A proton is traveling horizontally to the right at 4.60*106 m/s. Part A Find (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the weakest electric field that can bring the proton uniformly to rest over a distance of 3.50 cm. Part C How much time does it take the proton to stop after entering the field? Part D What minimum field ((a) magnitude and (b) direction) would be needed to stop an electron under the conditions of part (a) ?

    u = 4.6 x 10^6 m/s

    Let E be the electric field

    s = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m

    v = 0

    a = qE / m

    So use third equation of motion

    v^2 = u^2 - 2 a s

    0 = (4.6 x 10^6) ^2 - 2 x q E / m x 0.035

    21.16 x 10^12 = 2 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x E / (1.67 x 10^-27 x 0.035)

    E = 3865 N/C

    (a) The magnitude of electric field is 3865 N/C

    (b) the direction of electric field is opposite to the direction of motion of proton, i. e., towards left.

    (c) Let t be the time taken

    v = u + a t

    0 = 4.6 x 10^6 - (1.6 x 10^-19 x 3865) t / (1.67 x 10^-27)

    t = 1.24 x 10^-5 sec

    (d) For electron, the direction of electric field is same the direction of electron, i. e., rightwards.

    Use third equation of motion

    v^2 = u^2 - 2 a s

    0 = (4.6 x 10^6) ^2 - 2 x q E / m x 0.035

    21.16 x 10^12 = 2 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x E / (9.1 x 10^-31 x 0.035)

    E = 2.1 N/C
