You are working in cooperation with the Public Health department to design an electrostatic trap for particles from auto emissions. The average particle enters the device and is exposed to ultraviolet radiation that knocks off electrons so that it has a charge of +3.0 X 10° C. This average particle is then moving at a speed of 900 mis and is 0.15 m from a very long negatively charged wire with a linear charge density of -8.0 x 10 Cm. The wire is perpendicular to the direction of ‘motion of the particle. The detector for the particle is located 70 mm in front of the wire. In order to design the proper kind of detector, your colleagues need to know the speed that an average emission particle will have if t hits the detector. ‘They tell you that an average emission particle has a mass of 6.0 X 10” kg. -6 ~ wire A= -FxIO Ci Initelly perkele her (2G = 4 must, @ partcle will be accelerates fonard OC) wire and will ein leinehe enersy ‘ gen 3 How much We can fad elect'e — potennal due te wire ond use BKE = WW = -g Van Elec potental antl Lecrease Gee Seemann | HiCe O herl lone on particle iy pesmee = +A 2 ‘ Bee: SR Ce night | Bracke bum tert) : aaa tal ce | fs) oe x wae (6), 2 2 a us x Be Ve Lal.
