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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total path length traveled by deuteron will be 2.4×102m.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

  • rcyclotron=53cm=0.53m
  • Operating frequencyf=12MHz
  • Accelerating potential between Dees 80keV.
02

Understanding the concept of the number of revolutions and kinetic energy

We are given the final energy of the deuteron. We know that it is accelerated twice in each cycle, and the energy it gains when it is accelerated. From this, we can find the number of revolutions made by the deuteron. From this number, we can find the velocity of the deuteron and the radius of the path. Using the radius of the path and the number of revolutions made, we can find the total distance traveled.

Formula:

n=FinalenergyEnergygainedperrevolution

r=mvqB

K=12mv2

03

Calculation of the total path length traveled by deuteron

We know that:

n=FinalenergyEnergygainedperrevolution

The deuteron accelerates twice in each cycle; each time, it receives the energy of 80×103eV. We are given the final energy as 16.6×106eV.

n=16.6×106eV2×80×103eV=103.75≈104

We know that:

K=12mv2

v=2Km

We know that:

r=mvqB

r=mqB×2Km

r=2KmqB

K=8.3×106×1.6×10-19J=1.328×10-12J

r=2×1.328×10-12×3.34×10-271.6×10-19×1.57=0.37494m

The total distance traveled will be:

Total Distance=n×2πr=103.75×2π×0.375494=244.416=2.4×102m

The total path length traveled by deuteron will be 2.4×102m.

Question: A wire lying along an xaxis fromx=0to x=1.00mcarries a current of 3.00 A in the positive xdirection. The wire is immersed in a nonuniform magnetic field that is given by localid="1663064054178" B→=(4.00Tm2)x2i^-(0.600Tm2)x2j^ In unit-vector notation, what is the magnetic force on the wire?

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?

In a Hall-effect experiment, a current of 3.0Asent lengthwise through a conductor1.0cmwide,4.0cm long, and10μ³¾ thick produces a transverse (across the width) Hall potential difference of10μ³Õ when a magnetic field of1.5Tis passed perpendicularly through the thickness of the conductor. From these data, find (a) the drift velocity of the charge carriers and (b) the number density of charge carriers. (c) Show on a diagram the polarity of the Hall potential difference with assumed current and magnetic field directions, assuming also that the charge carriers are electrons.

A proton circulates in a cyclotron, beginning approximately at rest at the center. Whenever it passes through the gap between Dees, the electric potential difference between the Dees is 200 V.

(a)By how much does its kinetic energy increase with each passage through the gap?

(b)What is its kinetic energy as it completes 100passes through the gap? Let r100be the radius of the proton’s circular path as it completes those 100passes and enters a dee, and let r101be its next radius, as it enters a dee the next time.

(c)By what percentage does the radius increase when it changes from r100to r101? That is, what is Percentage increase =r101-r100r100100%?

Figure 28-25 shows the path of a particle through six regions of uniform magnetic field, where the path is either a half-circle or a quarter-circle. Upon leaving the last region, the particle travels between two charged, parallel plates and is deflected toward the plate of higher potential. What is the direction of the magnetic field in each of the six regions?
