Question 6:
II)
• Given: Number of excess electrons (N) = 8, Charge of an electron (e) = - 1.6 x 10-19 C
• Formula: Net charge (Q) = Number of electrons (N) x Charge of an electron (e)
• Given: Force on the oil drop (F) = 6.12 x 10-13 N, Net charge on the oil drop (Q) = 1.28 x 10-18 C
• Formula: Electric field intensity (E) = Force (F) / |Net charge (Q)|
• Given: Electric field intensity (E) = 4.78 x 105 N/C, Distance between plates (d) = 7.4 mm = 7.4
x 10-3 m
• Formula: Potential difference (V) = Electric field intensity (E) x Distance (d)
2)
a) E = F / Q
b) Q = N.E
c) Number of missed electrons = 5 electrons (because, the number of positive charges equals to the
number of missed electrons)
3) The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the charge (Q) stored on one plate to
the potential difference (V) between the plates. In equation form: C = Q / V
4)
b) What is the strength of the electric field between the plates of the capacitor?
• Given: Voltage (V) = 120 V, Distance between plates (d) = 0.25 cm = 0.0025 m
c) An electron is placed between the plates of the capacitor, as in figure below. Calculate the force
exerted on that electron? Compare the direction of the force to the direction of electric field?
• Given: Electric field intensity (E) = 48000 V/m, Charge of an electron (e) = 1.6 x 10-19 C
The direction of the force on the electron is opposite to the direction of the electric field. This is
because the electron is negatively charged, and the electric field points from the positive plate to
the negative plate. Therefore, the force on the electron will be in the opposite direction, towards the
positive plate.
