A 150-V battery is connected across two parallel metal plates of area 28.5 cm2 and separation 8.20 mm. A beam of alpha particles (charge +2e, mass 6.64 * 10-27 kg) is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1.75 kV and enters the region between the plates perpendicular to the electric field, as shown in Fig. E27.29. What magnitude and direction of magnetic field are needed so that the alpha particles emerge undeflected from between the plates?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude 0.0445T and the direction out of the pageis needed to that alpha particle emerge undeflected from between the plates.

Step by step solution

01

Potential energy and kinetic energy of a charged particle in an electric field

The potential energy and the kinetic energy are equal

Therefore,

12mv2=qV

And

v=2qVm

02

Determine the magnitude and direction of the particle

The potential energy and the kinetic energy are equal

12mv2=qVv=2qVm

Therefore,

v=2qVm=4(1.60×10−19C)(1750V)6.64×10−27kg=4.11×105m/s

And the magnetic force is equal to the electric force

Therefore,

qvB=qEB=Ev

And the electric field is

E=Ed=150V0.00820m=18300V/m

And the magnetic field is

B=EV=18300V/m4.11×105m/s=0.0445T

Therefore, And the direction of the magnetic field is out of the page and the magnitude is 0.0445T

A 5.00-A current runs through a 12-gauge copper wire (diameter

2.05 mm) and through a light bulb. Copper has8.5×108free electrons per

cubic meter. (a) How many electrons pass through the light bulb each

second? (b) What is the current density in the wire? (c) At what speed does

a typical electron pass by any given point in the wire? (d) If you were to use

wire of twice the diameter, which of the above answers would change?

Would they increase or decrease?

The power rating of a light bulb (such as a 100-W bulb) is the power it dissipates when connected across a 120-V potential difference. What is the resistance of (a) a 100-W bulb and (b) a 60-W bulb? (c) How much current does each bulb draw in normal use?

A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hair dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

You connect a battery, resistor, and capacitor as in Fig. 26.20a, where R = 12.0 Ω and C = 5.00 x 10-6 F. The switch S is closed at t = 0. When the current in the circuit has a magnitude of 3.00 A, the charge on the capacitor is 40.0 x 10-6 C. (a) What is the emf of the battery? (b) At what time t after the switch is closed is the charge on the capacitor equal to 40.0 x 10-6 C? (c) When the current has magnitude 3.00 A, at what rate is energy being (i) stored in the capacitor, (ii) supplied by the battery
