A point charge of 7.57*10^-6C and mass 68.7*10^-6 kg is uniform electric feild of 474 N/C i Released from rest, the charges is accelerated by the field obtaining a velocity of 74.6 m/s i. over what distance did the change its speed?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

charge, q = 7.57 * 10-6 C

mass, m = 68.7 * 10-6 kg

electric field, E = 474 N/C

initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

final velocity, v = 74.6 m/s

 

Step 2

Force acting on the point charge in the electric field is given as,

 F = E q

 F = 474 N/C * 7.57 * 10-6 C

            F = 3.588 * 10-3 N

From Newton's second law, we have : F = ma 

Therefore, the acceleration of the point charge, a = F/m

            a = 3.588 * 10-3 N / 68.7 * 10-6 kg 

             a = 52.23 m/s2
