The positive and negative plates of a parallel-plate capacitor have an area of 1.05 cm by 1.05 cm. Their surface charge densities are +1.00×10-6 C/m2 and -1.00×10-6 C/m2, respectively. A proton moving parallel to the plates enters the middle of the space between them at a speed of 1.15×106 m/s. Assuming the field outside the capacitor is 0 and the field inside is uniform, how far to the side will the proton's path have deviated when it gets to the far end of the capacitor?

what does the lower case 'e' stand for, in the above equation?

To determine how far the proton's path will deviate when it reaches the far end of the capacitor, we need to calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric force acting on the proton.

Step 1: Calculate the electric field between the plates.
The electric field between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by the formula:
E = σ / (ε₀),

where E is the electric field, σ is the surface charge density, and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (ε₀ ≈ 8.85×10^-12 C^2/(N·m^2)).

Given that the positive plate has a surface charge density of +1.00×10^-6 C/m² and the negative plate has a surface charge density of -1.00×10^-6 C/m², the electric field between the plates is:
E = (1.00×10^-6 C/m² - (-1.00×10^-6 C/m²)) / (8.85×10^-12 C^2/(N·m^2))
= 2.00×10^6 N/C.

Step 2: Calculate the force on the proton.
The force on a charged particle moving in an electric field is given by the formula:
F = qE,

where F is the force, q is the charge, and E is the electric field.

Given that the charge of a proton is q = 1.60×10^-19 C and the electric field is E = 2.00×10^6 N/C, the force on the proton is:
F = (1.60×10^-19 C)(2.00×10^6 N/C)
= 3.20×10^-13 N.

Step 3: Calculate the acceleration of the proton.
The acceleration of an object is given by the formula:
a = F / m,

where a is the acceleration, F is the force, and m is the mass of the object.

The mass of a proton is m = 1.67×10^-27 kg, so the acceleration of the proton is:
a = (3.20×10^-13 N) / (1.67×10^-27 kg)
≈ 1.92×10^14 m/s².

Step 4: Calculate the distance the proton is displaced.
The distance an object is displaced is given by the formula:
d = (1/2)at²,

where d is the distance, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

In this case, the proton is not accelerated for a specific time but we can still use this formula to find the displacement.

The proton's initial velocity is v₀ = 1.15×10^6 m/s.
The time it takes to reach the far end is determined by the distance it travels across the plate.
Since the plates are 1.05 cm (or 0.0105 m) wide, the time it takes to cross the plates is determined by the speed and width:
t = distance / speed
= 0.0105 m / 1.15×10^6 m/s
≈ 9.13×10^-9 s.

Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
d = (1/2)(1.92×10^14 m/s²)(9.13×10^-9 s)²
≈ 7.85×10^-17 m.

Therefore, the proton's path will be deviated by approximately 7.85×10^-17 m to the side when it reaches the far end of the capacitor.

To solve this problem, we can use the principles of electrostatics and the equations for the motion of a charged particle in a uniform electric field.

The first step is to calculate the electric field between the plates of the capacitor. The electric field is given by the formula:

E = σ / ε₀

where E is the electric field, σ is the surface charge density, and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/N m²).

In this case, the positive plate has a +1.00 x 10⁻⁶ C/m² charge density, and the negative plate has a -1.00 x 10⁻⁶ C/m² charge density. Since the electric field is zero outside the capacitor, the electric field between the plates is also the same magnitude but opposite direction.

So, the magnitude of the electric field between the plates is:

E = σ / ε₀ = (1.00 x 10⁻⁶ C/m²) / (8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/N m²)

Next, we can find the force experienced by the proton due to the electric field. The force experienced by a charged particle in an electric field is given by the equation:

F = q * E

where F is the force, q is the charge of the particle, and E is the electric field.

In this case, the charge of the proton is +1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C, and the electric field between the plates is a uniform field.

Now, we can find the acceleration experienced by the proton using Newton's second law:

F = m * a

where F is the force, m is the mass of the proton (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg), and a is the acceleration.

The force experienced by the proton is due to the electric field between the plates, so we can substitute the force expression into the second law equation:

q * E = m * a

Solving for acceleration, we have:

a = (q * E) / m

Finally, we can use the equations of motion for uniformly accelerated motion to find the distance the proton will deviate from its original path.

The displacement of an object in uniformly accelerated motion is given by the equation:

d = v₀ * t + 0.5 * a * t²

where d is the displacement, v₀ is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration.

In this case, the initial velocity of the proton is given as 1.15 x 10⁶ m/s, and we need to find the displacement when it reaches the far end of the capacitor. We can assume the time taken to reach the far end is t.

Now, substituting the values into the equation, we have:

d = (1.15 x 10⁶ m/s) * t + 0.5 * a * t²

Using the calculated value of acceleration, we can solve for the displacement.

With these steps, you can calculate the distance to the side that the proton's path will have deviated when it gets to the far end of the capacitor.
