A beam of protons traveling at 1.20 km/s enters a uniform magnetic field, traveling perpendicular to the field. The beam exits the magnetic field, leaving the field in a direction pependicurlar to its original direction (Fig. E27.24). The beam travels a distance of 1.10 cm while in the field. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field?

Step by step solution

01

27.24

Recall that the force on a particle in a magnetic field is given by

F⇶Ä=qv⇶Ä×B⇶ÄF=qvBsin(Ï•)

Where qis the charge of the particle, vis the particles velocity, Bis the magnetic field, and ϕis the angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field.

In the magnetic field, our particles experience uniform circular motion, so

F=mac

Recall that the angular acceleration is given by

ac=v2r

Thus we have that

role="math" localid="1650556775424" F=qvBsin(Ï•)F=qvBmac=qvBmv2r=qvBB=mvrq

Now we just need to find the radius. The distance, d, is a fourth of the circumference, C, of a circle, so

d=14Cd=142πrd=πr2r=2dπ

Now We plug this into our above equation and solve.

BIO Transmission of Nerve Impulses. Nerve cells transmit electric

signals through their long tubular axons. These signals propagate due to a

sudden rush of Na+ions, each with charge +e, into the axon. Measurements

have revealed that typically about 5.6×1011Na+ions enter each meter of the

axon during a time of . What is the current during this inflow of charge

in a meter of axon?

Copper has 8.5×1022free electrons per cubic meter. A 71.0-cm
