Charge Q = 5.00 μCC is distributed uniformly over the volume of an insulating sphere that has radius R = 12.0 cm. A small sphere with charge q = +3.00 μCC and mass6.00x105kgis projected toward the center of the large sphere from an initial large distance. The large sphere is held at a fixed position and the small sphere can be treated as a point charge. What minimum speed must the small sphere have in order to come within 8.00 cm of the surface of the large sphere?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The minimum speed is 150.0m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Potential Energy

Ub=14π€0Qqr

02

Minimum Speed

The projected charge begins at point a, and as it moves towards a positive charge, the charge q has the greatest kinetic energy and zero potential energy at point a, where its speed will decrease due to the repulsive force between the two charges, so potential energy is zero.

The mechanical energy of the charge is conservative during this travel between points a and b, so the potential energy at point b is due to the electric field between the two charges and is given by;

Ub=14π€0Qqr

R is the distance between the center and point b;

localid="1664262136493" r=R+8.00cmr=12.00cm+8.00cm=20.0cm

Thus, the equation;

Ka+Ua=Kb+ubKa-Ub12mv2=14Ï€±ðQqr

The minimum speed (v) of the charge q;

localid="1664262189335" v=14π∈02Qqmr=9.0×109N.m2/C225.00×10-6C×3.00×10-6C6.0×10-5kg0.20m

Hence, the minimum speed is 150.0m/s.

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?
