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.

Figure 28-35 shows a metallic block, with its faces parallel to coordinate axes. The block is in auniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.020 T. One edge length of the block is 25 cm; the block is not drawn to scale. The block is moved at 3.0 m/s parallel to each axis, in turn, and the resulting potential difference Vthat appears across the block is measured. With the motion parallel to the y-axis, V= 12 mV; with the motion parallel to the z-axis, V= 18 mV; with the motion parallel to the x-axis, V= 0. What are the block lengths (a) dx, (b) dy, and (c) dz?

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?

Question: Figure 28-56 shows a homopolar generator, which has a solid conducting disk as rotor and which is rotated by a motor (not shown). Conducting brushes connect this emf device to a circuit through which the device drives current. The device can produce a greater emf than wire loop rotors because they can spin at a much higher angular speed without rupturing. The disk has radius R=0.250 mand rotation frequency f=4000Hz, and the device is in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B=60.0mTthat is perpendicular to the disk. As the disk is rotated, conduction electrons along the conducting path (dashed line) are forced to move through the magnetic field. (a) For the indicated rotation, is the magnetic force on those electrons up or down in the figure? (b) Is the magnitude of that force greater at the rim or near the center of the disk? (c)What is the work per unit charge done by that force in moving charge along the radial line, between the rim and the center? (d)What, then, is the emf of the device? (e) If the current is 50.0 A, what is the power at which electrical energy is being produced?

Figure 28-22 shows three situations in which a positively charged particle moves at velocityV→through a uniform magnetic field B→and experiences a magnetic forceFB→In each situation, determine whether the orientations of the vectors are physically reasonable.

In Fig. 28-36, a particle moves along a circle in a region of uniform magnetic field of magnitudeB=4.00mT. The particle is either a proton or an electron (you must decide which). It experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 3.20×10-15N. What are (a) the particle’s speed, (b) the radius of the circle, and (c)the period of the motion?
