In an experiment with comic rays, vertical beam of particles that have charges of magnitude 3e and mass 12 times the proton mass enters a uniform horizontal magnetic field of and is bent in a semicircle of diameter 95.0 cm , as in figure (a) find the speed of the particles and the sign of their charge. (b) Is it reasonable to ignore the gravity force on the particles? (c) How does the speed of particles as they enter the field compare to their speed as they exit the field.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The speed of the particles is2.84×106m/s and the sign of their charge is negative.

(b) Yes, it is reasonable, on the particles gravitational force can be ignore.

(c) The speed of particles is constant.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of the magnetic field

The term magnetic field may be defined as the area around the magnet behave like a magnet.

02

Determine the speed of the particles and the sign of their charge

force acting on it is

FB=qv×B

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity so

FB=qvB …….(1)

according to Second law of motion the magnitude of the force is product of mass and acceleration

FB=ma

And radial acceleration is a=v2rsoFB=mv2r ……

Now form (1) equationFB=evBsinθwhereθ=90°SoFB=evB

From (1) and (2)

qvB=mv2rv=qvBRmv=31.60×10-19C0.250T0.475m121.67×10-27kgv=2.84×106m/s

According to the right-hand rule Multiply by negative sign to the direction of in order to the direction of force. The charge is negative.

03

Determine the Gravitational force on the particle can be ignore or not

First calculate magnetic force acting on the particle

FB=qvBsinθFB=31.60×10-19C2.84×106m/s0.250Tsin90°FB=3.41×10-13N

And the gravitational force acting on the particle can be calculated as

Fg=mgFg=121.67×10-27kg9.80m/s2Fg=1.96×10-25N

Conclude thatFBFg

Hence, yes, it is reasonable, on the particles gravitational force can be ignore.

04

Determine the speed of particles

The angle between magnetic field and the path is 90°.so it do-not changed magnitude but change velocity therefore speed of the particles is constant.

Hence the speed of particles is constant.

A heart defibrillator is used to enable the heart to start beating if it has stopped. This is done by passing a large current of12Athrough the body at25Vfor a very short time, usually3.0msabout . (a) What power does the defibrillator deliver to the body, and (b) how much energy is transferred ?

(a) What is the potential difference Vadin the circuit of Fig. P25.62? (b) What is the terminal voltage of the 4.00-Vbattery? (c) A battery with emf and internal resistance 0.50Ωis inserted in the circuit at d, with its negative terminal connected to the negative terminal of the 8.00-Vbattery. What is the difference of potential Vbcbetween the terminals of the 4.00-Vbattery now?

In Europe the standard voltage in homes is 220 V instead of the 120 used in the United States. Therefore a “100-W” European bulb would be intended for use with a 220-V potential difference (see Problem 25.36). (a) If you bring a “100-W” European bulb home to the United States, what should be its U.S. power rating? (b) How much current will the 100-W European bulb draw in normal use in the United States?

A 12.4-µF capacitor is connected through a 0.895-MΩ resistor to a constant potential difference of 60.0 V. (a) Compute the charge on the capacitor at the following times after the connections are made: 0, 5.0 s, 10.0 s, 20.0 s, and 100.0 s. (b) Compute the charging currents at the same instants. (c) Graph the results of parts (a) and (b) for t between 0 and 20 s

High-voltage power supplies are sometimes designed intentionally to have rather large internal resistance as a safety precaution. Why is such a power supply with a large internal resistance safer than a supply with the same voltage but lower internal resistance?
