Chapter 28: Q79P (page 834)
A proton, a deuteron (q=+e, m=2.0u), and an alpha particle (q=+2e, m=4.0u) are accelerated through the same potential difference and then enter the same region of uniform magnetic field, moving perpendicular to . What is the ratio of (a) the proton鈥檚 kinetic energy Kp to the alpha particle鈥檚 kinetic energy Ka and (b) the deuteron鈥檚 kinetic energy Kd to Ka? If the radius of the proton鈥檚 circular path is 10cm, what is the radius of (c) the deuteron鈥檚 path and (d) the alpha particle鈥檚 path
Short Answer
- The ratio of proton鈥檚 kinetic energy Kp to the alpha particle鈥檚 kinetic energy Ka is,
- The ratio of deuteron鈥檚 kinetic energy Kd to Ka is
- Radius of deuteron鈥檚 path is
- Radius of the alpha particle鈥檚 path is
