It is shown in more advanced courses that charged particles in circular orbits radiate electromagnetic waves, called cyclotron radiation. As a result, a particle undergoing cyclotron motion with speed v is actually losing kinetic energy at the rate

dKdt=-(μ0q46Ï€³¦³¾2)B2v2

How long does it take (a)an electron and (b)a proton to radiate away half its energy while spiraling in a 2.0Tmagnetic field

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The time taken for an electron to radiate away half its energy while spiraling is determined as t=0.45s

b) The time taken for a proton to radiate away its energy while spiraling is determined ast=2.8×109s

Step by step solution

01

 Step :1 Introduction  (part a)

The particle undergoing cyclotron motion with speed is given as

dKdt=-(μ0q46Ï€³¦³¾2)B2v2

The objectives are to find the proton and electron to radiate away half its energy while spiraling in a 2.0Tmagnetic field

02

Step :2 Kinetic energy (part a)

The rate at which kinetic energy is lost is determined by

dKdt=-(μ0q46Ï€³¦³¾2)B2v2

Because kinetic energy equals half the product of mass and velocity squared, we can get an expression for v2by

K=12mv2v2=2Km

So, in equation (1), we used v2 expression and separated dK and dt on each side.

dKdt=-(μ0q46Ï€³¦³¾2)B2(2Km)dKK=-(μ0q4B23Ï€³¦³¾3)dt

We now integrate both sides of equation (2)to obtain an expression for the time tat which the kinetic energy loses half of its energy.

∫K0.5KdKK=∫0t(μ0q4B23Ï€³¦³¾3)dtln0.5K-lnK=-(μ0q4B23Ï€³¦³¾3)tln0.5=-(μ0q4B23Ï€³¦³¾3)tt=(-3Ï€³¦³¾3ln0.5μ0q4B2)

03

Step :3 A proton  (part b)

The mass of the electron is m=-9.11×10-31kg, therefore we insert c,m,μ0,q,andBinto equation (3)to get t.

t=(-3Ï€³¦³¾3ln0.5μ0q4B2)=(-3Ï€(3×108m/s)(9.11×10-31kg)3ln0.5(4π×10-7T×mA)(1.6×10-19C)4(2T)2)=0.45s

04

Step :4 Mass of proton   (part b)

The mass of a proton is m=1.67×10-27kg, thus we insert c,m,μ0,q,andB into equation (3) to get t.

t=(-3Ï€³¦³¾3ln0.5 μ0q4B2)=(-3Ï€(3×108m/s)(1.67×10-27kg)2ln0.5(4π×10-7T×mA)(1.6×10-19C)4(2T)2)=2.8×109s
