An electron moves in a circle of radiusr=5.29×10-11mwith speed 2.19×106ms. Treat the circular path as a current loop with a constant current equal to the ratio of the electron’s charge magnitude to the period of the motion. If the circle lies in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B=7.10mT, what is the maximum possible magnitude of the torque produced on the loop by the field?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The maximum possible magnitude of the torque produced on the loop by the field is 6.58×10-26N·m.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data

a) Radius of a circle, r=5.29×10-11m

b) Velocity of a charge, V=2.19×106m/s .

c) The magnetic field, B=7.10mT or7.10×10-3T

02

Determine the formula for the torque and the current

The current flowing in a conductor is as follows:

I=qT …… (i)

Here,qis the amount of charge flow,Tis the time taken for the flow.

The time taken by a circular body to complete a revolution is as follows:

T=V2πr …… (ii)

Here,Vis the velocity of the body,2Ï€ris the radius of the circular path.

The torque acting at a point inside a magnetic field is as follows:

τ=NiABsinθ ……. (iii)

Here, Nis the number of turns in the coil, iis the current of the wire, Ais the area of the conductor, Bis the magnetic field, θis the angle made by the conductor with the magnetic field.

03

Determine the maximum possible torque

Using these equations (i) and (ii), the equation of torque can be given as follows:

τ=N×qT×A×B×sinθ=N×q2πr×πr2×B×sinθQArea of the circular path,A=πr2=N×q×V×r2×B×sinθ

As the torque is perpendicular to the radius and magnetic fieldθ=90°

So, the value of the maximum possible torque can be given using the given data in the above equation as follows:

τ=1×1.6×10-19C×2.19×106ms×5.29×10-11m2×7.10×10-3T×sin90°=6.58×10-26N·m

Hence, the value of the maximum possible torque is 6.58×10-26N·m.

An alpha particle can be produced in certain radioactive decays of nuclei and consists of two protons and two neutrons. The particle has a charge ofq=+2e and a mass of 4.00u, where uis the atomic mass unit, with1³Ü=1.661×10-27 kg. Suppose an alpha particle travels in a circular path of radius4.50 cm in a uniform magnetic field withB=1.20T . Calculate (a) its speed (b) its period of revolution, (c) its kinetic energy, and (d)the potential difference through which it would have to be accelerated to achieve this energy.

In Figure 28-39, a charged particle moves into a region of uniform magnetic field, goes through half a circle, and then exits that region. The particle is either a proton or an electron (you must decide which). It spends 130 ns in the region. (a)What is the magnitude of B→?

(b)If the particle is sent back through the magnetic field (along the same initial path) but with 2.00 times its previous kinetic energy, how much time does it spend in the field during this trip?

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.
