What is an electron composed of?

An electron is a fundamental particle that is considered to be an elementary particle, meaning it is not made up of smaller components. It is a negatively charged subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom.


Is there any fundamental particle inside an electron?

A fundamental particle (elementary particle) is one that is not made up of other particles. An electron is a good example of a fundamental particle. On the other hand, protons and neutrons are not fundamental particles. They are made up of fundamental particles called quarks (two up and one down for the proton, and two down and one up for the neutron).Assuming electron as fundamental particle,what is it's primary ,in order to sense it's environment?


What is the relationship between the wave function and the particle in a box?

In quantum mechanics, the wave function describes the probability of finding a particle in a certain location. In the case of a particle in a box, the wave function represents the possible energy states of the particle confined within the boundaries of the box. The shape of the wave function inside the box determines the allowed energy levels for the particle.


How is a charged particle accelerated when the electric field inside the dees of a cyclotron is zero?

In a cyclotron, the charged particle is accelerated by the oscillating electric field between the dees. When the particle enters the gap between the dees, the electric field is zero, but a magnetic field causes the particle to rotate in a circular path and gain energy each time it crosses the gap due to its velocity being increased by the electric field before entering the gap.


What is the scientific principle behind particle accelators?

particle accelerators work by accelerating a charged particle in a magnetic field where the lines of magnetic flux are such that the particle is accelerated into a circular path. This is so that the force produced by such a motion and magnetic field is perpendicular to both the lines of magnetic flux and the velocity of the particle. The stronger the magnetic field and the faster the particle is moving, the more of a force is required (i.e stronger magnetic field) to keep the particle accelerating. Only a charged particle is affected by a magnetic field so only charged particles can be used inside a particle accelerators (i.e protons and electrons.) neutrons have a charge of zero and are not affected by magnetic fields.

When an unstable nucleus emits a beta particle is the atomic number increased by one unit?

Yes. When an atom emits a Bita particle, actually its the degradation of a neutral particle, i.e a neutron, which forms a proton and an electron. Since no electron can exist inside a nucleus, so it is emitted out as a bita particle, but the proton stays inside the nucleus, thereby increasing its atomic number by 1.


What is the net electrostatic force acting on a charged particle located inside a shell of uniform charge?

The net electrostatic force acting on a charged particle located inside a shell of uniform charge is zero. This is because the electric field inside a uniformly charged shell is zero, meaning there are no forces acting on the charged particle from the shell itself.
