s In the microscopic view of electrical conduction in a copper wire, electrons are accelerated by an electricfield and then collide with metal atoms after traveling about3.9 * 10-8m. If an electron begins from rest and is accelerated bya field of 0.065 N>C, what is its speed when it collides with a metalatom?
A proton is accelerated horizontally from rest by a voltage U 1 = 1.0 kV and enters a homogeneous electric field between two parallel and electrically charged plates. The voltage between the plates is U2 = 4.0 kV and the distance between them is 10 cm. We disregard all forces other than the electric power.
a) Calculate the starting velocity of the proton and describe the motion that the proton gets when it enters the electric field between the plate.
b) Calculate out the stretch as the proton will move horizontally before hitting one of the plates.
The electrodes of a two-electrode lamp (diode) are filament-shapedradius R1 = 0.1 mm (cathode) and a cylinder coaxial with it with radius R2 = 2 mm (anode). Voltage U = 100 V is applied to the electrodes.Find the force F that the electron will experience when it is at a point 1 mm from the cathode axis.
