Example 25.1: A proton, of mass 1.67× Kg, enters the region between two parallel plates a distance 20 cm apart. There is a uniform electric field of 3 × 10 5 V/m between the plate, as shown in Fig25.6 If the initial speed of the proton is 5 × 10 6 m/s, what is its final speed?

Example 25.2:Three point charges q 1 =1 μ C, q 2 =-2 μ C, and q3=3 μ C are fixed at the positions shown in Fig a (a) What is the potential at point p at the corner of the rectangle? (b) How much work would be needed bring a charge q 4 =2.5 μ C from infinite and to place it at p? (c) What is the total potential energy of q 1,q 2 and q 3 ?

EXAMPLE 25.3: In 1913, Niels Bohr proposed a model of the hydrogen atom in which an electron orbit a stationary proton in a circular path. Find the total mechanical energy of the electron given that the radius of the orbit is 0.53 × m

Example 25.4:The potential due to a point charge is given by V=kQ/r. Find: (a) the radial component of the electric field; (b) the x component of the electric field.
