What type of fields surround every proton?

A 'gravitational field' and an 'electric field' surrounds every proton.


What is the magnitude of the electric field due to a proton at a distance r NM?

The magnitude of the electric field is 2.5.


What is the magnitude of the electric field due to a proton at a distance r 0.5 nm?

The magnitude of the electric field is 2.5.


An electric field is directed from left to right A proton is placed within the field What does the proton feel as a result of the field and why?

The 'direction' of the electrostatic (E) field is defined as the direction of the force on a positive charge in the field. The proton carries a positive charge, so when immersed in the E field directed from left to right, there is a force on the proton directed toward the right, and if you let go of the proton, it will go shooting off to the right.


Does an electron accelerate greater than a proton in an electric field?

yes, it has less mass.


What subatomic particles have an electric field around it?

among such particles are electro , proton , positron , betatron an quarks.... APEX: Neutron


What happens if a free electron and a free proton are put into an electric field?

The proton will have greater acceleration. This is because the proton has a higher charge to mass ratio than the alpha particle. The proton has a +1 charge, as you know, and the alpha particle has a +2 charge because it has 2 protons in it. But the alpha particle also has a pair of neutrons fuesed to those 2 protons, so it has a 2 to 4 charge to mass ratio. The proton, with its 1 to 1 ratio of charge to mass, will have a greater acceleration in the same electric field.


A proton is in an electric field and has an electric potential energy of 0.5 J What is the electric potential voltage that it experiences?

First off you know that when it says "Proton" you should know that its a Positive (+) Charged subatomic particle! Now You use the equation that says --> Volt = Electric Potential Energy / Q Volt = 0.5 / +1 (proton) Volt = 0.5


Are electric fields exerted by protons?

Yes. The proton field is E = d/dr ezc/2r = -ezc/2r2 .


Force experienced by an electric field E is F N What will be the force on a proton in the same field. Take mass of the proton to be 1836 times mass of an electron?

Force experienced will be same in magnitude as that of electron but in opp direction i.e. F=qE.


Is an electric charge a proton?

No. Electric charges are generally electrons.


What is the the electric charge on a proton?

Positive
