This interactive homework problem shows a particle beam made up of many protons each with a kinetic energy of 3.25×10-15J. Using information given in the problem, the user is asked to find the magnitude of a uniform electric field that will stop these protons at a distance of 2 m. The problem is accompanied by a Socratic-dialog "help" sequence designed to encourage critical thinking as users do a guided conceptual analysis before attempting the mathematics. Immediate feedback for both correct and incorrect responses is provided through each step of the problem-solving.
This item is part of a larger collection of interactive problems developed by the Illinois Physics Education Research Group.
