Question: A proton travels through uniform magnetic and electric fields. The magnetic fieldis B→=-2.5i^mT.At one instant the velocity of the proton is v→=2000j^m/s At that instant and in unit-vector notation, what is the net force acting on the proton if the electric field is (a) role="math" localid="1663233256112" 4.00k^V/m, (b) -4.00k^V/mand (c)4.00i^V/m?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. F→=1.44×10-18k^N
  2. F→=1.60×10-19k^N
  3. F→=6.41×10-19i^N+8.01×10-19k^N

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

B→=-2.5i^mT

v→=2000j^m/s

02

Determining the concept

The total force acting on the charged particle is the sum of the forces due to electric and magnetic fields.

Formulae are as follow:

Force acting on the charged particle due to electric field,

Fe=qE

Force acting on the charged particle due to magnetic field,

Fm=qvB

Where, Fm is magnetic force, v is velocity, B is magnetic field, q is charge of particle.

03

(a) Determining the net force acting on the proton if the electric field is 4.00k^ V/m 

The net force on the proton when E→=4.00k^V/m:

F→=qE→+V→×B→F→=1.6×10-194.00k^+2000j^×-2.5×10-3i^F→=1.6×10-194.00k^+5.00k^F→=1.44×10-18k^N

Hence, the net force acting on the proton is F→=1.44×10-18k^N

04

(b) Determining the net force acting on the proton if the electric field is -4.00k^ V/m

Then net force on the proton when E→=-4.00k^V/m:

F→=qE→+V→×B→F→=1.6×10-19-4.00k^+2000j^×-2.5×10-3i^F→=1.6×10-19-4.00k^+5.00k^F→=1.60×10-19k^N

Hence, the net force acting on the proton is F→=1.60×10-19k^N

05

(c) Determining the  net force acting on the proton if the electric field is-4.00i^ V/m

The net force on the proton when E→=4.00i^V/m

F→=qE→+V→×B→F→=1.6×10-194.00i^+2000j^×-2.5×10-3i^F→=1.6×10-194.00i^+5.00k^F→=6.41×10-19i^N+8.01×10-19k^N

Hence, the net force acting on the proton is F→=6.41×10-19i^N+8.01×10-19k^N.

Therefore, the values of net force due to different electric fields can be determined by taking the vector sum of forces due to the electric and magnetic field.

Figure 28-27 shows the path of an electron that passes through two regions containing uniform magnetic fields of magnitudesB1and.B2

Its path in each region is a half-circle.

(a) Which field is stronger?

(b) What is the direction of each field?

(c) Is the time spent by the electron in theB1→region greater than,

less than, or the same as the time spent in theB2→region?

Figure 28-29 shows 11 paths through a region of uniform magnetic field. One path is a straight line; the rest are half-circles. Table 28-4 gives the masses, charges, and speeds of 11 particles that take these paths through the field in the directions shown. Which path in the figure corresponds to which particle in the table? (The direction of the magnetic field can be determined by means of one of the paths, which is unique.)

Figure shows a wire ring of radiusa=1.8cmthat is perpendicular to the general direction of a radially symmetric, diverging magnetic field. The magnetic field at the ring is everywhere of the same magnitude B=3.4mT, and its direction at the ring everywhere makes an angle θ=20°with a normal to the plane of the ring. The twisted lead wires have no effect on the problem. Find the magnitude of the force the field exerts on the ring if the ring carries a current i=4.6mA.

A wire lying along a yaxis from y=0to y=0.250mcarries a current of 2.00mAin the negative direction of the axis. The wire fully lies in a nonuniform magnetic field that is given byB⃗=(0.3T/m)yi^+(0.4T/m)yj^

In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic force on the wire?

Question: An electric field of1.50kV/mand a perpendicular magnetic field of 0.400Tact on a moving electron to produce no net force. What is the electron’s speed?
