What is the difference between an antiproton and an electron?
[An anti-proton is the "dark side" to a proton. An anti-proton is formed when a proton was accelerated and then his something solid, breaking it apart. An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle.] This is somewhat correct, but my understanding is that A proton is a structure of Two Up quarks (uu) and a Down quark (d) and a positron, or anti-electron. an antiproton has the same mass as a proton, and instead is made of two U-Bar Antiquarks and one D-bar antiquark, and an electron. I am not sure if this is completely correct, but if a proton and a antiproton, sometimes called a negiton, are combined they will Annihilate each other, creating a burst of energy. Quantum physics is a wierd science, so I could be very wrong indeed.
What happens to potential energy when a proton is brought closer to an electron?
Protons all have positive charge, so they repel each other. It takes work to push two protons closer together, so you're putting energy into them (potential energy increases). If you let go, the potential energy is released when the protons fly apart; it becomes kinetic energy.
How is a cyclotron used to treat patients?
A cyclotron is used to accelerate protons, which are used in the medical treatment of patients prescribed this form of therapy. It is an accelerated proton source. Proton therapy is gaining in use, but as it takes a cyclotron, which is a nuclear particle accelerator, to provide the accelerated protons, it costs a small fortune to set up a treatment center. The treatment begins with winding up the beast to gather and accelerate the protons (which is where the cyclotron comes in), and then the direction of the particle stream through appropriate (highly evacuated) plumbing to a treatment room. There, a patient is set up in front of the "business end" of the proton "gun" and positioned appropriately to administer the dose or radiation. Look below and check the links to related questions and to websites with related material.
If a proton moved from 0 V potential to 5 V potential would its potential energy increase or decrease?
Electric field points from high potential to low potential. Positive particles had tendency to follow electric field. If you are moving the particle against this tendency you are doing work, and this work give more potential energy to the particle.
What is the difference between proton and 13C for NMR?
Proton is an elementary particle (hydrogen nucleus) with the mass of approx. 1. Carbon-13 is a carbon natural isotope with the mass of approx. 13.
What is the amount of energy gained by a proton accelerated through a potential difference of 50 V?
The charge of proton 'e' is 1.602 x 10--19 C. If it is subjected to a potential difference of 50 V, then the electrostatic potential energy gained by that proton will be 50 eV. To get the energy in joule, replace 'e' by 1.602 x 10 --19. Then, the required value is 8.01x10 --19 J eV is the unit of energy which will be more convenient while dealing with very very small amount of energy. 1 eV = 1.602 x 10 --19 J
What facilitates the movement of K plus into epidermal cells of the root?
passage through selective channels, aided by the membrane potential created by proton pumps.
Is an alpha particle and a proton released from the centre of the cycltron and made to accelerated at the same cyclotron frequency?
the alpha particle will accelerate slower and follow a tighter/smaller spiral outward than the proton.
The mass of the parts is always the mass of the whole when looking at nuclear masses?
No. The nuclear attraction is so strong that there is a lot of (potential) energy involved; so if you join particles (like, a proton and a neutron), there will be a significant difference of energy, and therefore of mass. Usually less than 1%, but quite noticeable.No. The nuclear attraction is so strong that there is a lot of (potential) energy involved; so if you join particles (like, a proton and a neutron), there will be a significant difference of energy, and therefore of mass.

Find the electric potential 3.00 cm from a proton?

A proton is in an electric field and has an electric potential energy of 0.5 J What is the electric potential voltage that it experiences?
First off you know that when it says "Proton" you should know that its a Positive (+) Charged subatomic particle! Now You use the equation that says --> Volt = Electric Potential Energy / Q Volt = 0.5 / +1 (proton) Volt = 0.5
What is difference between proton and positive charge?
There is no difference, they are one the same. A proton has a positive charge and a positive charge is a proton. Of course with the positive charge, it's simply having more protons than electrons.
What is the difference in charge between a proton and a neutron?
The proton has a +1 charge, while a neutron has no charge, and is neutral.
What is the difference of Charge of a proton and charge of a neutron?
a proton is positively charged whereas a neutron has no charge, it is neutral.
What is the difference in the amount of charges in a proton and electron?
A proton and an electron have exactly opposite charges. If you take the charge of a proton as +1, then an electron has a charge of -1.
