a) Speed of electron is.2.05×107″¾/²õ

b) Magnitude of the magnetic field is .4.67×10-4 T

c) Circling frequency is .1.31×107 Hz

d) Period of the motion is .7.63×10-8 s7.63×10-8 s

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

  • Kinetic energyisK=1.20 k±ð³Õ=1.20×103×1.6×10-19 J
  • Orbit radius isr=25.0 cm=0.25 m
02

 Step 2: Understanding the concept of kinetic energy and magnetic field

We use the formula for kinetic energy to find speed. Then, we can find the frequency and period from speed and radius. To find the magnetic field, we have to use the formula for magnetic force and centrifugal force.

03

(a)Calculation of the speed of the electron 

The formula for kinetic energy is as follows:

K=0.5×mv2

Substituting the values in the above expression, and we get,

1.20×103×1.6×10−19=0.5×9.11×10−31×v2v=2.05×107″¾/²õ

Speed of electron is 2.05×107″¾/²õ.

04

Step 4:(b)Calculation of the magnetic field

Now the magnetic force is balanced by centrifugal force so:

Fm=FcqvB=mv2rB=mvqr

Substituting the values in the above expression, and we get,

B=9.11×10-31×2.05×1071.6×10-19×0.25=4.67×10-4 T

The magnitude of the magnetic field is4.67×10-4 T .

05

(c) Calculation of the circling frequency

Now the frequency is as follows:

v=rӬv=r×2π×ff=v2πr

Substituting the values in the above expression, and we get,

f=2.05×1072π×0.25=1.31×107 H³ú

Circling frequency is 1.31×107Hz.

06

(d) Calculation of the period of rotation

The period of rotation can be calculated as:

T=1f

Substituting the values in the above expression, and we get,

T=11.31×107=7.63×10-8 s

The period of the motion is 7.63×10-8s.
