Find and sketch the trajectory of the particle in Ex. 5.2, if it starts at

the origin with velocity

(a)v→(0)=EByÁåœ(b)v→(0)=E2ByÁåœ(c)v→(0)=EB(yÁåœ+zÁåœ).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The trajectory for v→0=EByÁåœis

yt=EBtzt=0

(b) The trajectory for v→0=E2ByÁåœis

yt=-E2Ó¬BÓ¬t+EBtzt=-E2Ó¬BcosÓ¬t+E2Ó¬B

(c) The trajectory for v→0=EByÁåœ+zÁåœis

yt=-EÓ¬BcosÓ¬t+EBt+EÓ¬Bzt=EÓ¬BsinÓ¬t

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Initial velocity of the particle is

av→0=EByÁåœ,bv→0=E2ByÁåœ,cv→0=EByÁåœ+zÁåœ

02

General trajectory of a particle in crossed electric and magnetic field

The general trajectory of a charge in the given electric field E→and magnetic field B→is

y(t)=C1cos(Ó¬t)+C2sin(Ó¬t)+EBt+C3.....(1)z(t)=C2cos(Ó¬t)+C1sin(Ó¬t)+C4.....(2)

Here, Ó¬is the frequency and C1are constants to be set from initial conditions.

Trajectory for the first case

The initial conditions are

(i)y0=0

Apply this to equation (1) .

C1+C3=0

(ii) z0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C2+C4=0

(iii) y.0=EB

Applied this to equation (1) .

C2=0

Thus,C4=0

(iv) z.0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C1=0

Thus,C3=0

Hence, the trajectory is

yt=EBtzt=0

04

Trajectory for the second case

The initial conditions are

(i)y0=0

Apply this to equation (1) .

C1+C3=0

(ii) z0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C2+C4=0

(iii) y.0=E2B

Apply this to equation (1) .

C2=-E2Ó¬B

Thus, C4=E2Ó¬B

(iv) z.0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C1=0

Thus,C3=0

Hence, the trajectory is

yt=-E2Ó¬BsinÓ¬t+EBtzt=-E2Ó¬BcosÓ¬t+E2Ó¬B

05

Trajectory for the third case

The initial conditions are

(i)y0=0

Apply this to equation (1) .

C1+C3=0

(ii) z0=0

Apply this to equation (2) .

C2+C4=0

(iii) y.0=EB

Apply this to equation (1) .

C2=0

Thus, C4=0

(iv) z.0=EB

Apply this to equation (2) .

C1=-EÓ¬B

Thus, C4=EÓ¬B

Hence, the trajectory is

yt=-EÓ¬BcosÓ¬t+EBt+EÓ¬Bzt=EÓ¬BsinÓ¬t

Most popular questions from this chapter

In 1897, J. J. Thomson "discovered" the electron by measuring the

charge-to-mass ratio of "cathode rays" (actually, streams of electrons, with charge qand mass m)as follows:

(a) First he passed the beam through uniform crossed electric and magnetic fields E→and B→(mutually perpendicular, and both of them perpendicular to the beam), and adjusted the electric field until he got zero deflection. What, then, was the speed of the particles in terms of E→and B→)?

(b) Then he turned off the electric field, and measured the radius of curvature, R,

of the beam, as deflected by the magnetic field alone. In terms of E, B,and R,

what is the charge-to-mass ratio (qlm)of the particles?

Question: Use Eq. 5.41 to obtain the magnetic field on the axis of the rotating disk in Prob. 5.37(a). Show that the dipole field (Eq. 5.88), with the dipole moment you found in Prob. 5.37, is a good approximation if z>> R.

A circularly symmetrical magnetic field ( B depends only on the distance from the axis), pointing perpendicular to the page, occupies the shaded region in Fig. 5.58. If the total flux (∫B.da) is zero, show that a charged particle that starts out at the center will emerge from the field region on a radial path (provided it escapes at all). On the reverse trajectory, a particle fired at the center from outside will hit its target (if it has sufficient energy), though it may follow a weird route getting there. [Hint: Calculate the total angular momentum acquired by the particle, using the Lorentz force law.]

Show that the magnetic field of a dipole can be written in coordinate-free form:

Bdip(r)=μ04π1r3[3(m⋅r^)r^-m]

Use Eq. 5.41to obtain the magnetic field on the axis of the rotating disk in Prob. 5.37(a). Show that the dipole field (Eq. 5.88), with the dipole moment you found in Prob. 5.37, is a good approximation ifz>>R.
