Question

Problem 2 15 An unknown element has a nucleus with charge 1.00e and a radius of about 1.40x10m. How much voltage must be used to accelerate a proton (radius 1.20x10m) so that is has sufficient energy to just penetrate the unknown element? Assume that the potential is that for point charges

Answer #1

Here Initial kinetic energy given to proton = increase in PE

qV = kq1q2/r

1.6e-19*V = 9e9*1.6e-19*1.6e-19/[1.4e-15 +1.2e-15]

V = 9e9*1.6e-19/[1.4e-15 +1.2e-15]

= 553846 V answer
