Free webinar on Robotics (Block Chain) Learn to create a Robotic Device Using Arduino
30th Jan @ 5:00PM for Grade 1 to 10
Electric fields can be used to pull electrons out of metals. To remove an electron from tungsten, the electric field must do 4.5 eV of work. Suppose that the distance over which the electric field acts is 3.4 nm. Calculate the minimum force that the field must exert on the electron being removed. Electric fields can be used to pull electrons out of metals. To remove an electron from tungsten, the electric field must do 4.5 eV of work. Suppose that the distance over which the electric field acts is 3.4 nm. Calculate the minimum force that the field must exert on the electron being removed.
We have to find out the minimum force (F) that the field must exert on the electron being removed.To obtain the minimum force (F), substitute 4.5 eV for W and 3.4 nm for s in the equation F = W/s,F = W/s = (4.5 eV/3.4 nm) = (4.5 eV/3.4 nm) (1.6×10-19 J/1 eV) (1 nm/10-9 m) = 2.1×10 -10 J/m= 2.1×10 -10 N …… (3)From equation (3) we observed that, the minimum force (F) that the field must exert on the electron being removed would be 2.1×10 -10 N.
