Electron and proton separation in a hydrogen atom

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating fundamental electrical properties related to hydrogen atoms and basic circuit elements. The electrical force between a hydrogen atom's electron and proton, separated by 5.3x10-13 meters, is a key focus. Additionally, participants explore the relationship between charge, electric potential, and capacitance, specifically calculating the charge of a particle and the voltage of a capacitor with given capacitance and charge. The forum emphasizes the importance of showing work in problem-solving, particularly in calculating current through an iron resistor with a specified voltage. Overall, the thread encourages collaborative learning through problem-solving in physics and electrical engineering concepts.

1) Hydrogen’s electron and proton are separated by 5.3x10-13 meters. What is the electrical force between them?


2) A charge moved .02 meters in an electric field of force 215 N/C. If the electric potential decreased by 6.9x10-19, what is the charge of the particle?


3) If a capacitor has 3.0x10-6 F of capacitance and holds 3.6x10-5 C of charge on each plate, what is the voltage of the battery connected to it?


4) Iron has a resistance of 19.0 Ohms. What is the current if the potential difference is 120 V?

You must show some attempt at a solution yourself before people can give you any assistance. That is the policy of this forum which is designed to help the student learn rather than just have their homework done for them.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
