An electron moves through a uniform magnetic field given byB→=Bxlocalid="1663949077851" i^+(3.0Bxlocalid="1663949086294" )j^. At a particular instant, the electron has velocityv→= (localid="1663949095061" 2.0i^+4.0j^) and the magnetic force acting on it islocalid="1663949102219" (6.4×10-19N)k^.Find Bx.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value ofBxis - 2.0T.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

The velocity of electron, v⇶Ä=(2.0)i^+(4.0)j^m/s

The force on the electron due to magnetic field,FB⇶Ä=(6.4×10-19N)k⇶Ä

The magnetic field,B⇶Ä=(Bx)i^+(3.0Bx)j^

02

Determining the concept

Findthe value ofBxon an electron using the formula for magnetic force in terms of charge, magnetic field strength, and velocity of an electron.

The force on moving charge due to magnetic field.

FB=qv×B

Where, FBis magnetic force, v is velocity, B is magnetic field, q is charge of particle.

03

Determining the value of 

The magnetic force experienced bytheelectron is,

FB=ev→×B→

(6.4×10-19N)k^=(-1.6×10-19C)[((2.0)i^+(4.0)j^)×((Bx)i^+(3.0Bx)j^)]............(1)

localid="1662384499354" v→×B→localid="1662384502905" =i^2.0Bxj^4.03.0Bxk^00

v→×B→=localid="1662354923381" [((2.0)(3.0Bx))-(4.0Bx)]k^

v→×B→=localid="1662355745585" 2.0BxTM/Sk^

Hence,

6.4×10-19Nk^=-1.6×10-19C2.0BXk^

Bx=6.4×10-19N-1.6×10-19C2.0

Bx= - 2.0T

Hence, the value of magnetic field Bxis - 2.0T.

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.

A 5.0μCparticle moves through a region containing the uniform magnetic field localid="1664172266088" -20iÁåžmTand the uniform electric field 300j^ V/m. At a certain instant the velocity of the particle is localid="1664172275100" (17iÁåž-11jÁåž+7.0kÁåž)km/s. At that instant and in unit-vector notation, what is the net electromagnetic force (the sum of the electric and magnetic forces) on the particle?

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%?

Atom 1 of mass 35uand atom 2 of mass 37u are both singly ionized with a charge of +e. After being introduced into a mass spectrometer (Fig. 28-12) and accelerated from rest through a potential difference V=7.3kV, each ion follows a circular path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B=0.50T. What is the distanceΔxbetween the points where the ions strike the detector?

An electron is accelerated from rest through potential difference Vand then enters a region of uniform magnetic field, where itundergoes uniform circular motion.
