Question

Constants Part A In the early years of the 20th century, a leading model of the structure of the atom was that of the English physicist J. J. Thomson (the discoverer of the electron). In Thomson's model, an atom consisted of a sphere of positively charged material in which were embedded negatively charged electrons, like chocolate chips in a ball of cookie dough. Consider such an atom consisting of one electron with mass m and charge -e, which may be regarded as a point charge, and a uniformly charged sphere of charge e and radius R Is equilibrium position of the electron at the center of the nucleus Yes No Submit Request Answer

Explanation / Answer

Yes,

The attractive force from the charged sphere will be in all directions and it will be same in magnitude. So the net force will be zero and electron will be in equilibrium.
