/C. Suppose the lower plate has positive charge, so that the electric field is vertically upward, as shown in (Figure 1) . (The thin pink arrows represent the electric field.) If an electron is released from rest at the upper plate, what is its speed just before it reaches the lower plate? How much time is required for it to reach the lower plate? The mass of an electron is me=9.11Γ10β31kg.
SOLUTION
SET UP We place the origin of coordinates at the upper plate and take the +y direction to be downward, toward the lower plate. The electron has negative charge, q=βe, so the direction of the force on the electron is downward, opposite to the electric field. The field is uniform, so the force on the electron is constant. Thus the electron has constant acceleration, and we can use the constant-acceleration equation vy2=v0y2+2ayy. The electronβs initial velocity v0y is zero, so
vy2=2ayy.
SOLVE The force on the electron has only a y component, which is positive, and we can solve Eβ =Fβ β²/qβ² to find this component:
Fy==|q|E=(1.60Γ10β19C)(3.0Γ104N/C)4 .80Γ10β15N
Newtonβs second law then gives the electronβs acceleration:
ay=Fyme=4.80Γ10β15N9.11Γ10β31kg=+5. 27Γ1015m/s2
We want to find vy when y=0.010m. The equation for vy gives
vy==2ayyβββββ=2(5.27Γ1015m/s2)(0.01 0m)ββββββββββββββββββββββββ1.0Γ107m /s
Finally, vy=v0y+ayt gives the total travel time t:
t=vyβv0yay=5.9Γ106m/sβ01.76Γ1015m/s 2=1.9Γ10β9s
REFLECT The acceleration produced by the electric field is enormous; to give a 1000 kg car this acceleration, we would need a force of about 5Γ1018 N , or about 5Γ1014 tons. The effect of gravity is negligible. Note again that negative charges gain speed when they move in a direction opposite to the direction of the electric field.
QUESTION: In this example, suppose a proton (mp=1.67Γ10β27kg) is released from rest at the positive plate. What is its speed just before it reaches the negative plate?

Initially, a particle is moving at 5.33 m/s at an angle of 37.9Β° above the horizontal. two seconds later, its velocity is 6.11 m/s at an angle of 54.2Β° below the horizontal. what was the particle's average acceleration during these 2.00 seconds in the x-direction (enter first) and the y-direction?

First, launch the video below. you will be asked to use your knowledge of physics to predict the outcome of an experiment. then, close the video window and answer the question at right. you can watch the video again at any point. part a as in the video, we apply a charge +q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge Γ’β¬βq to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? view available hint(s) as in the video, we apply a charge + to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. this time, we also apply a charge Γ’β¬β to the other half-shell. when we bring the two halves together, we observe that the electroscope discharges, just as in the video. what does the electroscope needle do when you separate the two half-shells again? it deflects more than it did at the end of the video. it deflects the same amount as at end of the video. it does not deflect at all. it deflects less than it did at the end of the video. submit
