Two large metal plates are separated by 2.67 cm. One plate has a negative charge, and the other plate has a positive charge. The negative plate is heated until an electron barely comes loose from its surface. The electron then accelerates between the plates and strikes the positive plate moving at a speed of 1.32x107 m/s. What is the voltage between the plates

Respuesta :

Answer:

voltage between the plates is 4.952 × [tex]10^{-26}[/tex] V

Explanation:

given data

plate separated distance = 2.67 cm

electron speed = 1.32 × [tex]10^{7}[/tex]  m/s

solution

we will get here first force that is express as

force in parallel plate F = [tex]\frac{eV}{d}[/tex]   ..............1

and force by Newton second law F = ma   .............2

equate equation 1 and 2

ma = [tex]\frac{eV}{d}[/tex]    .................3

and here we know as kinematic equation

v²- u² = 2 × a × s    ...........4

so for initial speed acceleration will be

a = [tex]\frac{v^2-u^2}{2\times s}[/tex]  

a = [tex]\frac{(1.32 \times 10^7)^2}{2\times 2.67 \times 10^{-2}}[/tex]  

a = 3.262 × [tex]10^{-13}[/tex]  m/s²

now we put a in equation 3 and we get v

ma = [tex]\frac{eV}{d}[/tex]

9.1093 × [tex]10^{-31}[/tex] × 3.262 × [tex]10^{-13}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{1.602 \times 10^{-19} V}{2.67 \times 10^{-2}}[/tex]  

solve it we get

v = 4.952 × [tex]10^{-26}[/tex] V
