Walker, Halliday & Resnick β Electric Fields: Problem 60
60 An alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium atom) has a mass of \( 6.64 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg} \) and a charge of \( +2e \). What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the electric field that will balance the gravitational force on the particle? (c) If the field magnitude is then doubled, what is the magnitude of the particle's acceleration?
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) magnitude and; (b) direction of the electric field that will balance the gravit; (c) If the field magnitude is then doubled
