Given Solution: The change in potential is final potential - initial potential = -55 V - (135 V) = -190 V, so the change in the potential energy of the proton is -190 V * 1.6 * 10^-19 C = -190 J / C * 1.6 * 10^-19 C = -3.0 * 10^-17 J. In the absence of dissipative forces this is equal and opposite to the change in the KE of the proton; i.e., the proton would gain 3.09 * 10^-17 J of kinetic energy. Change in potential energy is equal and opposite to the work done by the field on the charge, so the field does 3.0 * 10^-17 J of work on the charge. Since the charge of the proton is equal in magnitude to that of an electron, he work in electron volts would be 180 volts * charge of 1 electron= 180 eV. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `qQuery Principles and General Physics 17.8: Potential difference required to give He nucleus 65.0 keV of KE. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: 65keVolts is the same as 65*10^3eV. Once we have this, we 65.0 keV is 65.0 * 10^3 eV, or 6.50 * 10^4 eV, of energy. Since we know the charge will have to be 2e, we need to divide this number by two to get the change in voltage. This would be 3.4*10^4 volts. Confidence rating: 2

Given Solution: The charge on a He nucleus is +2 e, where e is the charge on an electron. So assuming no dissipative forces, for every volt of potential difference, the He nuclues would gain 2 eV of kinetic energy. To gain 6.50 * 10^4 eV of energy the voltage difference would therefore be half of 6.50 * 10^4 voles, or 3.35 * 10^4 volts. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `qQuery gen phy text problem 17.18 potential 2.5 * 10^-15 m from proton; PE of two protons at this separation in a nucleus. What is the electrostatic potential at a distance of 2.5 * 10^-15 meters? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your Solution: We need to use the equation v=k(q)/r K=9.0*10^9 R=2.5*10^-15 And q=1.60*10^-19 We use these to find voltage which would be about 6.0*10^5 V Once we have this it is easy to find KE which would just be KE=qv This would be 1.60*10^-19(6.0*10^5V)= 9.2*10^-13 Joules Confidence rating:

Given Solution: STUDENT SOLUTION: For a part, to determine the electric potential a distance fo 2.5810^-15m away from a proton, I simply used the equation V = k q / r for electric potential for point charge: q = 1.60*10^-19C=charge on proton V = kq/r = 9.0*10^9N*m^2/C^2(1.60*10^-19C) / (2.5*10^-15m) = 5.8*10^5V. Part B was the more difficult portion of the problem. You have to consider a system that consists of two protons 2.5*10^-5m apart. The work done against the electric field to assemble these charges is W = qV. The potential energy is equal to the work done against the field. PE=(1.60*10^-19C)(5.8*10^5V) = 9.2*10^-14 J. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I must have put a number in incorrectly to get ^-13 Joules.
