Step 1
We need to find the magnitude of the force exerted by a plutonium nucleus on a single electron. The plutonium nucleus has 94 protons, and the distance between the nucleus and the electron is \(0.563 \times 10^{-12}\) meters. Show more…

What is the total charge of the neptunium nucleus? (The neutral neptunium atom has 93 electrons.) 1.49x10^-17 C What is the magnitude of its electric field at a distance of 8.81x10^-10 m from the nucleus? 1.34x10^22 N/C Remember to use the charge in coulombs. What is the magnitude of the force on an electron at that distance? What would the magnitude of the force be if the distance of the electron from the nucleus were doubled?
