An electron experiences a magnetic force of magnitude4.60×10-15Nwhen moving at an angle of 60.0° with respect toa magnetic field of magnitude3.50×10-3T. Find the speed ofthe electron.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The velocity isv=9.49×106m/s

Step by step solution

01

The significance of the magnetic field

The magnetic field force is given by
FB=q(v×B)F=qvBsinθ

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

02

Determination of the speed of the electron

We know that the magnetic field force is given by

F=q(v×B)F=qvBsinθ

Rearranging we get

VFqBsinθ

Plug the values

V=4.60×10-15N1.6×10-19C3.50×10-3Tsin60v=9.496m/sHence,thevelocityisv=9.49×106m/s

Batteries are always labeled with their emf; for instances an AA flashlight battery is labelled “ 1.5 V ”. Would it also be appropriate to put a label on batteries starting how much current they provide? Why or why not?

In an L-R-C series circuit, what criteria could be used to decide whether the system is over damped or underdamped? For example, could we compare the maximum energy stored during one cycle to the energy dissipated during one cycle? Explain.

An emf source with E = 120 V, a resistor with R = 80.0 Ω, and a capacitor with C = 4.00 µF are connected in series. As the capacitor charges, when the current in the resistor is 0.900 A, what is the magnitude of the charge on each plate of the capacitor?

BIO The average bulk resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0Ω·m. The conducting path between the hands can be represented approximately as a cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible bysoaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) What potential difference between thehands is needed for a lethal shock current of 100 mA ? (Note that your result shows that small potential differences produce dangerous currents when the skin is damp.) (c) With the current in part (b),what power is dissipated in the body?

Two coils have mutual inductance M=3.25×10-4H. The current in the first coil increases at a uniform rate of 830 A/S. (a) what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the second coil? Is it constant? (b) Suppose that the current described is in the second coil rather than the first. What is the magnitude of the induced emf in the first coil?
