1) Consider the figure below. An electron is fired towards a conducting plate from a distance L. The
plate has a surface charge density and a radius that is much greater than the distance L. When
the electron strikes the plate, it is measured that AK. E. = 10 eV, where AK.E.= Tf - To is the
difference between the electron's final kinetic energy and initial kinetic energy. Using a co-
ordinate system with the origin placed at the initial position of the electron:
a)
Draw a diagram of the configuration including the co-ordinate system you have chosen
b) Write the integral equation for the work done on the electron when moving from it's initial
position to an arbitrary final position, x
c) Write the integral equation for the potential difference of the system for a path that begins at
the electron's initial position and ends at an arbitrary position, x.
d) Determine the equation for the potential difference between the initial position of the electron
and an arbitrary position, x.

- A close analogy exists between the flow of energy by heat because of a temperature difference (see Section 19.6) and the flow of electric charge because of a potential difference. In a metal, energy dQ and electrical charge dq are both transported by free electrons. Consequently, a good electrical conductor is usually a good thermal conductor as well. Consider a thin conducting slab of thickness dx, area A, and electrical conductivity , with a potential difference dV between opposite faces.

Living cells "pump" singly ionized sodium ions, Na+, from the inside of the cell to the outside across the membrane potential AVmembrane = Vin - Vout= -70 mV. It is called pumping because work must be done to move a positive ion from the negative inside of the cell to the positive outside, and it must go on continuously because sodium ions "leak" back through the cell wall by diffusion. a. How much work must be done to move one sodium ion from the inside of the cell to the outside? b. At rest, the human body uses energy at the rate of approximately 100 W to maintain basic metabolic functions.
