A long, straight wire carries a 13.0-A current. An electron is fired parallel to this wire with a velocity of 250 km/s in the same direction as the current, 2.00 cm from the wire.

(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the electron鈥檚 initial acceleration.

(b) What should be the magnitude and direction of a uniform electric field that will allow the electron to continue to travel parallel to the wire? (c) Is it necessary to include the effects of gravity? Justify your answer.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The magnitude and direction of the initial acceleration of the electron is 5.71012m/s2.

(b) The magnitude and direction of uniform electric field that will allow the electron to continue to travel parallel to the wire is 32.5 N/C .

(c) The effects of gravity can be neglected.

Step by step solution

01

(a) Determination of the magnitude and direction of the electron’s initial acceleration.

Acceleration of a moving particle is,

a=Fm ...(i)

There is force experienced by a moving charge in the direction perpendicular to its own velocity and also to the magnetic field. Mathematically this force is given as,

F=q惫叠蝉颈苍蠁 ...(ii)

Here, q is the charge, v is the velocity of the moving charge, B is the strength of the magnetic field and 萤 is the angle between the motion of the charge particle and the magnetic field.

The magnetic field in the vicinity of a current carrying wire is,

B=0l2蟿蟿谤

Both the direction of the force and the magnetic field can be inferred from right hand rule.

Substitute and rearrange equation (i),

a=|q|vBsinm=evm0l2r

Substitute all the values in the above equation,

a=1.61019C2.50105m/s4107Tm/A(13.0A)9.111031kg(2)(0.0200m)=5.71012m/s2

Thus, the magnitude of acceleration is 5.71012m/s2and is directed away from the wire.

02

(b) Determination of the magnitude and direction of uniform electric field that will allow the electron to continue to travel parallel to the wire.

To maintain the trajectory of the particle, the electric force must balance out the magnetic force.

eE=evBE=vB=v0I2蟺谤=(250,000m/s)4107Tm/A(13.0A)2(0.0200m)=32.5N/C

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field is 32.5 N/C and it is directed away from the wire.

03

(c) Determination of the necessity to include the effects of gravity.

The weight due to gravity on the electron is,

mg=9.11031kg9.8m/s21029N

Force due to the electric field is,

Fel=eE=1.61019C(32.5N/C)5.1018N

So,Fel=51011Fgrav

Thus, the effects of gravity can be neglected as it is negligible compared to the force due to electric force.
