An alpha particle (charge +2e) and an electron move in opposite directions from the same point, each with a speed of 2.50 x 105 m/s (Fig.). Find the magnitude and direction of the total magnetic field these charges produce at point P, which is 8.65 nm from each charge.

Step by step solution

01

Concept

Consider an alpha particle with q= +2e and an electron with q=-e, which move in opposite directions from the same point as shown in the textbook's figure, each with the speed ofv=2.50105m/s . We need to find the magnitude and direction of the total magnetic field these charges produce at point P, where this point is at a distance of r = 8.65 nm from each of the charges. The magnetic field due to this moving electron at the nucleus is given by,

B=o4qvr^r2 (1)

where is the direction of the position vector (from the charge to the point that we want to find the field at it) we can see that the angle between the velocity and the position vector is =40and e=140for the alpha particle and the electron respectively. So we can write,

B=B+Be=0v4r2esin+2esine

02

Calculation.

note that the electron is negatively charged and its velocity is negative, that is why the term of the electron is positive. Substitute with the givens we get,

B=410-7T.m/A41.6010-19C2.50105m/s8.6510-9m2sin40+2sin140=1.0310-4TB=1.0310-4T

You want to produce three 1.00-mm-diameter cylindrical wires,

each with a resistance of 1.00 鈩 at room temperature. One wire is gold, one

is copper, and one is aluminum. Refer to Table 25.1 for the resistivity

values. (a) What will be the length of each wire? (b) Gold has a density of1.9310-4kgm3.

What will be the mass of the gold wire? If you consider the current price of gold, is

this wire very expensive?

A rule of thumb used to determine the internal resistance of a source is that it is the open circuit voltage divide by the short circuit current. Is this correct? Why or why not?
