Photoelectric Effect: Max Current, Cutoff Potential, Kinetic Energy
What is the relationship between the maximum electric current and the intensity of incident light? -are the inversely proportional? What colour has the larges cutoff potential? -is it yellow? Is cutoff potential effected for violet light? -no? How do you calulate maximum kinetic...- marshall4

Find the final speed of an electron
Find the final speed of an electron, starting from rest, passing between two parallel plates with a potential difference of 5000V. m=9.1*10^-31kg q=1.6*10^-19C v=sqr root of [2(1.6*10^-19)(5000)]/9.1*10^-31 = 4.2*10^7 m/s Is this answer valid, why?- marshall4

Electric Field at Point C: A to B & B to C
If i try this E = \lim_{q-->0} \frac{F}{q} i will get E = \lim_{q-->0} \frac{F(x+q)-F(x)}{q} , i don't kow that the numbers are? I don't think i got the step before this- marshall4

Electric Field at Point C: A to B & B to C
This is what i did Fe=[(9.0*10^9)(2.5*10^10-5)(3.7*10^-70]/(.25)^2 =1.332 E = F/q , but i don't know that charge at C Is that what i do? Or what did i do wrong PS. Is there some kind of software that i can get so i don't have to keep using ^ for exponents?- marshall4

Electric Field at Point C: A to B & B to C
When i use the formula F_{AB} = k\frac{Q_1 Q_2}{r^2} Do i multiply that negative sign in the equation for a negative charge?- marshall4

Electric Field at Point C: A to B & B to C
How did you figue out F_{AB} = k\frac{Q_1 Q_2}{r^2} = 6.796 * 10^{21} k=9.0*10^9 q1= 2.5*10^-5 C q2=-3.7*10^-7 C r=0.35m With those numbers i got -0.6795 N What did i do wrong? Also, can this problem be solved by finding electric fields separately and then adding them??- marshall4
