You wish to hit a target from several meters away with a charged coin having a mass of \(4.25\,{\rm{g}}\) and a charge of \( + 2500\,{\rm{\mu C}}\). The coin is given an initial velocity of

12.8m/s,and a downward, uniform electric field with field strength 27.5 N/Cexists throughout the region. If you aim directly at the target and fire the coin horizontally, what magnitude and direction of uniform magnetic field are needed in the region for the coin to hit the target?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude and direction of uniform magnetic field are needed in the region for the coin to hit the target are \(3.45\,{\rm{T}}\)and to the left when viewed on the direction of the target.

Step by step solution

01

Magnetic and electrical force

The magnetic force and electrical force

\(qvB = qE + mg\)

02

Step 2: Identification of the given data

The value of mass is,\(m = 4.25\,{\rm{g}}\)

The value of charge is,\(q = 2500\,{\rm{\mu C}}\).

The initial velocity is, v = 112.8m/s

The value of field strength is, E = 27.5N/C.

03

Determine the magnitude of magnetic force and direction

The magnetic force is given by

\(qvB = qE + mg\)

Therefore,

\(B = \frac{{qE + mg}}{{qv}}\)

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

\(\begin{aligned}{}B = \frac{{\left( {2500 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\,{\rm{C}}} \right)(27.5\,{\rm{N/C}}) + (0.00425\,{\rm{kg}})\left( {9.80\,{\rm{m/}}{{\rm{s}}^{\rm{2}}}} \right)}}{{\left( {2500 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}\,{\rm{C}}} \right)(12.8\,{\rm{m/s}})}}\\ = 3.45\;\,{\rm{T}}\end{aligned}\)

Since the direction of the electric field is downwards, so the magnetic force is upwards.

Therefore, the direction of the magnetic field is into the page.

Therefore, the magnetic field is \(3.45\;\,{\rm{T}}\)

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H-(the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeVto20MeV.This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible about 12000of the proton’s mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9T..(a) What is the speed of a 5.0-MeVH-? (b) If the H-has energy 5.0MeVandB=1.9T what is the radius of this ion’s circulator orbit?

Which of the graphs in Fig. Q25.12 best illustrates the current I in a real resistor as a function of the potential difference V across it? Explain.

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each other. If you then stick the sticky side of one to the shiny side of the other and rip them apart, they will attract each other. Give a plausible explanation, involving transfer of electrons between the strips of tape, for this sequence of events.
