In an experiment with comic rays, vertical beam of particles that have charges of magnitude 3e and mass 12 times the proton mass enters a uniform horizontal magnetic field of and is bent in a semicircle of diameter 95.0 cm , as in figure (a) find the speed of the particles and the sign of their charge. (b) Is it reasonable to ignore the gravity force on the particles? (c) How does the speed of particles as they enter the field compare to their speed as they exit the field.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The speed of the particles is2.84×106m/s and the sign of their charge is negative.

(b) Yes, it is reasonable, on the particles gravitational force can be ignore.

(c) The speed of particles is constant.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of the magnetic field

The term magnetic field may be defined as the area around the magnet behave like a magnet.

02

Determine the speed of the particles and the sign of their charge

force acting on it is

F→B=qv→×B→

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity so

F→B=qvB …â¶Ä¦.(1)

according to Second law of motion the magnitude of the force is product of mass and acceleration

FB=ma

And radial acceleration is a=v2rsoFB=mv2r …â¶Ä¦

Now form (1) equationF→B=evBsinθwhereθ=90°SoFB=evB

From (1) and (2)

qvB=mv2rv=qvBRmv=31.60×10-19C0.250T0.475m121.67×10-27kgv=2.84×106m/s

According to the right-hand rule Multiply by negative sign to the direction of in order to the direction of force. The charge is negative.

03

Determine the Gravitational force on the particle can be ignore or not

First calculate magnetic force acting on the particle

FB=qvBsinθFB=31.60×10-19C2.84×106m/s0.250Tsin90°FB=3.41×10-13N

And the gravitational force acting on the particle can be calculated as

Fg=mgFg=121.67×10-27kg9.80m/s2Fg=1.96×10-25N

Conclude thatFB≫Fg

Hence, yes, it is reasonable, on the particles gravitational force can be ignore.

04

Determine the speed of particles

The angle between magnetic field and the path is 90°.so it do-not changed magnitude but change velocity therefore speed of the particles is constant.

Hence the speed of particles is constant.

Question: A +2.00nC point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.00nC point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. (a) Find the electric field (magnitude and direction) at each of the following points on the x-axis: (i) x = 0.200 m; (ii) x = 1.20 m; (iii) x = -0.200 m. (b) Find the net electric force that the two charges would exert on an electron placed at each point in part (a).

Question: Good conductors of electricity, such as metals, are typically good conductors of heat; insulators, such as wood, are typically poor conductors of heat. Explain why there is a relationship between conduction of electricity and conduction of heat in these materials.

Question: The circuit shown in Fig. P26.74, called a Wheatstone Bridge, is used to determine the value of an unknown resistor X by comparison with three resistors M, N, and P whose resistances can be varied. For each setting, the resistance of each resistor is precisely known. With switches S1 and S2 closed, these resistors are varied until the current in the galvanometer G is zero; the bridge is then said to be balanced. (a) Show that under this condition the unknown resistance is given by X = MP/N. (This method permits very high precision in comparing resistors.) (b) If galvanometer G shows zero deflection when M = 850.0 Ω, N = 15.00 Ω, and P = 33.48 Ω, what is the unknown resistance X?

An uncharged metal sphere hangs from a nylon thread. When a positively charged glass rod is brought close to the metal sphere, the sphere is drawn toward the rod. But if the sphere touches the rod, it suddenly flies away from the rod. Explain why the sphere is first attracted and then repelled.
