Electric Field 1 - Ms

1. The velocity of an electron accelerated through a 1000 V potential difference in a uniform electric field can be calculated using the formula: Velocity = √(2 * Charge * Potential Difference / Mass). 2. An insulator is used to suspend a small conducting sphere near a charged larger sphere to demonstrate the electric field, because an insulator does not conduct electricity and allows the electric field to be observed without interference. 3. The diagram shows an electron deflection tube with an electron gun that uses thermionic emission to produce a beam of electrons. The electrons are accelerated from the hot filament to the positively charged anode, gaining kinetic energy and velocity.

ELECTRIC FIELD

1. What is the velocity of the electron after it has been accelerated though a
p.d. of 1000 V
in a uniform electric field?
Mass of electron = 9.11 x 10-31 kg
Charge of electron = 1.6 x 10-19 C

2. A teacher is demonstrating the electric field around a charged sphere. She


hangs a small conducting sphere from a nylon thread as shown.

(a) Nylon is an insulator.


Suggest why an insulator is used to suspend the sphere 1)
(b) Sketch the electric field around a positively charged sphere. (2)
3.
4.

Ans: B

5. The diagram shows the parts of an electron deflection tube.


(a) The electron gun consists of a hot metal filament and a positively charged
anode. Explain how this produces a beam of electrons. (2)
b) The potential difference between the hot metal filament and the anode is
2.1 kV.
Calculate the velocity of the electrons as they leave the electron gun. (3)
(c) The electron beam passes between plates across which a potential
difference has been applied. The electron beam is deflected, as shown in the
photograph.

On the diagram below, sketch the electric field between the plates. (2)

(d) A potential difference of 550 V is applied across the plates of another


deflection tube. The vertical separation of the plates is 5.0 cm.
(i) Show that the electrostatic force on an electron between the plates is about
2 × 10–15 N (3)
(ii) The electrons in the beam enter the region between the plates with a
horizontal velocity of 2.2 × 107 m s–1.
Determine the vertical deflection of the beam after travelling 10 cm horizontally
between the plates. (4)
6. A teacher states ‘the repulsive force between 1 C of charge on the ground and
1 C of charge on a 1000 kg mass is large enough to support the mass when it is
1 km above the ground’.
Determine whether the teacher is correct. (4)
7. A teacher is demonstrating the properties of an electron beam using an
electron deflection tube.

In the tube the path of a beam of electrons can be observed on a grid. The grid is
positioned between two metal plates with a potential difference (p.d.) across
them.
(a) Complete the diagram to show the electric field between the plates. (3)

(b) The electron beam undergoes a vertical deflection of 2.0 cm, after travelling a
horizontal distance of 8.0 cm.
Calculate the velocity with which the electrons entered the electric field. (5)
p.d. across plates = 1.50 kV
distance between plates = 5.0 cm
