One of the greatest physics experiments in history measured thecharge-to-mass ratio of an electron, q/m. If a uniform potentialdifference is created between two plates, atomized particles---eachwith an integral amount of charge---can be suspended in space. Theassumption is that the particles of unknown mass, M, contain a netnumber, n, of electrons of mass m and charge q. For a plateseparation of d, what is the potential difference necessary tosuspend a particle of mass M containing n net electrons? (Assumethat M » m. Use any variable or symbol stated above along with thefollowing as necessary: g.)
?V =
What is the acceleration of the particle if the voltage is cut inhalf? (Indicate an upward acceleration with a positive sign, and adownward acceleration with a negative sign. Use any variable orsymbol stated above along with the following as necessary:g.)
a =
What is the acceleration of the particle if the voltage is doubled(Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the followingas necessary: g.)
a =
