[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

A positive charge coasts upward at a constant velocity for a long time. Then at t=0(Figure 23.120) a force acts downward on it for 1ns(1×10-9s). After this force stops acting, the charge coasts upward at a smaller constant speed for 1 ns; then a force acts upward for and it resumes its original speed. The new position reached at t=3nsis much less than a millimeter from the original position.

You stand at location A 30m, to the right of the charge (Figure 23.120), with instruments for measuring electric and magnetic fields. What will you observe due to the motion of the positive charge, at what times? You do not need to calculate the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields, but you do need to specify their directions, and the times when these fields are observed.

Hence the time taken by the radiation pulse to react at the observer position is100ns and direction of the fields is out of the page.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The distance covered by the charge,L=30m

At ,t=0 a force act on charge for the 1ns.

02

Determine the formulas to calculate time forradiation pulse to reach at the point A.

The expression to calculate the time for radiation pulse to reach at pointA is given as follows.

role="math" localid="1668588905933" t=Lc …(¾±)

Here, c is the speed of the light.

03

Determining the time for radiation pulse to reach at the point A.

Calculate the time to reach at the point A.

Substitute 3×108m/sfor ccand30mfor L into equation (i).

t=30 m 3×108m/s=10×10-8 s=100×10-9 s=100ns

Let assume observer is at position A. The propagation of wave, direction of magnetic field and electric field are shown below.

The direction of acceleration from t=0nstot=1nsis downward and the direction of radiative field from 100nsto101nsupward. Since the direction of the propagation is v=E×Bthe right therefore the direction of the magnetic field is out of the page.

From role="math" localid="1668589871682" 101nsto102nsthe radiative field is zero due to zero acceleration. From t=102nsto103ns, there is radiative electric field in the downward direction and propagation direction is v=E×B. Therefore, the direction of the magnetic field is out of the page.

A proton is accelerated in the direction shown by the arrow labeled \(\vec a\) in Figure 23.118. Which of the arrows labeled A–F correctly shows the direction of the vector \({\vec a_ \bot }\)at the observation location indicated by the vector \(\vec r\)?

A point source of green light is placed on the axis of a thin converging lens, 15cm to the left of the lens. The lens has a focal length of 10cm. Where is the location of the image of the source? Is it a real or a virtual image? If you placed a sheet of paper at the location of the image, what would you see on the paper?

A slab (pulse) of electromagnetic radiation that is 15cm thick is propagating downward (in the direction) toward a short horizontal copper wire located at the origin and oriented parallel to the z axis, as shown in Figure 23.123. (a) The direction of the electric field inside the slab is out of the page (in the+z direction). On a diagram, show and describe clearly the direction of the magnetic field inside the slab.

(b) You stand on the x axis at location<12,0,0>m, at right angles to the direction of propagation of the pulse. Your friend stands on the z axis at location<0,0,12>m. The pulse passes the copper wire at time t1=0, and at a later time t2 you observe new nonzero electric and magnetic fields at your location, but your friend does not. Explain. What is t2? (Give a numerical answer.) How long a time do these new fields last for you? (c) On a diagram, show and describe clearly the directions of these new nonzero fields (E→ and B→) at your location. Explain briefly but carefully.

At time t=0, electrons in a vertical copper wire (Figure 23.122) are accelerated downward for a very short time Δt(by a power supply that is not shown). A proton, initially at rest, is located a very large distance L from the wire.

Explain in detail what happens to the proton (neglect gravity), and at what time.

An electric field of 1×106N/C acts on an electron, resulting in an acceleration of 1.8×1017m/s2 for a short time. What is the magnitude of the radiative electric field observed at a location a distance of 2cm away along a line perpendicular to the direction of the acceleration?
