Why is an alpha particle attracted to a negative plate?
An alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons, giving it a positive charge. As opposite charges attract, the positive charge of the alpha particle is attracted to the negative charge of the plate.
What is the charge of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has a charge of 2, which means it is positively charged.
Alpha particle charge?
The alpha particle has a charge of +2e, where e is the elementary charge of a proton. This means the alpha particle has a positive charge of twice the charge of a single proton.
What is the electrical charge of an alpha particle?
The electric charge of an alpha particle is positive. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus (which being a nucleus has a positive charge)
In which case does an electric field do positive work on a charged particle?
An electric field does positive work on a charged particle when the direction of the electric field is the same as the direction of the particle's movement.
Why is an alpha particle attracted to a negative plate?
An alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons, giving it a positive charge. As opposite charges attract, the positive charge of the alpha particle is attracted to the negative charge of the plate.
Are alpha particle negative or positive?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus; it has a charge of +2.
Is an alpha a particle or a wave?
Beta is a particle. In beta- it is an electron and an electron antineutrino. In beta+ it is a positron and an electron neutrino.
What is the charge of an alpha particle?
An alpha particle has a charge of 2, which means it is positively charged.
What happens to a positively-charged alpha particle that comes near the positively charged nucleus?
This particle is rejected.
Alpha particle charge?
The alpha particle has a charge of +2e, where e is the elementary charge of a proton. This means the alpha particle has a positive charge of twice the charge of a single proton.
What is the electrical charge of an alpha particle?
The electric charge of an alpha particle is positive. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus (which being a nucleus has a positive charge)
The radioactive particle that is positively charged and has two protons and two neutrons is the?
An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
What happens to a positively-charged alpha particles that comes the positively-charged nucleus?
It will repel
What happens when the positively charged alpha particle directly hits the positively charged nuckeus?
When a positively charged alpha particle collides with a positively charged nucleus, they experience a strong repulsive force due to their like charges. This repulsion can prevent the alpha particle from penetrating the nucleus. If the energy of the alpha particle is sufficiently high, it may overcome the Coulomb barrier and interact with the nucleus, potentially leading to nuclear reactions such as fusion or scattering. However, under normal circumstances, the alpha particle will simply be deflected away from the nucleus.
Chances of the alpha particle directly hitting the nucleus?
An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, and as such it has 2 protons and 2 neutrons and no electrons. Thus, it is positively charged. This makes it very unlikely that it will hit the nucleus which is also positively charged and will repel the alpha particle. The only way to get the alpha particle to hit the nucleus is to accelerate it to very high speeds.
Does a beta particle have a zero charge?
The particle that carries the positive charge (a proton) is much more massive than the particle that carries the negative charge (an electron) The charges are equal in magnitude though of opposite polarity.
