An electron with velocity v = 1.0 ´ 106 m/s is sent between the plates of a capacitor where the electric field is E = 500 V/m. If the distance the electron travels through the field is 1.0 cm, how far is it deviated (Y) in its path when it emerges from the electric field? (me = 9.1 ´ 10 - 31 kg, e = 1.6 ´ 10 - 19 C)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The deviation in path is [tex]4.39 \times 10^{-3}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity [tex]v = 1 \times 10^{6}[/tex] [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Electric field [tex]E = 500[/tex] [tex]\frac{V}{m}[/tex]

Distance [tex]x = 1 \times 10^{-2}[/tex] m

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

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

Time taken to travel distance,

    [tex]t = \frac{x}{v}[/tex]

    [tex]t = \frac{1 \times 10^{-2} }{1 \times 10^{6} }[/tex]

    [tex]t = 10^{-8}[/tex] sec

Acceleration is given by,

  [tex]F = qE[/tex]

[tex]ma = qE[/tex]

   [tex]a = \frac{qE}{m}[/tex]

   [tex]a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 500}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} }[/tex]

   [tex]a = 8.77 \times 10^{13}[/tex] [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]

For finding the distance, we use kinematics equations.

   [tex]y = vt + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}[/tex]

Where [tex]v = 0[/tex] because here initial velocity zero

   [tex]y = \frac{1}{2} at^{2}[/tex]

   [tex]y = \frac{1}{2} \times 8.77 \times 10^{13 } \times (10^{-2} )^{2}[/tex]

   [tex]y = 4.39 \times 10^{-3}[/tex] m

Therefore, the deviation in path is [tex]4.39 \times 10^{-3}[/tex]
