The electron is perhaps the most fundamental carrier of electric charge. Unlike the proton which is made up of quarks, the electron is a type of particle that is known as a "lepton", which so far particle physics has not discovered anything else that makes it up....
The expression for the total energy of an electron is given by the formula; {eq}E = \dfrac {1}{\sqrt { 1 - \frac {v^2}{c^2} } } m_0c^2 {/eq} wherein, {eq}m_0 {/eq} is the rest mass of the electron, v is the veloc...
A proton (with a rest mass m=1.67*10^{27}kg) has a total energy that is 4.00 times its rest energy. What is the magnitude of the momentum p of the proton? A. Find the rest energy of a proton in units of electron volts. B. If the total...
Energy: Atoms absorb and lose energy. Generally, it's the electrons that absorb and lose energy. The energy absorbed by an electron in the first energy level making it jump up to the next energy level is 10.2 electron-volts (eV).
TheBohr modelis no longer thought to be accurate, particularly as it pertains to how the electrons orbit the nucleus. While the model can still be useful in understanding the basics of electron distribution and different energy levels, it fails to consider the complexity of that distribution and...
We call the energy gap between conduction and valence as forbidden energy gap. The forbidden energy gap of silicon is 1.1 eV and same for germanium is 0.7 eV. As the forbidden energy gap is quite moderate, an electron in valence band requires a small energy to cross the forbidden energy ga...
In a fusion of fashion and gaming, Opera GX unveils its latest collaboration with award-winning fashion designer Hed Mayner by launching a gigantic PC Purse to fit an entire gaming PC. Hed Mayner is known for his oversized silhouettes […] Categories: Opera Gaming Opera GX Tags: gaming ...
The total energy of an electron is calculated if we know its speed. The below expression best explains the total energy of an electron. E=γmc2 Where, The relativistic factor is γ m shows the mass of the electron, and c is the speed of light ...
The potential energy is the work required to move a positive charge in the presence of an electric field. This potential energy per unit test charge is defined as the voltage. The voltage is also known as the potential difference between the two points. The potential energy is one form of ...
One additional cause of the Enron collapse was mark-to-market accounting. Mark-to-market accounting is a method of evaluating a long-term contract using fair market value. At any point, the long-term contract or asset could fluctuate in value; in this case, the reporting company would simply...
