A proton of mass mp is released from rest just above the lower plate and reaches the top plate with speed vp. An electron of mas

<span>You are presented with a circuit that includes a 6.0-v battery, a 4.0-ohm resistor, a 0.60 microfarad capacitor, an ammeter, and a switch all connected in series. Your task is to determine the current reading once the switch is closed. Ohm's law should be used, which states V = IR where V signifies voltage, I indicates current, and R represents resistance.</span>

V = IR
I = V/R
I = 6 volts / 4 ohms
I = 1.5A

Upon closing the switch, the cathode side plate starts accumulating electrons if it was previously empty. As this process continues, the current diminishes. Eventually, when the capacitor reaches its maximum electron retention, the current will cease. An increased capacitance means a greater capacity for electron storage.

Answer:

Explanation:

The distance between the electrodes is denoted as d.

The kinetic energy of the electron is represented as Ek when the electrodes are positioned at a distance of "d" apart.

Our goal is to determine the kinetic energy when they are separated by a distance of d/3.

K.E = ½mv²

It’s important to note that the mass remains constant; only velocity varies.

Additionally,

K.E = Work done by the electron

K.E = F × d

K.E = W = ma × d

Assuming constant acceleration

Hence, m and a are fixed,

therefore,

K.E is directly related to d

Thus, as d increases, K.E increases, and conversely, when d decreases, K.E decreases.

Consequently,

K.E_1 / d_1 = K.E_2 / d_2

With K.E_1 equating to E_k

and d_1 being d

while d_2 is represented as d/3

This leads to K.E_2 = K.E_1 / d_1 × d_2

Thus, K.E_2 = E_k × ⅓d / d

Finally,

K.E_2 = ⅓E_k

Therefore, the resultant kinetic energy is one third of the original E_k
