Answer:

The final size is nearly the same as the initial size because the increase in size is remarkably small

Solution:

According to the problem:

The proton beam energy is E = 250 GeV =

Distance traveled by the photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m

Proton mass,

Initial size of the wave packet,

Now,

This operates under relativistic principles

The rest mass energy for the proton is expressed as:

This proton energy is

Thus, the speed of the proton, v

The time to cover 1 km = 1000 m of distance is calculated as:

T =

T =

According to the dispersion factor;

Thus, the widening of the wave packet is relatively minor.

Hence, we can conclude that:

where

= final width

Answer:

Explanation:

The position of the charge q₁ is established at (0,0)

Meanwhile, the charge q₂ is located at (x₁,0)

Thus, the electric potential energy between these two charges is determined by:

Now, the location of charge q₂ shifts from (x₁,0) to (x₂,y₂). The updated electric potential energy between the charges can be represented as:

According to the work-energy theorem, the alteration in potential energy corresponds to the work performed. This is expressed mathematically as:

Consequently, the work done by the electrostatic force on the moving charge is . Therefore, this concludes the solution.

Response:

0.9 cm

Clarification:

The following illustrates the calculation of the combined rod's length increase:

As established

Length increase = expansion of aluminum rod + expansion of steel rod

= 0.9 cm

We simply summed the expansions of both the aluminum and steel rods to determine the overall increase in the joined rod's length, which must be factored in

Response:

Clarification:

Refer to the diagram indicating the charges on the specified sphere (see attachment).

The electric field at the stated positions is

E(r) = 0 for r≤a.  Equation 1

E(r) = kq/r² for a<r<b.   Equation 2

E(r) = 0 for b<r<c.      Equation 3

E(r) = kq/r² for r>c.    Equation 4.

We understand that electric potential correlates with the electric field through

V = Ed

A. To compute the potential at the outer surface of the hollow sphere (r=c), we determine that the electric field there is

E = kQ / r²

Then,

V = Ed,

At d = r = c

Thus,

Vc = (kQ / c²) × c

Vc = kQ / c

As a result, the total charge Q consists of +q, -q, and +q

Hence, Q = q - q + q = q

V = kq / c

B. To calculate the potential at the inner surface of the hollow sphere (r=b), we have

V = kQ/r

V = kQ / b,   noting that r = b

So, Q = q

V = kq / b

C. At r = a

Following from equation 1:

E(r) = 0 for r≤a.  Equation 1

The electric field at the surface of the solid sphere is 0, E = 0N/C

Thus,

V = Ed = 0 V

Consequently, the electric potential at the solid sphere's surface is 0.

D. At r = 0

The electric potential can be determined by

V = kq / r

As r approaches 0,

V = kq / 0

V approaches infinity.
