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.

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?

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?

Figure 28-46 shows a wood cylinder of mass m=0.250kg and lengthL=0.100m,withN=10.0 turns of wire wrapped around it longitudinally, so that the plane of the wire coil contains the long central axis of the cylinder. The cylinder is released on a plane inclined at an angle θ to the horizontal, with the plane of the coil parallel to the incline plane. If there is a vertical uniform magnetic field of magnitude0.500T , what is the least current ithrough the coil that keeps the cylinder from rolling down the plane?

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?

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?
