(a)Find the frequency of revolution of an electron with an energy of 100 eV in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 35.0 μT.

(b)Calculate the radius of the path of this electron if its velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Frequency of revolution of an electron is9.79×105 Hz.

b) Radius of the path of the electron is 0.9641 m.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities 

  • Energy is .100 eV=100×1.60×10-19 J
  • The magnitude of the magnetic field is 35.0 μT.
02

Understanding the concept of centrifugal force and energy  

Here we have to usetheconcept of equilibrium of magnetic force and centrifugal force. From this, we can find radius as well as frequency. To find the radius, first, we need to find velocity usingtheequation of kinetic energy.

Formula:

FB=qvB

Fc=mv2r

KE=0.5mv2

(a) Calculation of the frequency of revolution of an electron

We havethe magnetic and centrifugal forces, and in equilibrium, both balance each other. That can be written as:

qvB=mv2rqB=mvrqBm=vrqBm=Ó¬2Ï€f=qBm

Substitute the values, and we get,

f=qB2πm=1.6×10−10×35×10−62×π×9.1×10−31=9.79×105 Hz

Thus, the frequency of revolution of an electron is 9.79×105 Hz.

(b) Calculation of the radius of the path of an electron 

Now we can find thevelocity of an electron using the equation of kinetic energy as follows:

KE=0.5×mv2100×1.60×10−19=0.5×9.1×10−31×v2v=5.93×106″¾/²õ

And

qvB=mv2r

qB=mvr

Substitute the values, and we get,

r=mvqB=9.1×10−31×5.93×1061.6×10−19×35×10−6=0.9641 m

Thus, the radius of the path of the electron is0.9641 m.

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.)
