A charged particle is caused to move between two electrically charged plates, as shown here. () (+) (a) Why does the path of the charged particle bend? (b) What is the sign of the electrical charge on the particle? (c) As the charge on the plates is increased, would you expect the bending to increase, decrease, or stay the same? (d) As the mass of the particle is increased while the speed of the particles remains the same, would you expect the bending to increase, decrease, or stay the same? [Section 2.2]

Question
These exercises are not divided by category, although they are roughly in the order of the topics in the chapter. They are not paired.
(a) Assuming the dimensions of the nucleus and atom shown in Figure 2.11, what fraction of the volume of the atom is taken up by the nucleus?
A mass spectrometer. Cl atoms are introduced at A and are ionized to form \(\mathrm{Cl}^{+}\) ions, which are then directed through a magnetic field. The paths of the ions of the two Cl isotopes diverge as they pass through the field.
(b) Using the mass of the proton from Table 2.1 and assuming its diameter is \(1.0 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~m}\), calculate the density of a proton in \(\mathrm{g/cm}^{3}\).
