Question

of silicon with ions of phosphorus, cach of mass mp- 5.18 x1 kg. The phosphorus ions are doubly ionized, with each phosphorus ion lacking two electrons. The ions start at rest at one end of the vacuum chamber and are accelerated by an electric field over a distance of = 59 cm before they strike the silicon layer with velocity vr-185 ms Randomized Variables Assignment Status Click here for detailed view e 59 cm p 185 m/s 33% Part (a) Enter an expression for the potential difference V, in volts, between the initial and final points across the vacuum chamber.

Explanation / Answer

We know that,

W = q V => V = W/q

W = 1/2 m v^2 = 1/2 mp vp^2

V = 1/2 mp vp^2/q

Or

q = 2 e

V = 0.5 mp vp^2/2 e

b)V = 0.5 x 5.18 x 10^-26 x 185^2/2 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 2.77 x 10^-3 V

E = V/d = 2.77 x 10^-3/0.59 = 4.69 x 10^-3 V/m

Hence, E = 4.69 x 10^-3 V/m

c)Force = q E

F = 2 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 4.69 x 10^-3 = 1.5 x 10^-21 N

Hence, F = 1.5 x 10^-21 N
