A proton (q = 1.60 * 10-19 C, m = 1.67 * 10-27 kg) moves in a uniform magnetic field. At t = 0 the proton has velocity components vx = 1.50 * 105 m/s, vy = 0, and vz = 2.00 * 105 m/s (see Example 27.4). (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic force acting on the proton? In addition to the magnetic field there is a uniform electric field in the +x-directionE→=(+2.00x10Vm)i^. (b) Will the proton have a component of acceleration in the direction of the electric field? (c) Describe the path of the proton. Does the electric field affect the radius of the helix? Explain. (d) At t = T/2, where T is the period of the circular motion of the proton, what is the x-component of the displacement of the proton from its position at t = 0?

Short Answer

  1. The force acting on the proton is(1.60×10−14N)j^
  2. Yes, the proton has a component of acceleration in the direction of the electric field.
  3. The path of the proton is helix.
  4. The x-component of the displacement of the proton from its position at t = 0 is 1.40cm

Step by step solution

01

Force acting on proton

The total force acting on a proton is given by

F→=q(E→+v→×B→)=q(v→×B→)

02

Determine the force acting on a proton

(a)

The total force acting on a proton is

F→=q(E→+v→×B→)=q(v→×B→)=q(vxi^+vzk^×Bxi^)=qvzBxj^=(1.60×10−19C)(2.00×105m/s)(0.500T)j^=(1.60×10−14N)j^

Therefore, the force acting on the proton is(1.60×10−14N)j^

(b)

The electric field isE→=(+2.00×104V/m)i^

Therefore, the force due to the electric field will be at same direction,

So, yes, the proton has a component of acceleration in the direction of the electric field

03

Determine the path of the proton

(c)

The motion is circular due to the magnetic field and the magnetic field is perpendicular to the electric field,

Therefore, the motion will be circular but in x direction.

So, the path of the proton is helix.

04

Determine the x-component displacement of proton

(d)

The period of motion is

T=2Ï€Ó¬=2Ï€³¾|q|BTherefore,T=2Ï€(1.67×10−27kg)(1.60×10−19C)(0.500T)=1.312×10−7sAndweknowthataccelerationisax=eEm

And the formula of the displacement will be

x−x0=v0xt+12axt2

Put the values in the formula

x−x0=v0xt+12axt2=12v0xT+18(FEm)T2=12(1.50×105m/s)(1.312×10−7s)+18(1.60×10−19C2.00×104V/m1.67×10−27kg)(1.312×10−7s)2=1.40×10−2m=1.40cm

Therefore, the x-component of the displacement of the proton from its position at t = 0 is 1.40cm
