Integrated Concepts Particles called muons exist in cosmic rays and can be created in particle accelerators. Muons are very similar to electrons, having the same charge and spin, but they have a mass 207 times greater. When muons are captured by an atom, they orbit just like an electron but with a smaller radius, since the mass in aB=h242mekqe2=0.5291010m is 207 me. (a)Calculate the radius of the n=1 orbit for a muon in a uranium ion (Z=92). (b) Compare this with the 7.5-fm radius of a uranium nucleus. Note that since the muon orbits inside the electron, it falls into a hydrogen-like orbit. Since your answer is less than the radius of the nucleus, you can see that the photons emitted as the muon falls into its lowest orbit can give information about the nucleus.
In Millikan's oil-drop experiment, one looks at a small oil drop held motionless between two plates. Take the voltage between the plates to be 2033 V, and the plate separation to be 2.00 cm. The oil drop (of density 0.81 g/cm3) has a diameter of 4.0106 m. Find the charge on the drop, in terms of electron units.
Integrated Concepts In a Millikan oil-drop experiment using a setup like that in Figure 30.9, a 500-V potential difference is applied to plates separated by 2.50 cm. (a) What is the mass of an oil drop having two extra electrons that is suspended motionless by the field between the plates? (b) What is the diameter of the drop, assuming it is a sphere with the density of olive oil?
In 1911, Ernest Rutherford and his assistants Geiger and Marsden conducted an experiment in which they scattered alpha particles (nuclei of helium atoms) from thin sheets of gold. An alpha particle, having charge +2e and mass 6.64 10-27 kg, is a product of certain radioactive decay's. The results of the experiment led Rutherford to the idea that most of an atoms mass is in a very small nucleus, with electrons in orbit around it. (This is the planetary model of the atom, which well study in Chapter 42.) Assume an alpha particle, initially very far from a stationary gold nucleus, is fired with a velocity of 2.00 107 m/s directly toward the nucleus (charge +79e). What is the smallest distance between the alpha particle and the nucleus before the alpha particle reverses direction? Assume the gold nucleus remains stationary.

Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding electric charges? O a. Electric charges are conserved O b. Electric charges are quantized O. A neutral atom contains equal more positive charges than negative charges Od. The S.I. unit for electric charge is Coulomb
Coulomb's law describes the force between two charges. We have written it as follows: FE Q-9 = kcqQ roa 2 (1) In various textbooks you will see this written in other ways: for example F=k F1 on 2 22. k992 = (2) (3) A. For the expression (1) explain what each of the terms in the equation means and what they tell you about the electric force between two charges. B. Expressions (2) and (3) differ in various ways from expression (1). Explain some of these differences (at least one for each) saying what information is represented differently (or not represented) compared to (1). What do the vertical bars mean in expression (3)? C. Electric forces satisfy Newton's third law. Explain how this information is coded into expression (1). D. In the problem Analyzing dipoles, we discovered that the force between a single charge and a dipole doesn't behave like 1/r², but falls off like 1/r³ at long distances. Does this mean that Coulomb's law doesn't hold? When can we use it and when can we not use…
