    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...

    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?

    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

    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?

    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?

    What Did Millikan Discover About the Electron's Charge?

    The charged electron is 1.602*10^-19, right?? What are all the multiples of that and how would you find that?

    What is the force between the two point charges?

    5.7*10^-4N/2 = 2.85^-4N What have i done wrong?

    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??

    What is the force between the two point charges?

    The electrostatic force between two point charges is 5.7*10^-4N. The charge on one of the point charges triples and the distant between the points doubles. What is the force between the two point charges?
