An electron that is moving through a uniform magnetic field has velocity v→=(40km/s)+(35km/s)when it experiences a force F→=−(4.2 f±·)+(4.8 f±·)due to the magnetic field. If Bx=0, calculate the magnetic field B.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Magnetic field is equal to B→=(0.75T)

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

v→=(40km/s)+(35km/s)F→=−(4.2 f±·)+(4.8 f±·)Bx=0

02

Significance of magnetic force

The influence of a magnetic field produced by one charge on another is what is known as the magnetic force between two moving charges

We can use the formula for force on the charged particle in the magnetic field. Writing this formula in the vector form and comparing it with the given information, we can find the magnetic field.

Formula:

F→=qv→×B→

03

Determining the magnetic field B→

We are given that Bx=0, the velocity in the z direction, and the magnetic force in the z direction is zero.

We have

F→=q(v→×B→)

Using cross product formula in vector notation and using the above given terms, we can write

Fxi^+Fyj^=qvyBzi^-vxBzj^+vxByk^

From the above equation, we can see that Byis zero.

Now Bzcan be found from the above equation and force vector.

Bz=Fxqvy=−4.2fN−1.6×10−19C×35km/s

Writing the terms in the SI units, we have

Bz=4.2×10−15N1.6×10−19 C×35,000m/s=0.75T

Therefore, magnetic field in vector notation can be written as

B→=(0.75T)

An alpha particle travels at a velocityv→of magnitude550m/s through a uniform magnetic field of magnitudeB→=0.045T. (An alpha particle has a charge of+3.2×10-19C and a mass ofkg.) The angle betweenv→andB→is 52°. (a)What is the magnitude of the forceFB→acting on the particle due to the field? (b)What is the acceleration of the particle due toFB→?

(c)Does the speed of the particle increase, decrease, or remain the same?

In Figure 28-40, an electron with an initial kinetic energy of4.0keV enters region 1 at time t= 0. That region contains a uniform magnetic field directed into the page, with magnitude 0.010T. The electron goes through a half-circle and then exits region 1, headed toward region 2 across a gap of25.0cm. There is an electric potential difference ∆V=2000V across the gap, with a polarity such that the electron’s speed increases uniformly as it traverses the gap. Region 2 contains a uniform magnetic field directed out of the page, with magnitude 0.020T. The electron goes through a half-circle and then leaves region 2. Atwhat time tdoes it leave?

An alpha particle can be produced in certain radioactive decays of nuclei and consists of two protons and two neutrons. The particle has a charge ofq=+2e and a mass of 4.00u, where uis the atomic mass unit, with1³Ü=1.661×10-27 kg. Suppose an alpha particle travels in a circular path of radius4.50 cm in a uniform magnetic field withB=1.20T . Calculate (a) its speed (b) its period of revolution, (c) its kinetic energy, and (d)the potential difference through which it would have to be accelerated to achieve this energy.

Two concentric, circular wire loops, of radii r1 = 20.0cm and r2 = 30.0 cm, are located in an xyplane; each carries a clockwise current of 7.00 A (Figure).

(a) Find the magnitude of the net magnetic dipole moment of the system.

(b) Repeat for reversed current in the inner loop.

Estimate the total path length traveled by a deuteron in a cyclotron of radius 53cm and operating frequency12MHz during the (entire) acceleration process. Assume that the accelerating potential between the Dees is80kV.
