An electron is placed in a magnetic field B→ that is directed along azaxis. The energy difference between parallel and antiparallel alignments of the zcomponent of the electron’s spin magnetic moment withB→is6.00×10-25J. What is the magnitude ofB→?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of the magnetic field is32.36mT

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

Theenergy difference between parallel and antiparallel alignments of the zcomponent of the electron’s spin magnetic moment is, ΔU=6.0×10-25J

02

Definition of Potential Energy of Spin Magnetic Moment and expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field

The potential energy of the spin magnetic dipole moment kept in an external magnetic field is given by the dot product of the spin magnetic dipole moment and the external magnetic field.The expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field is given as follows,

B=ΔU2μB

Here, ΔUis theenergy difference between parallel and antiparallel alignments, and μBis themagnetic dipole moment with the value9.27×10-24J/T.

03

Determination of the Magnitude of the Magnetic Field

Substitute all the values in the expression for the magnitude of the magnetic field.

B=6.0×10-25J2×9.27×10-24J/T=3×10-19.27T=0.3236×10-1T×1000mT1T=32.36mT

Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic field is32.36mT .
