A proton of charge +eand mass menters a uniform magnetic field B⃗=Bi^ with an initial velocityv⃗=v0xi^+v0yj^.Find an expression in unit-vector notation for its velocity at any later time t.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expression for velocity v→at any later time t isv⃗(t)=v0xi^+v0ycos(Ӭt)j^-v0ysin(Ӭt)k^..

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

  1. The charge of the proton is q=+e.
  2. The uniform magnetic field is B→=Bi^

3. The initial velocity is role="math" localid="1662913225328" v⃗=v0xi^+v0yj^.

02

Understanding the concept

By substituting the formula for force in the equation of the motion for the proton and solving it, we can find the expression for velocity v→at any later time t.

Formula:

  1. The equation of the motion for the proton is given byF⃗=qv⃗×B⃗
  2. The force isF⃗=mpa⃗
03

Determining the expression for velocity v→ at any later time t

The equation of the motion for the proton is given by

F⃗=qv⃗×B⃗F⃗=q(vxi^+vyj^+vzk^)×Bi^

F⃗=qB(vzj^-vyk^) …(¾±)

But, we know that,F⃗=mpa⃗, where mp is the mass of the proton.

localid="1662914279886" F⃗=mp((dvxdti^+dvydtj^+dvzdtk^)

And charge q=+e

Substituting in equation (i) we get,

mp((dvxdti^+dvydtj^+dvzdtk^)=eBvzj^-vyk^

Therefore, we have

((dvxdti^+dvydtj^+dvzdtk^)=eBmpvzj^-vyk^

But,eBmp=Ó¬, thus,

(dvxdti^+dvydtj^+dvzdtk^)=Ó¬vzj^-vyk^

Therefore,dvxdt=0,dvydt=Ó¬vz, and dvzdt=-Ó¬vy.

We can solve these equations to get

vx=vox,vy=v0ycos(Ó¬t)andVz=-V0ysin(Ó¬t)

Thus, the velocity is

v⃗(t)=v0xi^+v0ycos(Ӭt)j^-voysin(Ӭt)k^

A proton, a deuteron (q=+e,m=2.0u), and an alpha particle (q=+2e,m=4.0u) all having the same kinetic energy enter a region of uniform magnetic field, moving perpendicular to it. What is the ratio of (a) the radius rd of the deuteron path to the radius rpof the proton path and (b) the radius rαof the alpha particle path to rp?

Question: A proton moves through a uniform magnetic field given byB→=(10i^+20j^+30k^)mT. At time t1, the proton has a velocity given v→=vxi^+vyj^+(2.00km/s)k^and the magnetic force on the proton is FB→=(4.0×10-17N)i^+(2.0×10-17N)j^.At that instant, (a) What is the value of vx? (b)What is the value ofvy?

Question: In Fig. 28-57, the two ends of a U-shaped wire of mass m=10.0gand length L=20.0cmare immersed in mercury (which is a conductor).The wire is in a uniform field of magnitude B=0.100T. A switch (unshown) is rapidly closed and then reopened, sending a pulse of current through the wire, which causes the wire to jump upward. If jump height h=3.00m, how much charge was in the pulse? Assume that the duration of the pulse is much less than the time of flight. Consider the definition of impulse (Eq. 9-30) and its relationship with momentum (Eq. 9-31). Also consider the relationship between charge and current (Eq. 26-2).

A particular type of fundamental particle decays by transforming into an electron e−and a positron e+. Suppose the decaying particle is at rest in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude3.53mT and the e− and e+move away from the decay point in paths lying in a plane perpendicular to B→ . How long after the decay do the e− and e+collide?
