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
