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 and (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 and )?
(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 () 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:
Use Eq. to obtain the magnetic field on the axis of the rotating disk in Prob. . Show that the dipole field (Eq. ), with the dipole moment you found in Prob. , is a good approximation if
