  1. The current in the circuit is 0.471 A.
  2. The terminal voltage Vabof the 16.0 V battery is 15.2 V

Step by step solution

01

Concept of Kirchhoff’s loop rule.

Kirchhoff’s loop rule states that the addition of all the potential differences going around the closed loop is zero.

02

  (a) Determination of the current in the circuit.

Apply the Kirchhoff’s loop rule around the circuit in the direction of the flow of current,

+16.0V-8.0V-l(1.6Ω+5Ω+1.4Ω+9.0Ω)=0l=+16.0V-8.0V1.6Ω+5Ω+1.4Ω+9.0Ω=0.471AThecalculatedvalueofIispositiveandthusthecurrentflowsinanti-clockwisedirection.

The calculated value of I is positive and thus the current flows in anti-clockwise direction.

03

(b) Determination of the terminal voltage Vab of the 16.0 V battery.

Take voltage at point a and b as respectively.

Va=Vb+16.0V-l(1.6Ω)So,Va-Vb=Vab=16.0V-(1.6Ω)(0.47A)=15.2V.Thus,thevoltageVabis15.2V.

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?
