  1. The charge on a carbon nucleus is +6e, the charge on a proton is +e and the charge on an electron is –e. The elementary charge, e, is given in the inside front cover of your textbook. Suppose that at some place inside the Sun a carbon nucleus, an electron

and a proton lie in a line with the electron in the middle and the carbon nucleus

and the proton each 5.00X10-11 meters away from it. What is the ratio of

the magnitude of the electrostatic force of the carbon nucleus on the electron to

the magnitude of the electrostatic force of the electron on the carbon nucleus?

  1. What is the ratio of the magnitude of the electrostatic force of the electron in (1)

on the carbon nucleus to the magnitude of its electrostatic force on the proton?

  1. What is the magnitude of the resultant force on the proton in (1) due to

the electron and the carbon nucleus?

  1. In what direction does the resultant force in (3) point?

This is Problem 4.53 from John Taylor Classical Mechanics (a) Consider an electron (charge -e and mass m) in a circular orbit of radius r around a fixed proton (charge +e). Remembering that the inward Coulomb force ke²/r² is what gives the electron its centripetal acceleration, prove that the electron's KE is equal to -1/2 times its PE; that is, T = -1/2 U and hence E = 1/2 U. Now consider the following inelastic collision of an electron with...

Consider the following apparatus for measuring the charge per mass (q/m) ratio of the proton. This apparatus employs the same physics as in mass spectrometers. It consists of a pair of plates that accelerate a beam of protons starting from rest at the left-most plate to a speed of 1 x 107 m/s, followed by a velocity selector set to only pass this speed, and a final set of deflector plates. (a) The left side of the accelerator plate is...
