Question: `qQuery Principles and General Physics 17.4: work by field on proton from potential +135 V to potential -55 V.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your Solution:

You would solve this by finding final-initial potential and finding the work done. This would be -55V-135V which results in a final voltage of -190V. Then we find the change in potential energy by:

-190V*1.6*10^-19 which results in a potential of -3*10^-17J. This is the kinetic energy/the work done by the field.

Confidence rating: 2

.............................................

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.

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.

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.
