- Two charges 2microcoulmb and-2microcoulmb are placed at A and8.5 apart depict equipotential surface of the system
- An alpha particle is accelerated through a potential difference of 2000v what will be the increase in energy in electron volt
- If one of the two electrons of a H2 molecule is removed, we get a hydrogen molecular ion
. In the ground state of an , the two protons are separated by roughly 1.5
, and the electron is roughly 1 from each proton. Determine the potential energy of the system. Specify your choice of the zero of potential energy.
- The plates of a parallel plate capacitor have an area of 90 cm2 each and are separated by 2.5 mm The capacitor is charged by connecting it to a 400 V supply How much electrostatic energy is stored by the capacitor? View this energy as stored in the electrostatic field between the plates, and obtain the energy per unit volume u. Hence arrive at a relation between u and the magnitude of electric field E between the plates.
