An electron moves at 1.40×106m/sthrough a regionin which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude 7.40×10-2T. (a) What are the largest and smallest possible magnitudes of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field? (b) If the actual acceleration of the electron is one-fourth of the largest magnitude in part (a), what is the angle
between the electron velocity and the magnetic field?

Step by step solution

01

The significance of the magnetic field

The magnetic field force is given by

FB=q(v×B)F=±ç±¹µþ²õ¾±²Ôθ

Where q is the charge of the particle, V is the velocity and B is the magnetic field

02

Determination of the largest and smallest possible magnitudes of the acceleration

We know that the magnetic field force is given by

F=qv×BF=qvB²õ¾±²Ôθ

By the second law of motion we know that the force on a body is

F⇶Ä=ma⇶Ä

And the magnetic field force is given by

F=qv×B

Equating the two we get

ma⇶Ä=qv×Ba⇶Ä=qv×Bma⇶Ä=qvB²õ¾±²Ôθm

For minimum acceleration we get when,θ=0°wehaveamin=0.

For maximum acceleration we get,θ=90°

Substitute all the value in the above equation

a→=1.60×10-19C1.40×106m/s7.40×10-2T9.11×10-31Kga→=1.82×1016m/s2

Hence, the maximum acceleration isamax=1.82×1016m/s2

03

Determination of the angle between the electron velocity and the magnetic field

When the actual acceleration of the electron is one-fourth of the largest magnitude a'=a4, then the magnetic force on the electron is also one-fourth of the largest force.

F'=F4

We get

±ç±¹µþ²õ¾±²ÔÏ•=qvB4²õ¾±²ÔÏ•=14Ï•=14.5°

Hence the angle isϕ=14.5°

Electric eels generate electric pulses along their skin that can be used to stun an enemy when they come into contact with it. Tests have shown that these pulses can be up to 500V and produce currents of 80mA(or even larger). A typical pulse lasts for 10ms. What power and how much energy are delivered to the unfortunate enemy with a single pulse, assuming a steady current?
