An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 107 m/s to 4.0 × 107 m/s over a distance of 1.9 cm. You may want to review (Pages 646 - 648) . Part A What is the electric field strength?

Answer:

[tex]1.8\times 105 N/C[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given that

[tex]u=2\times 10^7 m/s[/tex]

[tex]v=4\times 10^7 m/s[/tex]

d=1.9 cm=[tex]\frac{1.9}{100}=0.019 m[/tex]

Using 1m=100 cm

We have to find the electric field strength.

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex](4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2a(0.019)[/tex]

[tex]16\times 10^{14}-4\times 10^{14}=0.038a[/tex]

[tex]0.038a=12\times 10^{14}[/tex]

[tex]a=\frac{12}{0.038}\times 10^{14}=3.16\times 10^{16}m/s^2[/tex]

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

Mass of electron,m[tex]=9.1\times 10^{-31} kg[/tex]

[tex]E=\frac{ma}{q}[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 3.16\times 10^{16}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}[/tex]

[tex]E=1.8\times 105 N/C[/tex]
