A hydrogen atom (with the Bohr radius of half an angstrom) is situated between two metal plates 1 mm apart, which are connected to opposite terminals of a 500 V battery. What fraction of the atomic radius does the separation distance d amount to, roughly? Estimate the voltage you would need with this apparatus to ionize the atom.

Suppose a capacitor consists of two coaxial thin cylindrical conductors. The inner cylinder of radius ra has a charge of +Q, while the outer cylinder of radius rh has charge -Q. srb The electric field E at a radial distance r from the central axis is given by the function: E = ge/d0 + B/r + bo where alpha (a)., beta (8), ao and bo are constants. Find an expression for its capacitance. First, let us derive the potential difference Voh between the two conductors. The potential difference is related to the electric field by: Edr = - Edr Calculating the antiderivative or indefinite integral, Vab = (-aageao + B + bo By definition, the capacitance Cis related to the charge and potential difference by: C = Evaluating with the upper and lower limits of integration for Vab, then simplifying: C = Q/( (e""b/ao - eTala0) + ß In ) + bo (

Consider the element Hydrogen. In this atom, assume the electron travels with a speed of 6.8 105 m/s. What is the radius between the nucleus and the orbiting electron in m?
It may be argued on theoretical grounds that the radius of the hydrogen atom should depend only on the fundamental constants h, e, the electrostatic force constant k = 1/4πℰ0, and m (the electron’s mass). Use dimensional analysis to show that the combination of these factors that yields a result with dimensions of length is h2kme2.
